Whooo... Black Friday The 13th was a bit South of South West most of the time and squalling in the low thirties with some painful rain to hail (most of us have dints).

If you got lucky on the odd westy gust the pit was having some tasty moments

Freaky Friday 13th..
My fastest run of the day felt the slowest, it was in the bigger 35' squall with rain, hail & sand belting me hard in the right eye. I had to close it and couldn't see much further than 40-50ft with left eye, it felt too sketchy with my vision/balance impaired so sheeted out a little and went survival mode, all was feeling neutral and slow. Pulled up and and had a 45.6pk and 44.4 10sec Freaky!!! Adrian who went moments earlier in the squall noted a similiar experience, felt slow yet fast. We were literally sucked along without having to fight or lean back into it.

Looking at the track log I was still accelerating when I went to slow down thinking that it was a poor run DopMax45.91, arrghh!

During one particular run, it hailed so hard that I could no longer see water due to the ice on the water-surface - I guess, technically, that run wont count as I wasn't sailing on water...! I also ended up with a fat-lip due to the hail.

On a good note, the alpha was done on the speed board and the Nm included a gybe.
