George's river - Botany, NSW, AU || 5-12 knts WSW

Stingray Foil 140/ Koyote 6.6/ Naish 1400 wing high aspect

Very marginal , was flying about 50% of the time. Tried the High aspect 1400 wing and stab for the first time, it flies almost as easily as the 1570, feels really smooth and seems a bit faster.

naish 1400

Well that hurts... emotionally! I knew it was only a matter of time, but turns out today was the day. 

Tearing along on a reach, fully commited to the harness (I remember felling the weight through my back as I accelerated, thinking wow this is fast!) and all was fine, until it wasn't. I unhooked to gybe, and flew up and over without a free second to adjust! BAM. I hurd the tearing sound and knew it was bad news...

But I don't blame the one incident... I had about 10 bad gybes today too, trying to improve (and failing) Frown

Feel for you, Berowne. Did pretty much the same thing last weekend to my board (and not for the first time!). Thats what board repairers are for!
