Short and sweet... Had 1 hour available, so I made the most of it, at Foreshore Rd, Botany, with Remi. 

Just the two of us. 

Remi just kept edging away from me on every run... frustrating but not unexpected since all his skills are > mine, oh and his gear is 3 yrs newer!

Respect mate!

TRXi 6.3 was underpowered most of the time, but a few gusts were interesting, and fully lit! Kept the nose down all but once.

Foreshore Rd, Botany, NSW, AU

Exocet RS2 - Loftsails RB 6.3 - 34 fin

What happened to the nuclear forecast!! Underdone the whole time. Sailed first hour or so with Berowne, had some good side by side runs along the run way, then Justin turned up powering through with his bigger kit.

iSonic 104L, NP 6.6 H2Racing. G10 42cm. Missed it by that much! Wind died just as I arrived so relied on a few gusts.

Budgewoi 18-30 wsw

RS2/ Koncept 6.6/ Delta 20 & JP69/ Koncept 5.8/ Fangi Fin 20, then cut to 18

Very shallow and a lot of floating weed everywhere, tried this aluminium fin for the first time it really trucks upwind but it was touching in the shallows and collecting some weed while trying to start, so i chopped the bottom 2 cm off and it made a difference with no adverse effect.

Berowne, it was ballistic wind @ Primbee but too much water to take advantage of it. Chop very confused and over 1 ft. I worked upwind to Windang overpowered on the 5.8, but no flat water there so headed in.

Wow, George you got that fin finished quickly!  Totally agree on lopping off the bottom 2cm if you are running in very shallow water Cool
