Coal Point, NSW, AU TR9 maui 8.4 and RS4 exocet v max 43, RS2 exocet , maui TR11 7.7 v max 35.

light just cruzing doging alot of yaughts most of the day. Must have been 4 30pm or 5pm the wind kicked in and I was super powered up with 8.4 so changed down to 7.7 and was powered up with that but wind didnt last long and it droped again.

Nice to sail with the new boards testing them out in that chop from the boats and they ate it up.

Good to sail with every one, I am stocked you love Remis RS4 Steve.

I even gave Steve Walsh a go on my new gear he sailed up on formula he looked sweet smoking around on a full planing jybe and hasnt been on a slalom board in years. You need to come back mate.

Exocet RS Formula, TR9 11.0, VMG M75 - Wind ENE 10 knots

Wind was a bit stronger than yesterday but the 2 hrs of yard work this morning took it out of me and couldnt really get in the groove.  Still ended up being a nice afternoon and my 8 yr old son tried his new harness today - hopefully the start of the path to getting him planing.  Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

10-18kts NE - NNE Peel st  Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU -

115 Xcross - 7.8m OD + 20 cm delta

then 7.8mOD - 89ltre Falcon + 20cm delta

then 7mOD + 115xcross + 38cms makani weedie

Fun sail! Was going to organise my partner to come and take photos but the forecast wasn't good enough  to bother. I wasn't expecting much but went out on the slower freemove big kit. Fun!

Decided to go for an hr but mainly sailing/ crabbing upwind , some off the plane and stopped to adjust my mast foot.Have to plan an hour one time and just reach on long runs.

Pretty consistent 10-14kts NE. Max 24.6kts on this combo so I decided to try the faster falcon.

Much faster..Tongue out  I'm proud of myself. I  decided to push myself a bit more and keep going rather than stop /rest / turn the board around. Out of about 50 gybes in the whole session I only muffed one. No fully planing ones but with that monster sail ( for me) I didn't expect to.

I can see why you guys are so good. Doing that many gybes in a session they started to get on auto mode.

Wind picked up and I was getting overpowered on the 7.8m so I decided to come in and change to the 7m. It was predicted to come up later. Bummer should have stayed out . I never check my trip meter but once in I realised I only needed another 6nm to get a PB. It was pretty late by now and everyone was saying it had swung more N and got gusty. Undecided I'd just changed down to  the 7m so I put a decent fin on and went back out in the chop for a few runs on the Xcross. Underpowered- but I got going in the puffs.They were fun! Tongue out

Late finish so home in the dark.

Pity I didn't know about the distance earlier as I could have just stayed out and got extra distance rather than wasting half an hr of the best wind rerigging..Undecided

 Milsy , Mick, Mat , Wayno, Pugs, Larko, Pete and assorted others.

Thanks Dezza!

Yes PJ I can do planing gybes in the flats but often whimp trying in the chop.. that's on the list for this season..go for it in the gusts rather than gybing in a lull..Undecided.. I was thinking when I was using the speed board that I should just go for more gybes as it's more tiring stopping, turning and restarting than just gybing through..

Great effort Sue.

We were down at The Entrance yesterday, (Non windsuring trip Frown) I would have estimated that it was a 20 kt+ NE at 6-7PM . Looking inland across Tuggerah lake it looked super strong. I was felt that I could have been missing out on a top session. Obviously wasm't as strong up at Peelie

A deliberate  ploy James to ensure I beat Mick in at least 1 catagory, then ended up with 2. Crossed the finish line and knew I had to go home, so kept going almost to Croudace Bay on a nice gust. Best part of the short afternoon.
