Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU. CA92, loft 5.6, 18ff. I shouldn't have stirred Sue up yesterday. Think she's come out swinging today and smashed me. 
It's a PB for me . But i was looking for more, so i'm only semi happy about the results.
But i'm super happy just to be out there doing it. All that is winter sailing, i like.
Reluctant at first to try gybes, but later very happy to do some and avoid the hard start off shallow. 
Nice to meet Baz and Luke here, lots of good company here again.

10-25kts WNW level 0.29 Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

 6.2m M2 OD - Rs1 ( 80ltre) - 16.5cm FF ( cutdown 22cms) 

 then 5.5m Mach 2

 yeehaa!! 

 My best speed this year and a board PB.

I'm still  bouncing up and down. 

 What a difference a fin makes. The FF isn't as fast as an Atomic but the depth was good and it sticks like glue in chop so I was game to go for it..

 Went out with the 6.2m and it was a bit patchy but very powered in the gusts. Went for quite a few 'suicidal feeling runs but couldn't get over 29.4kts.. Got fllattened by a big gust while I was trying to waterstart in the shallows so I came in and changed down to the 5.5m.

 Decided to try for a nm but was pinching up to avoid weedbergs. Got some strong stuff as I neared the end and the flats and went for it. It felt like the board got lifted out the water but then back down and accelerated. A 6 Scream run..

Only had energy for one more but the flat areas was smaller and I got 33.6kts..very happy..

 No gybes too patchy - under or over at 1st and too tired by the time I had the right gear on.
