Second Creek, Tumby Bay, SA, AU

OES Outlaw 105, 8.6 Turbo, MFC KPR 40cm then Unifibre 36CM Weedy, 8-13kt NW with a very odd stonger gust that never lined up with the run along the sandbank.

Found time for a quick sail at this spot. It looks like NW is a good direction with a bit more W and some one that knows what their doing it could be good. They are only short runs 0.4nm maybe a bit longer in NW but might be able to stretch it out a bit further with a consistent WNW. And it would be a bit more down wind olong the bank with a WNW.

The only hazards are a few Razor fish around the place.

Hey Jimbob, 

It's something I wasn't expecting but a welcome suprise. I thought 7-7.5m might have been the limit.

A few more kt's of wind would have been good today everthing was comfy with nothing to on edge apart from the odd Razor fish scare.

I now have a one board quiver to take away on holidays. A couple of wave sails and a couple of other sails and all would be good. Sounds like a good plan anyway.

Just have get get it going a bit quicker with smaller gear. Probably has more to do with rider skill than anything else.
