Windxtasy (14561km):
2 days ago Coodanup iS107 7mK, 33 WS mostly 6 - 8 kn, with spurts of 10 - 14 kn
I plodded with no planing at an average speed of 4.4 kn for the first half hour, just getting used to the new board. The 10 - 14 kn spurts that had been apparent on arrival and while rigging disappeared. Later there was just enough wind to plane, and my hour average improved to 8.3 kn. The wind was filling in just when I had to go, and Waricle and Gloria got the best of it. They sensibly waited until I started planing before they headed out.
I do like the new board. Very stable in light wind and planes early at 8 - 9 kn of board speed. Looking forward to trying it in a bit more wind.
