Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU, Isonic 111, Warp 7.0, FF 22

My first ever session at Budgy was great fun in an unusually strong May NE breeze. It was also the first time I've used the 7.0 Warp, so I was still tuning that sail during the session.

Overall, it's a great spot with an amazing vibe and super friendly people. Big smiles all round Laughing

 15-19kts NE then 10-20kts NE Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU -level 0. 26-28m

7.2m Moto - RS4 ( 111ltres) - 24cms FF

 swapped 6.5m turbo - RS2 ( 90ltre) - 22cms Atomic

Well that was a buzz! 

 Not sure what to rig but I went out with the 7.2m - big board and was fully lit . The wind was perfect for the Moto for once and I really liked it.

Fun, but I thought it would be easier and I'd go faster on the smaller kit with a thinner fin.

Back in and got the 6.5m -90..

A total buzz powered up on the bearaway along the weedbed getting lifted every now and then. It felt like warp speed, but I think going through all the isolated weedbergs slowed me. The channel was clearer but you still had to go through bergs.

It was a bit patchy towards Buff , a pain getting the smaller combo to the top of the run, and the wind was dying a little so I went and got the big combo again. Some great runs down the bank.

It's been a while since I've had 5 or 6 runs yodelling my head off with adrenaline..Tongue outTongue out

 Only one decent gybe and it was too wide to count..still buzzing..Tongue out

 The only problem with a NE in May is you get home in the dark.Undecided

Mike , Mick , Luke , Greg K , Matt , Macca and assorted others. Greg F went out almost on dark.

 The graph is overreading. It's usually pretty accurate in a NE.

Excellent Robbo. Seems like a special day for your first try, would have to be one of the rarest things, good score. I just drove back from Burrum today. Didn’t look at forecast, spinning out it’s like summer down here.

All good, thanks Mitch. I was the one spending too much time in the water fine tuning the 7.0 North Warp whilst getting coated in weed Smile
