5657 days ago i was out on my wave gear today, noticably slower, i also snapped my tendon 2km out to sea and had to swim everything in then run to my car to go pick up my gear, still had fun tho, theres something about being stuck out to sea swimming in your gear for 1.5 hours thats fun... ah well had a good laugh when i finally got to the beach

5656 days ago Started off with and Venon 26 and did first 5 runs with it to get 5x10, then experimented with last 3 runs on the strike 22cm, and used Missile S Gaastra Vapor 5.5m all day. The strike assy is definitely the faster fin, did fastest run of the day on it in less wind, and solid as a rock, in hindsight shoulda used it at the start. The other guys John R, Hamma amd Shelby were doing 42's to 44's, and having a look at the video at the end of the day, there is a big technique issue with my sailing a hangover from 15 years of wavesailing. Harness lines too short, arms and legs too bent, riding too much on top of the board and not using my ample leverage and body outboard. Thanx Hamma and Daffy for pointing it out!!
The feeling of going doing that run is just so exhilirating, one of the best feelings avauilable in life!! Towards the end I started to get used to it, and either wish I had a bigger sail, or better technique to get more power out of what I had!!
After walking back 1.5 kms in soft sand on 8 occassions I can honestly say That I am truly f'd today!!!
GPS Display 39.81 (Strike 22 in less wind), had another 39.75 (venom 26 in stronger winds)
