Forecast was wild, but ended up being a pretty good foiling day.   Some big lulls but great in the gusts.   Fun to catch up with a bunch of other foilers and formula crew.   Was going to try out my new starboard race but needs a bit of sanding to fit in the fin box.  Next time.   Thanks to Jeff and Muz for running the boat and to Bushfire for organising the whole series.

15-22kts SE 3mile Lake George, SA, AU

6.2m M2  OD - 87ltre iso - 21.5cm FF ( cutdown 24) for hr attempt

6.2m - 80iso-18cm tribal delta for the rest

Well I suppose it's not bad for a first day but I'm disapointed in the alpha. I suppose I knew the better gybes were too wide. Hoped for a better hr but I was underpowered and having trouble staying in place . Considering I was mostly sitting on 20kts it's ok..

A nice gentle inttro to the lake. I was pretty nervous so went out really early . Not enough and slogged around for the first 3/4hrs..Started to get a few gusts and get going but came in for something to eat and a drink.

Pretty buggered from the trip down and my eyeballs were hagning out of my head after the first 15mins..I've lost the knack of getting upwind with little fins but I think there just wasn't enough wind. There was bettr wind higher up but I couldn't get there.

I'd done 50kms by the time I finished the hr attempt. By the end I was absolutely buggered and getting overpowered in the gusts but I was determined to attempt the gybes so I had some interesting stacks. I just didn't have the energy! Undecided 

Nice to enjoy planing gybes again . They need some refining but they were fun!

Tried to get up higher later and tried a few bearaways but just not enough wind. Did on at 3 mile on the way back and got 24kts .. wow..Undecided

Obviously got to learn where the best spots are.

I would have liked to get a few more kms but I was pretty buggered and wanted to leave a bit in the tank for later.

 Heaps out but plenty of room.

 Ugh I hate laptops!!!Yell
