Kurnell, for a quick blast. All alone, random kiter too shy to go past the 100m mark. To be fair it was pretty light! 

10 to 15kts of wind, so pretty happy with 22.4 peak speed! Lulls about 5 or 7 knots.

Now given the wind was 10kts +-5 I should have rigged for light wind race with a 10.0 and 1m wide foil... 

But instead... I rigged a 7.7 sail and medium slalom foil... so much more fun! Cool

FMX 91 solid base as always

Loft Racing Blade 7.7 slalom sail rigged on 10cm too long MDM Slake mast. Rotated like a dream! But I really felt like some presssure was escaping out under the masive hole at the foot! Sail was good in the gusts... but I could probably have held a 9.0 instead. 

F4 620 front wing was good in the gusts but a bit small in the gybes and lulls. Swapped to the 850 after a while as the wind faded. Much better lift and lower minimum speed, but still took a massive effort to get flying. 210 rear but I wonder if the larger tail wing could have helped. 

No catapults. Tongue out but a few stuffed gybes.... including a massive over the handle bars, roll, and slide from boom to 2nd batten... weeeeeeee.
