sboardcrazy (24291km):
1199 days ago patchy 10/ 15-20kts then short period of 20kts plus - 24kts ENE Coal Point, NSW, AU
5.7m gator- WT57 ( 90ltres) - 28 WT weedy then 24 WT stealth weedy
Looked great when I was rigging but a bit patchy. Could have had the 7m on for a lot of it but it would have been a handful in the gusts. The 5.7m was great in the stronger stuff. Did a run past the jetty for some photos but it was too light in front of Coal so I went over to Swansea and above the point searching for wind..A bit underdone getting over towards Carey but some great nm runs back.. Got the 2 sec on one of those. It's a board PB for Lake Macquarie. That board should be faster than the WT64 but by the time I get powered on it the chop has built and you're bearing off over the back of waves.
Boy I love trying to go fast in chop..
I went in for a smaller fin to settle the board and back out but it had really kicked in so I just dropped into the water and turned the board around and had a seat of the pants run in..I took the sail off to rig the 5m but it died and got patchy so I called it a day.
About time we got some decent wind..Nick was out early and went really well. She even bore off a bit.. I was expecting a catapult but she looked well in control..
Craig , Lajos , Gert , Tony on the foil and then on the fin. Jason who is just getting back into it after a long break.Plus some guy on an electric foil.
