6.2 out of action so went on the 5m which was surprisingly powered up. Wind was about 20-25 knots and heaps of yachts out. tempted to stay out longer but want to save it for another day. Perfect day for windsurfing.

One of the better sessions at Melville, arrived early as the previous days wind would boot in early ease off and hopefully boot in for a second session after 3. Mission was to put the pointer fin to the test, solid 18kn in between the carpark and sand bank so went out to just do Alphas, kept gybing back and forth hitting 22 and 23's, one better than decent gust in the gybe arc and hit the 24, gybe speed only fell to 13.8 for 0.2 sec rest of the arc 14 and above, happy with that as the entry legs into and out never went above 27. Pointer fin made the differance. Tryed a few speed runs with the pointer felt super stable but by this time wind had eased off a bit.
Changed over to 28 WS to access the shallower areas but never got past 36knots on the runs, was nearly about to call it quits even slowie called it quits but by this time Ben just got back from Point Walter, happy chappy a +24 Alpha and a 36 2 sec. Ben I was only joking when I said I'd go out and get a 37 but as it would happen most of the sailors had gone in and called it quits so the water conditions was slightly dmoother, grovelled for a bit but could see a gust ahead, well this had a bit of a kick so a bearaway to the North of the bank, felt good peak 38.34. Pity the wind died as the water conditons were optimal for 40's today at that time, next time.
Great to catch up with Ricey and late in the day Andrew, sorry Ben but at least you piped me on the Alpha, great going fantastic day.

Thought I would try out my 80L RRD board since there were some strong gusts; but the lulls killed it. Was horrible.
Changed to 105 Rocket and it was so good being able to get through most of the lulls.

Good to see Boz and Ben

Well I missed the peak by letting Crimson Flash demo my 57 ....but all good ..he loved it and bought one.
I got a couple of gusts and a good Nm then it slowly dropped off and I hung around hoping for a second wind but it didn't happen.
