Tabou Rocket Wide 128L NP RSR E6 7.8m Elmo SS 45cm

Best estuarty session ever (In memory this year)

Can't believe could Huey finally have forgiven me or is he just lulling me into a false sense of secretary, I don't care either way I'll take it.

Hit the water at 1630 and the wind hung in there, got a couple of nice runs out to the platform and back with no dramas except of a bad case of gumby gybing.

A bit of tuning and some nice runs out to the chanel marker and back.

Much to my surprise and bliss a thoroughly enjoyable session.

A top 1 Muppet day

          CoodanupWa,     

 Was hoping for a bit more as I gave it a miss yesterday, and went with the old muffin 40cm wide cutaway board and ka kon5.8 with delta slal19.

Things went well allround, lotsa flat and smooth and well pleased with the combo, so canot wait to try it outin some stronger wind.

    LOTSA FUN    Smile

Yee friggen haa, so happy my wife's getting scared Wink

What a difference a day makes, spent my pention money on a new Franga Fin and got the very helpful Decrepit to massage the fin into the mighty CA. Waited for the call to arms and shot down to Franaland, wind was light on but I was keen as, should have gone for the 7.5 but loving my new 6.6. Did a few down winders but spent most of the time chassing Stroppo who was going for an hr till his harness bar gave way, stainless steel can only take so much Laughing Anyway was happy to just go back and forth in the smoothest of water, I did think of you Snags in a non gay way, I honestly didn't think smooth water could be that much fun and in lightish wind at that. If I thought that was good I got a big surprise on the run back to base, I actually found the holy grail of speed sailing, water smoother than my wifes arse when she was 17, don't tell her mum. Not a bloody ripple, just mirror smooth, my board was just making a wooshing sound, that's a new one Surprised

Anyone who truly knows me knows I'm crap at corners, I just beat my best corner by a knot, I'm still crap but what a difference in the flat, yay.

CA SL58, Franga 22, KA Koncept 6.6, boardies, Pb, great crew and beers at sunset, that's a GD, great day Cool

A Firie intiation day, got his delts fitting in the Carbon art this morning, lead him out into the smooth this arvo. Took him a while to find the smooth though, he thought he was in the smooth when he was only in the flat.

But I think we have a new convert/addict!

Pity there wasn't a bit more wind, probably 15kt average, any way it was a fun Fangy day, not a huge amount of real smooth, but enough to give Firie a good taste.

I rigged the 6.6 and plugged into 53 with 20cm 50deg weedy.

Fin ubelievably went for the ex muffin witha 5.8, I expected to see him spending most of his time wallowing, but every time I saw him he was flying.

 

And here's the xperia's take on today's procedings.

2s 29.887, 5x10 28.565, 1hr 15.040, alpha 21.901, NM 26.323, distance 34.69

Firie,

Congrats on the alpha pb - brilliant.  Looks like you've been hooked by the waters of Fangland.  Don't worry, I too was thinking about you sailing there whilst  punching my way through the chop yesterday.

Btw how'd you initially find the fin (delta I assume)?

Thanks boys and girls, Benny I'm still crap. Snags the Delta is the strangest fin you'll ever see but is a necessary evil here, I found that out Wednesday, it works Smile

Good to see you had a good one Red one Cool

Gaz it's a suprise, who'd ever think I get a good corner, glass flat water helps. Good day Sunday, my 2nd best in Hr, Alpha, Nm and 5th best distance.

I'm still easy to recognise, red board and boardies. The orange on red does look great, I think your KA's whould look a treat on your new orange weapon.
