Coal Point, NSW, AU. Naish Foil 4.8 Hucker. The wind range of this setup is crazy. Started out 6-12 knots (maybe) and then picked up to at least 20knots. Satyed on the 4.8 the whole time despoie being massively over powered coming back down wind. Greg, Andy and Sue out as a rookie who looks better every time she goes out. Nice work Nicole. Great session all round.

A bit too strong for me with my new 7.0m foilglide and Supercruiser.

Coal Point, NSW, AU. Stingray Whisperer and 5.5m

12-20 Southerly. 

Followed Nic around for a bit, then had an easy cruise with Tony and Greg.

The wind gradually increased.

Sandy Point, Victoria, AU

JPHF 135 SB Foil Slalom config. SS7.0

Gusty WSW- 15-25kts (although it always feels windier here) Great to be back at "the Pit"  on a balmy 16 deg summers dayLaughing.Had a good session until it got too windy for the 7.0. Impossible to get comfy on the foil due to the direction shifts and just gave up in the end. On my own initially until Daffy and the crew turned up, looking great on their nice new KA sails. Happy with 500m PB.

Coal Point, NSW, AU

Caveman 75, Retro 6.5

Some of my distance PB was walking back to the start point while Andrew sailed my board back.  Does that still count?  Andrew says its embarassing to have a distance PB less than 10km anyway.  I will get >10 when i get some sailing stamina (and skills)

10-18kts SSW then 18-24kts S Coal Point, NSW, AU

7.5m Turbo- WT65 ( 112ltres) - 35cm tectonics weed demon

 then 5m gator - WT85ltre waveboard- 20cm centre fin

 I should have believed the forecast and gone out later..Undecided

 A bit patchy at times at first but I got about 3/4hrs where I was consistently planing. More gybes than usual and I'm pretty happy with them. Nothing amazing but I didn't drop any and they are feeling better. Just Nic and I and one other sailor??

First use of the new turbo and a  test of the impact vest..Sealed

Headed over to LMYC as the wind was better and it was a little flatter. It really kicked in as I arrived..Frown I thought it was just the usual stronger in Belmont Bay thingy at first. Stopped for a rest and screwed  about 85% tail flex in to depower the fin. I was worried it would take over..

 I managed to survive the first bit by crouching my weight on the rail and not sheeting the sail in much..It was patchier across near Coal but still very strong . The S had just arrived..Undecided

The boards have never given me a minutes worry so I didn't take enough precautions as I hit a 1.2m ramp. The wind got the board and launched it and I was catapulted around the front into the sail.. Ow..

 My first thought was "NOOO! My new sail!!!Frown..the window will be trashed.." Phew no damage..Cool..I got my first use of the vest as my ribs copped the boom again..I suppose it must have helped but they are still pretty sore.The same spot that got damaged in Feb at Lake George..Yell

Andrew , Tony - Greg all foiling and came in about now.

 Got in and had a bite to eat.  I was injured so I rigged the small sail and wavegear for comfort rather than speed. I was the only one out and 

I didn't last long as I need to almost go into catapult stance to get it going and I wasn't very keen on trying that and risking another stack..Luckily the wind was strong enough to just head it off the wind with my front foot and power the sail to go..I tried a few jumps but spun out on landing. I was getting very powered up in messy conditions and I didn't want to risk another injury so I called it a day.

 I hope the ribs don't take too long to mend..Frown

I was trying to see where you had got to Nic . I was hoping Andrew had an eye on you. Not the easiest of conditions today.

Nic don’t listen to Andrew, no PB is embarrassing, soon you’ll be taking his speed board out for a spin. Nice 500 pb too Boston, the foil will be clearing the pit sharks out of the way. Merry Christmas to the lake Mac team

Well done, Nic! Thanks Sue, Im fortunate that I married a lady from this area and get to come here all the time (except when global catastrophes prevent) Cheers Tony, its just the GTR+ combo with a 550 front wing instead of the 800. (i cant say its that much faster but easier to handle in overpowered conditions) Merry Christmas Dezza to you and yours, and to all!!
