Hardcore session with Ben incoming swell and sandbars and short runs didn't make it easier.

Started of a bit bad when i looked in my mastbag and noticed i forgot my 370 mast so couldn't rig 5,5 and had to rig my 5,8 wich was to big. Had to let go of some gusts because it was just too much and couldn't keep it on the water. Think i could have done a lot better on 5,5 the gust got way past 50.Also had a crash because my fin hit the beach didn't wreck anything but my confidence. At times we had to stop because of to much chop. But had a good time thanks for the pictures Sebastien.

Hope i can get Ben's track out of the GPS which is a bit moist :)

A fun day sailing in La Franqi with Hans . very gusty and wind was changing direction a lot . Also the last onshore storm did no good to the coast line but all in all not a bad session .

Sailed on the new 5.6 Racing blade for the 1st time in speed and it was feeling great this sail has a lot of potential , very easy to sail lots of comfort and handeled the gusts very well !! Also sailed for the 1st time on this board with the vector fins delta speed 20 wich was actually very nice and super safe even in the mega gusty shifty conditions we had .

Thanks hans for saving my GPS track .
