Mungo Brush, NSW, AU. Flying thong lovin. Formula 160, 7.5, 60cm rsx. Just powered enough. Lovely cruising long runs across the lake.
Could have went all day, but clouds came and threatened more storm.

Had company of a windfoiler intermediate - he got smoked Laughing

Patchy 5kts with patches of 8 - 12kts SSE Marmong

4th attempt at winging. 5m matador- 130ltre F 0ne- 1800 / 330

Gert said it was like a patchy W but it was the best wind I've had so far. I didn't like the look of it as there was more chop than Teralba with 5kts at the launch and a couple of better patches occasionally. I didn't think I'd be able to stand but I went ok.

Managed to stand on both tacks so long as there was enough wind to power the wing a bit to help me. After about 15mins of falling in I wasn't as good but I tried some longer runs and was enthused enough to want to have a go when the wind came in.

 Wing control need work but I've worked out how to avoid the wing catching in the water. A few Youtube videos have been helpful.

 No foiling yet and my wing control needs improvement. I'm getting there slowly.

Garmin  2 sec 5.3kts - distance 4.47kms. I'm getting a good workout scrambling on all the time.Undecided

 Paul on the windfoil , Gert , Kath on wings and another guy who was less advanced than me which was surprising. The IQ foilers were amazing..many dinghies , wings , windfoils racing.

Yes Sue, got a a go in the end. Stoked. Good to have more power than yesterday and be planing.
4.5k for you learning on the wing seems decent.
