Cottesloe, WA, AU

Friday afternoon session at dutchies, JJ, Neil, Lindsy and John the usual mob all having a play in the up and down conditions, late sail till sunset as the wind kicked back in around 5ish for a nice hour cruise on my own as most of the others had packed up when the wind died at 4;30 but came back to give me a nice sail till the sun went down.

Cottesloe, WA

Foiling for an hour at 2pm in a sweet 18 knot seabreeeze, then a 5 min grovel on the slalom board as the wind dropped out and back to foiling in 12 knots.

Awesome fun for late April

Pinnaroo Point, WA, AU

Underpowered sesh at Pinnaroo.

It was fresh when I arrived just after 3 (19-23K on the Ocean Reef graph), so I rigged the M112 + 7.6 TR9 + 33 Tribal WS combo.

It was already backing off when I got on the water, and dropped to around 15-16K and swung South after 30 minutes or so.  I grabbed the M137 + 42 VSW for a run, but still no joy.  The 9.0 would've done the job, but it was almost 5 and too late to re-rig.

Oh well I guess we have to take what we can get at this time of year
