Sick_em_rex (12256km):
5469 days ago 2 categories Sandringham Botany Bay, southerly blowing between 5 knots one moment then 25 knot gusts the next. Used my Drops slalom, Falcon 29 fin and Koncept 5.8. The strip was nicely exposed but a tiny bit broad so the best angle was bearing away into some smallish chop at the end of the run. Had a couple of sphincter clenching moments on some runs, barely made a gybe in the rough stuff, found it easier just to drop into the water and turn around that way rather than risk catching a rail and going over the front like I did a couple of times.
Good to see some other team members out...of particular note was BossMan who I swear was doing an impersonation of the energiser Bunny. That guy is a friggin machine who just goes and goes and goes and damn the conditions... and he is so effortlessly fast!!! Anyway, today was a nice way to make up for the lack of wind last Sunday.
*Edit...Just realised I got 2 pb's today!!! Sweeeeeeeeeet
