Primbee, NSW, AU Westerly, up to 45 knots!

A great wind forecast, and a sunny day - just like paradise.

The usual suspects at Primbee + Isaac - a good bunch of guys. Jase was first out in only a moderate wind and I followed soon after with the 90/6.2 combo. Good fun, and reasonably flat water. I could only last a bare hour before having a break and a gasbag with the guys.

The wind was picking up and being a bit more consistent so I rigged the 5.6 and ventured out on the W49 speed board. Another good fun hour session with the occasional 30 knot + gust. Of course as the wind was picking up so was the chop making fast speeds quite hard to achieve. First time out with the 20/50 OH fin - very nice and predictable.

After lunch break the wind really powered in - the white mist was forming on the water, and I was glad I was on the shore! A bit of a lull in the wind tempted me to go back out on the 90/5.6 combo but after one run the wind cranked up again. The run back to base was mainly the walk of shame - too windy for me! Fortunately no broken anything - I'm getting soft in my old age

Primbee, NSW, AU

Late sail again after work. Started of light, and then the gusts started from NW to SW, chop at different angles, 40kt bullets then nothing, very chaotic!

Most of the time it was best up at the Windang end.

56cm wide custom slalom Chester, 6.2RSR, 21cm 40degree carbon. The 6.2 felt a lot better now that the cams and batterns are fixed.
