Short morning session with gusty bora wind. I know that 37+ knots is pretty good speed for Adriatic Coast, but I feel I could make better speed today if I had more luck. I catched just one decent gust on the downwind run, but plenty of strong gusts on the opposite tack while pointing back ! Once the huge gust came and lifted all the dirt and salt (from the salt plant) in the air, and I was so stupid that I did not make a quick tack and catched that one. I was so amazed by the scene of huge dirt cloud that I did not even think about catching it. I am sorry now because it never came back
Next time maybe...I feel that 40+ knots is possible in Adriatic coast. Especially with this "small" gear. I had so much control thru chop and in gusts. Everything works just perfect! Small Sting is so easy and predictable, Loft works great with new CarbonTech proto mast, and I guess that Falcon from 2007 is still a good board!
