Stephen (4676km):
997 days ago Cold session, Ackerstern St - Nelson
Took the speed board out late morning as forecast was for wind to build during the day (Models were indicating 35+) , I got a few runs over a 1hour period but the wind was 25 max making it hard work. Switched to the Falcon 79 at low tide (more chop with incoming tide) but the wind just kept dropping....like below 5knots. I parked the gear on a sand bank and went for a run to warm up and to fill in time while hoping for the wind to come back. It came back to 15-20knots and I could get on the plane but after while I just got too cold. Air temp was 7 degrees when I first went out, got a bit warmer when the front started coming through.
KA5.4, W49 & FF79, Tribal 19.5 and 27.
Oh and its blowing 35+ out there now at 8pm
