Looking forward to tomorrow, beers now!

Epic day!

Great to be out amongst it with Jacques, Ash, Dale and Roh, plus some other locals.

A bit challenging at times and got smashed a bit in the gusts. Probably made some bad fin and board choices in the two morning sessions. Crashed like a *&%$^ when I lost fin traction but no serious damage. 

Jaqcues, then Ash gave some good advice on fin choice and I was way more comfortable on the last session. Thankls guys that really helped.  But had run out of puff at the end and had to give it in.

97L Falcon + 6.2 Severne and 14 tribal delta. Then changed to 80L Falcon and 16cm delta. Then changed to 5.5 sail. Then changed to 5.0 sail and 80L Falcon with 16cm speed weed. Felt really good as a set up but was pretty knackered by that time.  

Good times!

Went out as the gusts started to come across the lake hoping for some fun runs while it was still calm and flat, but wind turned ugly very quickly, came in and rerigged the 5,0 and small board, but the looks on peoples faces coming in helped me decide to appoint myself as todays photographer and first aid officer, Bob had a very nasty cut between 2 toes, but I wrapped him up in bandages and duct tape, hopefully he'll be back for another day

5.5/55w/17

ps scariest drive home ever

well done to all the other team members some good numbers there.

For me started off on 7m m3 and 97l isonic good at first but became too much as the wind increased.

got smashed and struggled to keep sail up right to get back.

went out on 5.5m m2 and 90l speed board. tried to follow others over banks but just that bit to shallow. 25cm weedy. 

same ok at first then smashed again too much for the 5.5m and stuggled getting back.

probably should have gone out again with others when tide came up but but cold and tied.
