M137 7.1m 35cm Tribal Sl2 Carbon! Finally some wind. Medium tide so could go everywhere. Got going late and spent some time grovelling as the change came through. Found one little gust to hit a 40 heading to kiter land- not over the shallows. Wind backed off until sunset and it started pissing down. Greg and Chris Porka stayed out until well after you could see the chop. Got some really fast runs out in the middle of the river. Was going by feel and not backing off since I couldnt see the chop. Hit a few 38s out there. Not overpowered but pretty stacked in the gusts I couldnt see. Really could only make out the other sailors when close and (probably) channel markers but with the heavy rain and darkness, no chance to see the chop until it was practically under the board- and at those speeds it was just grey blur! What you can't see can't slow you down!
