Ezza (11865km):
2452 days ago 2 categories Super excellent day with a great gang at Lake George, SA, AU
2s with Vector delta WS 27. NM, hour, and alpha with XT-50 22.
Kind of wore myself out trying to hang onto the 7m too long earlier in the day. Its just too hard to sit on the beach and wait for the building wind! Started with the XT-50 22 and 114 which felt great in the weed. Dropped down to the 6.2/90 and the XT 18 but I kept spinning out at high speed which was so scary and completely wore me out. I think Im just too heavy and push too hard on that little fin. I tried to do a NM with it and I reckon I spun out for half of it. Then I tried the Vector and I could really push on it for the speed but if you slowed down in the weed it would stop and you could not get it going until you got out of the weed again. I never even tried to go through the real thick weed with it. I went over the front on one weed patch with it and put a decent crack on the nose of the 90. I then put the XT-50 22 on the 90 to try again for NM. It felt so grippy and easy to point on that setup for me. Really nice! Even though I was feeling exhausted I thought I could atleast start doing an hour and after following Andrew around I got a second wind and completed an hour. I'm so glad the forecast held and what a magic spot with great people. Watching Gary fly the drone chasing Dezza around the lake was another of the many highlights for the day!
