Jimmy's Beach, NSW, AU. McKee Hyper 87ltr. McKee Ocsla 63.5w 107ltr. You get that on the big jobs. A real dogs breakfast was made of it all as the front hit. I'd spoken to Mitch over the other side and he was thinking 6.2 so I chucked the 5.6 in. Rigged 6.5 and OCSLA then got blown away and all covered in sand. Rigged 5.6 and went on HYPER. Maybe enough power but didn't want to practice waterstarts in the shark pit so swapped to OCSLA. Wind gone. Tried 7.5 and got going to feel the board for a minute. Can't say I got enough TOW to give these boards the tick but they did get me out and back so no complaints. I tacked and slow gybed the OSCLA in bumps with 7.5 so that was good atleast.

10-19kts WNW-W level 0.31m Peely Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

 6.5m Turbo - WT64 ( 112ltres) 1 run then

2nd go on the CA95 with a 20cms Atomic

 It looked ok in the am but I waited around and it died. Went out on the big board for 1 run. My RS4 is in getting regripped.

I haven't used the Wt's much in flatwater. They ride pretty high nose wise so it was a bit scary the one run I did. 23.4kts.

Mike arrived and it came in so I put the 6.5m on the 95ltre. I usually run a 22cma on my other 90. I had a 16.5cms in it but figured I'd need to be able to point and could keep out deeper so tried the 20cm.

 It worked well although I was careful. I didn't go right down low though.

Enjoyed trying some gybes on it. None as good as the 1st one I'd done.. . I usually don't try gybes in a W when I'm really powered as I've had some bad stacks in the past.

 I went for one and I think the rig got ripped out of my hands in a gust and I got spat out the side.

 I 've been slack. the footstraps were miles too big and I hadn't bothered to adjust them. It took a while for my rear foot to come out and it was twisted. I slammed my left wrist into the bottom ( memories of LG ) and was worried I'd sprained it. I lost a lens out of my polaroid sunnies in the stack. 

Not too bad now ( phew). I made the straps smaller but they are still a bit big. The stance is too wide for me too but I'll have to live with it..

 After that I played it safe and just turned the board. I couldn't really score the strongest stuff in the flatwater.

 I got one run which gave me the easy 2 sec.

 Mike & I from Peely. Byron and Greg from Buff.
