Was on the water by 11am, a great turnout again, the wind stronger than yesterday but still not that consistant and it was a bit choppier to. But line up a gust and it was awesome. The NM run was at a good angle from the south end, it just took a few goes to get a full length run with wind.

Primbee, NSW, AU Westerly with a bit of S in it. Normal gusty wind up to 35 knots in the best gusts.

The day started off cold, wet & miserable but soon the weather cleared and I was on the water by about 10:30. The wind wasn't quite as strong as expected but the water was a bit higher than yesterday and the wind chop wasn't too bad. I was starting to get into the groove and snagged a lucky NM, but then I hit something submerged and cracked the deck of my board - doh! Sounded like the bang when you break a mast!

Not sure what I hit - no nicks or dents in  the fin - maybe the Loch Illawarra Monster! The long walk back home was painful but I was keen to not get too much water in the board. A MT repair job I think!!

I went back out after lunch on the little board but the wind had largely departed by that stage. The couple of squirts on the W44 were great! I suppose I will have to use this board some more until the W49 is repaired.

Great to sail with the Speedsters + Rick + Gustbusters, and good to meet SeaSkip.

Primbee, NSW, AU    I used the 81l JP SL and was never in control, hanging out too far, tried the old F2 axxis 258

                              which put me over the fin and much better,  some big SW gusts today, 34kts max on the meter.

Second day on the water so thats a win right off the bat. Not what i was hoping for in the 2 sec department but, 40 is just a number man! (opens a beer). Just as i was getting comfy with a couple of changes the wind died. Suprised to see the NM, bonus! Big suprise considering I'm pretty sure I spent part of that run skipping on my butt lol. Condolences on the board Bushy  at least you're ok! There's been some carnage the year, 2 boards 2 booms 2 masts just off the top of my head. Lets hope thats the last of it, but not likely 

Great to see another great turn out.

No chance we could get on the water again tomorrow too????

Sorry to hear about your board Bushy, wonder if if it was the same Loch Illawarra monster that snapped my board. Gotta agree with you mate, just give it to MT he'll make it faster.
