Yay back on the water! ..looking forward to telling the dr I'm back sailing.. ( have to give it up..yeah right...)

Excocet RS4 - 7m NCX - 38 BP50 weedspeed 

 then 87ltre isonic with 20 BP50 weedspeed

 1st sail back after 2 months off with a shoulder inflammation so I took it easy. I was also getting used to 2 'new' boards and some fins..

 I've had the RS4 for a while but haven't had more than a few 200m spurts on it in crappy W's. Lovely to have something that's light and get's ok speed although it still feels like a cargo carrier for my weight off the wind in chop.. I'm not used to deeper fins so I didn't go up into the flats much or bear off. Stayed out in the ' choppier' bits.

Pretty rusty on the gybes at first and no arm muscles..I remember pre injury I used to think the 7m was SO light.. Now it feels heavy..

1st try of the isonic although I only had one run and an underpowered bearaway into the chop. Had a few issues with the nose diving subplaning . I have put on a few kilos so just thought that was the issue.. Came in and the mastfoot had slid right to the front..

No wonder the footstraps felt too far back . I kept stepping on them and closing them up and then couldn't get into them..Think I'll enjoy it once I've done some finetuning.

 Shoulder survived although aching at times.At least it didn't scream like it did a few months ago..
