Canton Beach, NSW, AU || 8-20kt WSW thru SSW || Exocet RS6, 7.8OD/10.0GA, 38 Demon/42JP

Based on the look of the forecast this morning, the gut instinct said it wouldn't be easy to find a good session today. Took a punt on Canton, and it paid off - sorta. Amongst the inconsistancy there were still a few nice long powered up runs.

Had the chance to further test some gear. The Tectonics Weed Demon has a great top end - even when fully powered up over the chop, but it's low end  not so great - lets go quite easily with the slightest of chop well before coming off the plane - at least in comparison to other weedies of similar size. It just needs consistant power, and it's a great performer. And it trucks up wind at will!

Spent the last few runs with the big Vapor - a nice safe testing ground to get more familiar with it before it goes back to Botany for the light NErs.

Cheers Matt. Plenty of weed but only out a few metres. Possible that it’s trying to make a comeback 🙏
