Kyeemagh, NSW, AU 5-18kt NE-ENE || 118 Manta, 7.0OD/8.4TR, 44/46 T-Lab

Sailed early but it didn't kick early like it has most other days of late. First hour bobbing around in jet ski chop, then it filled in a little for some planing over nice flat water by the runway.

Kyeemagh, NSW, AU

Exocet RS4 - Loftsails RB 7.8 - 39 fin

Another cruisy sail, a lot of E and gap between gusts, never turned to the NE really.

Patchy wind but still had a good session with mostly planning despite the lulls out at Kyeemagh, with very ENE (shifted to NE near the shark net/rock groin.

 

 

So I used my old Excoceet RS2 which had previously received my TLC. In comparison to the newer iSonic 90L, the old RS2 felt (and sounded) slow! I think I was under-finned with VMAX 33cm, should have slotted in a 36cm fin given the wider tail. I also should move the footstraps back one notch to release the board more. 

The advantage of a simple tail shape with extra width, gybing was easier and faster exits. Still glad I didn't bin it during the last council cleanup!

TRX 7.7 was a good size, handled the 20kt (22?) gusts easily, with the GPS peaking at 30kts! Job done.

All my fast stat's were on the same 3 consecutive runs.

I enjoyed some nice long runs, probably because  I was too scared to drop off the plane if I gybed into a LULL!

33cm fin definately sounds too small given what you guys were riding!

Ohh, forgot to mention, I "stubbed" my toe on my mast base, and fractured it! Dr said no sailing today, but maybe after a week.
