JP Slalom 84 NP RS Slalom II 5.8 chamelion 24, love that fin
Wind angle was all over the shop and current was flowing pretty strong too which would lead to the outer sandbar suddenly appearing dead flat a speed sailors dream sort of flat in front of you, then all of a sudden the swell would build and a 3 foot tall wall of white water would leave you with about 1 second to react to avoid it whilst accellerating through 30 knot mark
Finished with a dinged deck thanks to the lever on my ratchet extension digging into it and a splitting headache from one of my encounters with the wall of white water
was really getting things sorted when the deck dinged so a bit unhappy

6028 days ago Not a good session. All by myself (boo hoo) left my helmet at home, high tide, choppy and gusty.
Didn't realise I had no helmet until I had rigged, didn't want to leave gear by itself, couldn't be bothered downrigging, went out wothout helmet on, felt naked!!!!!
Had one run, spun out, just managed to stop digging leeward rail, decided my wife is too young to be a widow, packed up and came home.
