Marmong Point, NSW, AU

5 - 15kts then `12- 18kts E-ENE Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU level 0.35m

7.2m Moto - Rs4 ( 111ltres) - 24cms FF

 then 7.5m Turbo

Should have rigged bigger from the start but there has been more wind than the graph shows lately so I played it safe. Moto was good in the gusts but generally underdone.

 Stayed with the 7.2m for almost an hr then came in and changed up and the fun began!

 Some nice big glassy wavey areas early on but they disappeared as the wind came in. Still great fun aiming for them.

 The bigger board and sail are not as much fun to gybe.

 Came in as the 7.5m was getting too much. The storms to the W kept the wind down at 1st but it kicked in once they'd moved S.
