Nelson Haven - mid to low tide. NW 20-30knots. 

Great session but gutted I didn't go far enough up wind to get the full NM down  it was best run as it was my first before I got tired (500m was 31knots)  Lesson learned for next time.  

The local crew were all watching on the beach and missed out on a fun session before the wind died.

Great battle on the Estuary in the NW today. Very gusty with some huge gusts rolling through well over 40knts. I was barely able to keep board on water in some gusts. 

The wind switched from NW to SW and i was lucky to be over on Scott park side and got some awesome runs infront of the shops. 

My watch showed a peak speed of 39knts, but I guess with it so choppy and gusty was hard to hold for 2 secs.

Love sailing in these tough conditions learn so much about how to handle your gear.
