Beachport, Surfbeach 15 to 20 SW swinging to W, 2 to 3 metre swell.

117 F2 stoke, 5.8 NP RS4, then 5 ezzy wave, 30 JP supercross fin.

sailed after work in the surf for a blast with james on his kite, started on the RS4 but was a bitch water starting out to sea when the sleeve filled up and the boom dosen't rest on the back of the board on the stoke to help water starting like on my old board, 1st time with a wave sail on the stoke and it was fantasic with the straps all in and single on back, got some great jumps on the way out and real comfy in the air, no top speeds as too rough will hit the lake tommorrow arvo for hopefully some speed.

Great arvo session at boggy lake in a 20 - 25 knot s/sw wind.  Dusted the cobwebs off the isonic 50 and decided to go with the 5.8 for more power on the speed board.  Great decision the Isonic 50, 5.8 koncept and c3 24cm fin (3rd time out) were an awesome combo.  Really choppy both ends of the lake with a sort of flat section in the middle although you hit the rolling chop head on on bearaways.  I think with 5 - 10 knots of wind and little more sw i think you would do high 30's.  Good to see Tim back on the water.

Boggy 2 - 20 - 25 s/sw.

Great day out sailing with a few mates and Hayden

Late in the day we did a few runs right up by the Mouth entrance, nice and flat (short) but the current was rushing out at about 5-8 Knots, pulled the speeds back a bit !

Socker of a day for me.  Loaded the trailer, shifted the car and had to get out in a tight space - put my foot through the door speaker.

Got to boggy and it had filled in - rigged 7m evo11 and plugged in the JP49.  Was pretty choppy and 25-30 at first and I wasn't too comfy trying to keep the board on the water so I headed in for some weight.  Stepped on a 15mm thorn that stayed in my foot for the day!

Thought I would go out on a 58cm freeride board to smooth out the bumps and stay connected.  Heading out upwind through the chop leaning forward in the harness and thud.  Boom seems to flex in the middle.  I had just broke my newer $1600 x9 boom 3 weeks out of warranty 

Went out on the 5m by which time it had dropped and became more gusty.  I had 1 run off the wind off the wind underpowered and waited 20 minutes for a gust to get back.

I would have been on the 92VI but I am still waiting for the damn thing.  All in all it was one of those days when you seriously consider why you do the sport.
