Great arvo sail after work on the i97 with new C3 Sting 34 fin and new for me 6.7 NP RS slalom, and new boom. Unfortunately all the new stuff too a lot of time to tune in, and it was fairly strong so I was feeling pretty tired from sailing unbalanced gear after only 15 minutes. I eventually got it there, and it eased off, and I actually enjoyed the last 30 minutes of about 15-20 knots the best as I was comfortable and in control. I probably carried a bit too much sail, but was not really overpowered much. Just not tuned in. Still, got some good speed, so happy with that. The C3 sting is so much better than the Drake Slalom pro. No spinouts today. Probably could have got some more speed on the 32 version I have, and had I been dialled in a bit earlier and not so tired, Glad I went out though!!
Good to see the Artur, Remi out there. Both flying as usual. I don't know how Remi goes so fast downwind through the middle of the Bay chop, but I have seen it for myself, and.... I turned up wind!!

Another really nice session. I think it's just that it's warm and the sunsets are pretty - the wind was kind of tough, big gusts and holes all over the place. I sailed until it was really quite dark - the water looks so cool at that time, very glassy. And as the wind had dropped off I was free to lie back in the harness and admire the patterns of my wake. Aaah.
Got to use my new sail, just one day after picking it up. The verdict - love it! Ok, so it was probably a tad on the small side for today, but it seems to have a lot of power for its size. And super light in the gybes, rotates like a wave sail.
Sorry not to stop on the beach to catch up with anyone - having too much fun zipping around!

Challenging gusty conditions, some nice downwind in the middle, more comfortable than going along the runway (or should I say down the stairs 2 steps at a time!). The soft feeling of these Mauisails was nice in these massive gusts.
