Coal Point, NSW, AU, Westerly 0-18 kts

Stingray, Whisperer and 6.5m

Pretty good sess with Tony and Sue. Bit of a tour around, some spots had no wind whatsoever.

Working on my alphas, but it felt really cold today and wasn't keen on risking falling in

Patchy  5-15kts WNW then 10-20kts plus W Coal Point, NSW, AU

7.5m GT Turbo - WT64 - 39cm C3 sting pointer

 then 7m M2 OD - 36cm Drake fin

To think I looked forward to this session all week..Undecided

I went out too early and wore myself out in the very patchy conditions.

Got a decent patch on the first run out and I thought it was coming in. I decided I needed to flex the tail a bit and move the mastfoot forward. Stopped at Wangi and did it.. of course the bleedin wind decided to go back to 5-12kts..Undecided Stopped at the other end and set it up for light winds..

Not a good day to get used to a new board..It was choppy enough to need to be in the straps but the wind wasn't consistent enough. I was sailing like a sack of spuds in defensive mode. Patches of 30cm triangular cross moguls at times..

It came in pretty strong just as I decided to go in for a rest.

 Rigged the 7m with a smaller fin and back out. Some of the strong bits were solid 20kts plus and I got going off the wind a bit. The board gave me a scare by rising right up in the air , once it came down the fin spun out..Bit of a confidence dampener..Undecided

 Went into the shallows and moved the mastfoot further forward ( it was in the middle)..I was a bit nervous.Things were ok after that although I didn't get another evil patch.

 Maybe too big a fin and the mastfoot too far back..mmm. I know others use a 33cm with that sail and board. I'm still trying to get used to the narrower longer  board. The wind wasn't consistent enough to really test things out..

I had the go pro on so hopefully I can see what happened.

 I wanted to sail till I dropped and I did..zzz hardwork

 Just me for the first hr odd then foilers Andrew and Tony out later.

Looking at the video the moment looks a bit like when someone is trying to get the set-up right for flying the fin but the board's too flighty..just before they lower the boom etc..
