lao shi (27489km):
5847 days ago 2 categories Great session at Hardies.
Started on the JP slalom II 84 and 29cm Elmo weedie with the 5.8 koncept. The hour had one splat and 18 gybes in total so there is definitely potential for more if I get game enough to use the whole estuary.
Switched to a fin loaned from Decrepit a modified Maisch about 26/27. Top speed went from 33.5 to 35.3. Ave from 32 to 32.7. Nmile included about 50m of spin out. Held over 30 with a high of 32+ otherwise.
Switched to the Team challenge Thommen which was a much friendlier ride than it looked. Coped with the chop well but just wouldn't go faster than the slalom. Felt like it needed a size bigger sail and could have handled it. Top speed 35 ave 33.4. Wind was still building but snapped a harness line and by the time I got back in I was done.
Thanks James for the sail. It was just what I needed.
Thanks to the Mobsters for their generous support.
