Nice day!

WSW to SW, 18-25 knots.

Slalom board: IS87, KA Koncept 2014 6.2m, Lessacher Duo Rake 30 28cm

Speed board: IS50, KA Koncept 2014 5.4m, MXR Sym 22 widebase

The slalom and 6.2 was right in its sweetspot. Speed runs only a couple of knots less than the speed board! Lots of fun and great to find that the 2014 6.2m Koncept is as good at the rest of the 2014 range! I rigged it on 230 RDM and it was really good! Last years 6.2m was my favourite but this one is even better!!!

When the wind seemed to fill in a bit, I rigged my 2014 5.4m Koncept on my 4m RDM and took it for a run on the old speed board with a large 22cm symmetrical widebase MXR fin. A bit hard to get started in the shadow of the big dune but once in the clean air it was great fun. Far from 100% powered up but felt very smooth and light in the hands. If anything the large fin was holding back top speeds but also making it a lot easier to get going and get back upwind so a good tradeoff.

Went back to the slalom board for another blast and still right in the sweet spot for this setup. Had a ball!

It been a while since I have had a 4hr session!

Fun summer cruising day with Daffy and Mal and a few other bods. Quite warm and mostly sunny, yet Melbourne apparently was overcast and rained quite a lot. Funny how often that happens...

Just enough wind at the start for my slalom board and 6.4m Koncept. Once the wind picked up a little I rigged a 5.8m Koncept and sailed in on my 52L speed board for the rest of the day. I wanted to get some decent time just cruising around on my speed board, getting used to gybing it etc - effectively sailing it around like a small slalom board. Didn't even bother to check my speeds all day... There was enough wind not to get skunked as long as I stayed clear of the ever growing dunes at the top of the run.

Bit of a sail on the KA/ Cheeky Monkey 111 and KARace 7.1 Proto.  First time I had used the board in really rough messy WSW PPB conditions and it was very good.  The sail rocks.
