Well that was fun :) Hour of power.... or 3! At Sans Souci, NSW, AU

Good to sail with Cashew, Ferret, Baz, Mitch and a few others. 

Strong winds, the MauiSail 6.3 was feeling pretty big in some gusts, and pushed me under a few times when I was pinching too high upwind into a +10kt gust! Then small in the 10k lulls... pretty perfect most of the time :)

iSonic 90L slaps hard, but with the back foot deeper in (setup for small fins at primbee) was actually about 20% less painful if I railed it hard, slower but more comfortable. VMAX 32cm fin was awesome. 

Memorable Moments:

  • First run
  • 2nd run
  • last run, feeling drained, exhausted, and just wanted the 100km (Garmin said 102!)
  • Gybing around cashew holding a gopro
  • Chasing Baz and Ferret
  • Chasing the Maritime rescue boat down the bay for fun :)
  • Outhaul coming untied and stopping on the sandbar to re-tie it Felt like the edge of the map.
  • Colouring in the ocean
  • Gusts pushing so hard they flattened me and the sail
  • Surviving one of these massive gusts by cranking the boom ON!
  • Feeling overpowered in gusts and fixing it by sheeting IN! The extra speed, sail angle and rake angle made the sail release! So cool!

Good session!

Just saw the map.... that is NOT were I expected VMAX! Pretty sure I felt faster nearer the sand bars...
