My first time at this location, and it was an eye-opener.

Managed to avoid using the trolley to get my gear in, after Premo produced a key to one of the gates 

Once I got in there the equation was pretty simple, as I only brought one board (Carbon Art 53) and my old 5.8 KA Koncept (17 years old, but still in good nick cos it gets used so rarely!).

Got on the water around 3:30, and it was brutally gusty.  Heading upwind I was either wallowing, or getting smashed by a 35K gust, so it was hard yards getting to the top of the run.

Persisted, and eventually I got on the end of a couple of good ones for the 2 second peak speed and a back-up peak of 38.5.

My peak speed found me a long way downwind of the launch spot, and after a 15 minute walk back upwind I was ready to call it.

So, only two proper runs, hence the average.

I can see the potential of this place, but today was not the day. Just too damn gusty to get settled, and hard yards getting upwind (I had a swim on every run, after sailing in to holes).

With a nice steady 30K it would've been all time. 

Still a fun adventure and it was good to share the desolation with some like minded crew!
