Should've stayed in bed !!

Got to Primbee before first light. Bucketing rain. Water glassy at sunrise with not a breath of breeze. About to pull the pin when SW kicks in. Was just starting to enjoy things at 9am as it filled in a bit. Bang....... snapped boom arm. You jinxed me Eckers, all this talk about needing a carbon boom :)

Naish SP95, Loft RB 7.0, Unifiber Weed 26. Naish Alu Slalom Boom 180-230 (now deceased).

Dezza hitting the water as I left & Gerry in Kiting mode. Primbee, NSW, AU

Primbee - fabulous southerly - 20 - 25 knots

Feeling a bit left  out having seen Nudie cracking open all those beautiful evo 9s so i cracked open my new (second hand of course) North E type 6.6.

Loved it - rigged beautifully first time.

Fanatic Falcon 80, Black Project Weed Speed 25, North E Type 6.6.  Missed the peak of the wind by about half an hour but still an epic interlude to the windsurfing trailer build.

Primbee, NSW, AU   A bit late in posting but the GT31 battery run dry this arvo, maybe lost a few kms.

                              Pretty windy all day, choppy out in the middle because the wind was moving around

                               but super smooth behind the wharf, still some tree branches floating around.

                                You know Tabou 95l Rocket  NP 5.8 Evo6   A brand new 7m Evo9 would have looked good.

Primbee, NSW, AU

On the water late today after a day in Bowral, about 4:40pm in a fading southerly with unbelievable sun glare, just hoping there was nothing to hit because I wouldn't have seen it.

Never really powered up but still a good little sail.

7.0 evo7, Kenny, 35cm and 36cm carbon slalom fins.

Primbee, NSW, AU. Isonic 86L, SW 6.2m NX, BP31WS.

Quite a late start with the southerly looking relatively consistent but maybe in hindsight I should have gone with the bigger board and sail as there was a bit of floating involved particularly in the middle of the lake. I managed to hit that log you were telling me about Tezza but thankfully there was no damage done. Probably due to the solid reconstruction MT did on the old beast a couple of years backLaughing.

But luck Jet.  I'll bring my spare Maui Carbon Boom on Monday to get you back on the water.  I thought you might have been at Shoalhaven Heads.

Hope all is well Stu, keep safe and you missed a good day, more kiters than sailors and no foilers.
