hmm that was interesting. 5.6m (yeeeehar) 91 spw25. Scared myself today. Got a nice gust and gave it some... and then hit some cross chop at full tilt- got airborne powered up downwind, landed into spinout... bounced off next chop airborne again... landed more sideways and grabbed rail... which straightened the board enough to keep going for a few seconds before repeat. Checked pants. Thought that was a waste of gust. Look at GPS and it was my fastest run for the day (incl 2 full launches and near-crash experiences). That made my mind up to stop. Too dangerous.
Good to catch up with the crew (at a distance of course) and recharge some strong wind adrenaline batteries...
