Fun arvo playing in the waves with the tea baggers, had planed to take the 6.7 and Isonic out but i was getting blown off the water with the 5.2 so canned the idea of the speedy stuff and had fun jumping for a change.
Used a Charge 5.2 and Starboard Kombat 94.

Only a short sail but one of the best days fun wise for a long time
Got to the beach and craped myself, wind was howling and the water was horrendous. Rigged my smallest sail with a knot in my guts, Doc Serg rolled up and I thought goodie untill he told me he was not trained in trauma and did a bolt to Yorkey's looking for easier fields, bastard. It was hell trying to get my gear to the water, wouldn't stay put on the beach, first run was murder, kept going arse up and nearly gave it away as a joke. But thought F it grow some balls and had another go, bigger balls made the diff, was still very trying as the only direction not too fast was smack into the swells which were the biggest steepest I have seen at Holloways, so lots of big air (for me) and more time in the water than a half dead duck. Wind did ease off making it a lot easier for me but still in the water a fair bit, didn't have a real go speed wise, not that stupid. Got the mother of all rain squalls at 3.15 and was flattened which rooted me so gave it away.
Oh yeh, nearly got my first back loop, all the way around but arse up on the landing, don't tell James at CA
CA SL58, 30 Venom, 5.8 Switchblade with max downhaul, boardies and my helmet.

Great session on Double IS cut short by a collision with something hard on the bottom at ~ 36 knots.
Fin box/Fin Destroyed harness ripped completely off my body (but in tact ) -AHHRRRr
Combination was smoking until that point -loving this board /fin/sail combo
The maui ultra slalom was rock solid today
Managed to grovel back into shore way down wind where the lovely Catherine collected me -saved a 2klm walk .
James to the rescue I'm hoping !!
