Flex (15724km):
947 days ago 1 categories Glory Holes, Australind, WA, AU. Arrived to no wind but Decrepit, Waricle, Ratz and BSN010 all rigging near the jetty so rigged 6.5. Today only brought small gear so thought I'd stuffed up. Once rigged wind came in and was well overpowered so changed down to 5.5. Was fairly choppy but then noticed Decrepit doing long NM runs so just shadowed him, was flatter back near the other launch spot. Tide/wind became optimal around 2ish but started dredging the fin so changed fin and board. Only second run on this board so took some getting used to, fiddled with foot strap positions and of course wind dropped off a bit but was still ok. The upwind ability of this combo was pretty good though so got carried away doing longer and longer runs as easy to get back and of course on last long run wind died and experienced chugging a full sinker upwind for the first time...at least it was do able but by the time I'd made it back to the car park I'd had enough. Rigged down and got into dry clothes and of course wind picked right back up, tide/chop low so looked good but only Waricle went out again but seemed to get smoked.

Stayed local and hit the safty pond as there was only 2 kites out.That changed after a couple of hours to way to many but kept you focused ;) Had plenty of power in the squalls on the 6.2NX,53 Patrick,20dws,25ws..Got stung by a cobbler that kept me entertained for the rest of the day but diminished any hopes of a 2nd session.
