sboardcrazy (25875km):
352 days ago 10-15kts then 10-18kts SSW-S The Spit Lake George, SA, AU- sail no 5
6.5m Turbo- RS4 ( 112ltres) - 24cms Atomic
and RS2 - (90ltres) - 22cms Atomic
17 degrees and overcast brr. Alternated between the 2 boards. Gybe practise day.
Used the slalomboards today as the chop was only about 5"high. They are more forgiving to gybe than the longer narrower WT but the practise on the WT is helping me on the slalomboards.
Nic took some photos which helped me analyse how to improve. Thanks Nic!
Wore myself out doing gybes..It finally came in at 2.30pm after I'd been sailing for 2.30hrs and I was really buggered. I only stayed out for 30mins as I was an accident waiting to happen.
I need to work on my entry speed.
Hopefully, by the end of the trip , I will be able to gybe well in small chop.
Andrew , Dizzy , Ian , Dan , and assorted others.
I'll sleep well tonight..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
