First nice Easterly of the summer. Unfortunately I had to leave for a prior appointment at 1pm, just as the wind was nearing its peak.

Started with the 5.4m Koncept but was a bit underpowered at first, knowing the wind would build as usual. Tried for some Alphas and NM Alphas (NM with a gybe).

First couple of runs I tried a C3 Vector 30cm but didn't feel like I could push it. May have been too small for the board sail combo or may have been the weed it was catching. Stopped and fitted the Lessacher 20cm Duo Rake 30 and it was perfect.

Rigged the sail with a couple of cm less downhaul than Monday as the wind was marginal for this size. It still looked and felt great!

Wind 15-18 at start. 18-25 at the end.

Board IS87, Fin Lessacher Duo Rake30 28cm. Sail 2014 KA Koncept 5.4m on RDM mast.

Good easterly. Bit like dodgem cars on the east bank during the arvo.

A quick blast after work at 45. The Southerly @$%#$ used all the flat water up and just left me with lumps and bumps everywhere BUT I had a plan and a full inlet to explore. Didn,t find anything flat but there were some great swell lines worth chasing. Pretty happy with the speeds in the lumps. Bad luck boys piped by .1 of a kt I think Wink Very powered up on the 6.6 but felt very good Laughing
