sboardcrazy (24291km):
1255 days ago 2 categories 10-18kts then 15-20 then 18 - 24kts E Coal Point, NSW, AU
Sailed 11am - 3.30pm zzz I'm getting too old for this..
7m NCX- WT57 ( 90ltres) - 28cm WT weedy
then
5m gator - 57WT - 28cm
then 5m - 85ltre WT waveboard
It's Andrew's fault.. He said we should get out early in case it died..
I started out underpowered then progressed to fully powered on the 7m and I had some nice runs with Andrew. Got 24.85kts then - the chop was a bit messy ..
Came in and put the 5m on . I was a bit worried about being overfinned. I was underpowered at first which was nice as I was already buggered ( been out 3.30hrs). Then it got well powered and fun.
The wind kept building so I was getting maxed on the 5m and came in for the waveboard.. by now I was too buggered to get any gybes but had some fun runs..There were some nice ramps but I was too tired to do anything..some flatter sections between the chop now the windswells had built.
Got the 26.3kts on the WT57..
Any day over 26kts on the lake and I'm happy..I wish I was younger and fitter though.. Painkillers tonight..
Andrew & I then Gert , Len and Lajos - all fins except Andrew. It was nice to have some other windsurfers to sail with for once..
My gybes are RS. I suppose it's only my 2nd powered up go in the chop but I'll have to get used to the board in flatwater..I think I'm just ingraing bad habits..
