AlfaMale (19049km):
2290 days ago Another sail at Primbee, another sub-40kt session.
Although, to be fair, it was possible today. I had a couple of flat runs behind a wall of weed making a nice sea wall but just didn't line up on the right gust (or level of commitment). Detlev was on-fire doing 40 out of the harness (too bumpy!) and a 41 earlier, but he looked on the ragged edge!
Looking at GSPRealSpeed, I had 40kts for 1 second,... before adjustig for errors!
Great day... left home about 7, on the water 8:20 and had a blast with Det, Stu and Eckers until the rest of the carpark filled up. Heaps out!
Started off on the speed needle 60L Naish, 23cm MauiFins Spweedie and new (ish) TRXI 5.5.
I wore through a harness line by 10:30 so swapped up for the same fin in 90L iSonic which was too small, but the water was so low I was reluctant to use the 27cm fin, and I'm not a fan of the original Delta I Have either!. 6.3 was good, teasing 40 on a couple of runs, but also spinning out in the weed at 30+, which is not... fun.
Few catapults in the shallows, thankfully upwind after slowing down, circa 20kts. 1 stack I landed on my gopro sitting in my vest pocket, and brused a rib. All my muscles are sore, and I had to stop at the rest station at the top of bulli for a nanna nap.
