Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU - Exocet RS2/4 OD 6.7, 7.7 was very light on with a few gusts, wind turned SW and ruined it for everybody. Still good to be out on the water and hopefully Jeff will come back again.

Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

Falcon 113/RSS 6.7 Byron's delta 21?

First time at Budgie, new board and borrowed fin (thanks Byron). Rigged smaller than should have to help get to grips with the board, so was under powered for most of the day. This was more of problem than it would be elsewhere due to dragging along the bottom when off the plane. Struggled to make any ground up wind all day and did a lot of walking. Got pretty frustrated but on the few occasions I didn't manage to sabotage myself I had some good runs. I can see why everyone raves about this spot. Going fast (fast, for me anyway) on water this flat is surreal. Nothing to worry about except for body position and sail trim. Cant wait to get back, Lyds! Great to meet some of the local crew. Thanks to Frothie for the local knowledge.

exocet RS4, maui TR11 7.7, home made delta 22.

didnt happen was to light but at least it was sunny and cruzy sail all be it very underdone.

found out that double sided tape does not stick to  knead it so was carring weed under the fin all the time slowing it down and spining it out.fixed it with super glue but wind had gone by then.great bunch out hope for windy wendnesday.

Sounds like it was a pleasant day. yep Jeff the feeling of unzipping the glass is pretty hard to match! I'd love to try a modern falcon one day to see if they handle chop better than my 89ltre 2008 one..If they are easy and smootth to ride in chop they'd be hard to beat as they accelerate so well and top speed is great!

Lyds- Besides searching for the largest font possible. Trying to workout if I "need" an 8.6?

Sue - As soon as you are fit I will be happy to hand it over to you for a run.

By the time Sue gets healthy enough to sail again you would have wrecked the new board Mr Catapult :)
