3773 days ago First time at Waquoit Bay. Had hoped for a long day at Kalmus since the forecast looked great, but it just did not happen. Arrived to some white caps, which completely disappeared by the time I had rigged. The wind at Kalmus stayed around 10 for the rest of the day. I hate decoupling! The Waquoit Bay showed wind around 20, so Nina, Drew, Jason & I decided to go there - first time for all of us. Jason did not make it through the dirt road and decided to around, but three of us arrived to some good wind. I hit the water first on my freestyle board. Nice power, so I got the 117l slalom board to go for an hour. Got one half-decent run, then the wind dropped. Fooled around a bit longer, got a few marginal planing runs, but nothing good. Even on the best run, I did not have enough power to go deep downwind.
Still, a new spot sailed on a warm and sunny day, so I'm happy. I know understand that Nikita goes there for freestyle - flat and shallow for quite a while. I think the spot has decent speed potential. Hope to prove this soon - it's getting too chilly for freestyle (at least for me - don't ask Nina!).
