RS4 (111L) Reflex 7.0/7.8 Vmax 37

Started off before lunch light, underpowered on the 7M. Switched to the 7.8 and still not really powered. Took a ride downwind into Croudace Bay and had a couple of nice runs before coming face to face with a very large shark which, I thought for a brief moment, must have been a whale. Such was its girth and black color. The dorsal fin was about the size and shape of a Formula fin (50-70cm). I couldn't believe my eyes. This thing was a colossus. (Probably a Hammerhead of at least 4m). I was about a kilometer downwind from home and made ground upwind like never before. My head is still spinning. Crazy!

Told you that you would beat me in all 6, caught me on my sick bed 😷 even your shark sighting was bigger- so if it’s a shark but big as a whale it must have been a whale shark 🦈😜
