Evan, you were flying I had to work hard to pull away from you.  That Atomic is a quick board.  Did you have the Tribal Powermax in it?

Hi Martin. The atomiq really seems to like those conditions, or maybe it was the PowerMax, or a combination of the both I'm not sure. I was trying to catch you but just could'nt quite match your speed. One thing I noticed with the powermax - if it lets go, which happened a few times yesterday, it's a bit trickier to get it to grip again but other than that, awesome fins, really like them.

That's awesome speed Evan, you looked rock solid ploughing through the chop yesterday. I had trouble keeping the Rocket flat. Nice alpha too!

Sounds like a great session boys and looks like you had your gear dialed in Evan! I finally got a decent se at merimbula yesterday and had a good sail otherwise I would be a tad jealous today. Back Saturday so will be good to sail Sunday with you guys

Evan, A couple of times I saw you behind me catching up and went,  " No way is he passing me!!!!" so put the hammer down.  Could slightly pull ahead of you but got a bit crazy a couple of times doing it, very airborne!!!!  You were going faster than normal so I think that Tribal fin has really upgraded the board.

I love the Powermax for the rough water on the bay, rock solid.  It is not as slipery as the Slalom but super secure.  I had one spin out when I was pushing really hard upwind on Starboard tack and launcehd, it spun on landing.  I agree it is a bit harder to pull back when it does let go but it doesn't happen often.

great sailing Evan 

i think the atom 100 is better in the chop , my atom 110 l it's great as long the chop is small , if chop gets bigger and i point the board downwind  “all  hell breaks lose” it goes faster and faster …  (i am still learning ) . up wind no problem.
