10-15kts then 10-15/18kts SSW level 0.41m

Sailed 11 - 1 with break to change boards. 

6.5m Turbo - Rs4 - 21.5cms FF ( cutdown 24)

 then 6.5m on Ca95ltre - 16.5cms Pepe fin

 Pleasant sunny practise day.

After the last horrible session I just wanted a session where I could link some gybes and have fun. Tick.

I probably could have had the 7.2m up at 1st but it has no bottom end so I went with the 6.5m with the plan to change boards.

 1st session 40mins.Mitch and I.

I worked my way up to the pole for a few gybes. Only one underpowered bearaway coming in ( 24kts).

 It started to come up a bit so I played it safe and came in.

2nd session - I'd been dreading trying the CA . It's long and narrow and I didn't think I'd be able to gybe it.

 I was super surprised to fly in and out of the 1st gybe.. 

It keeps speed better than my other boards and is super easy to gybe..

I wasn't much good at getting upwind as I only had the 16.5cm in and I'm not used to the board.

I didn't want to lose ground so I just practiesd gybes.

Only one underpowered bearaway on the way in. Probably lucky as I don't know the combo yet.

The stance is a bit wide for my size but I'll just have to live with it.

 My boom head has needed shimming for about a year. Severne said it wouldn't break and gave me a shim but I've been too scared to try and take everything apart. It was really wobbly today so I'll have to find a way.

I was getting tired and I came in just as it started to get some decent gusts..Baz , Mitch , Jimmy and I out 

 Everyone else was going out as I packed up.

 Looking forward to the 1st time I get a powered bearaway in the flats..

 I finally made 28,000kms.. That's a lot at c 10-20kms a session..
