Simllar to yesterday but a bit lighter and patchy at 5 mile.
I decided to head down to the Spit. Easiest trip I've ever had as it kept pretty constant all day. It picked up a bit for tthe way back but never enough to be an issue.
On the way I decided to try for an hr. I hit bottom and catapulted on my first run over near the rock garden so I kept well out that side and there was a wind shadow over at the five mile side so the runs weren't as long as they could have been.
I've got old peoples disease and forgot what time I started plus I couldn't read the small type time on the GW60 so it was a bit of a guess.🙄😁.Hopefully I will get another go and do a better job!
I didn't drop a gybe but ran out of wind once when I went too far into Kevs bay area.
Wind was better down there and there were some good flat areas. I didn't go all the way as there looked to be less wind and the weed / bergs were pretty thick in places.
Called into Cockies for a chat and snack and then back which was easier than I expected. I'd done 50kms by now so after a rest I went up to the top to play in the glass.I got one powered up gust on about the last run to get the 2 sec.
I want to relearn the strap to strap gybe. I got my alpha PB doing one but have been doing step gybes ever since. I figure strap to strap will be better heree and on small gear and maybe get me a better alpha.
I've been avoiding trying any for fear I'd hurt myself but bit the bullet today and they were dry. Some pretty shoddy ones but dry.. I'm ok entering , flipping tthe rig but then when I change feet I upset the board trim.. Any tips much appreciated.
I would have liked to do more distance but both the wind and I ran out of puff.
Andrew , Nic , Chris and someone else this side. Daffy , Martin , Jill and Andy at Cockies and some people at the Spit.
