Christchurch Estuary, NZ ..Nice sunny afternoon trying out my new Point-7 AC-Z 6.8 on my Exocet RS1 80L/55W, went with my 23 Vector Delta fin, mostly because I needed to take care about shallow areas up in the middle of the estuary, but the fin was too short to rail my board in the chop, making for an often bone shaking ride - So not really a fair test of the sail.

Lyttelton Harbour, Supercross, 6.5m, started on the fin.  Was having trouble maintaining myself on the plane, so switched to the foil even though it was gusty and very lumpy with the outgoing tide.  Depowered sail as couldn't be bothered switching to the smaller sail.  Stupid conditions for foiling but clocked up a few km and passed the 4000km mark finally.

Christchurch Estuary, Few runs on the slalom gear. Novel to be on a fin when its not so windy. Never really powered up. Should of gone with the 7.0 but then id be foiling instead. FF 79, LRB 6.3, C3 30
