Slowboat (25967km):
5381 days ago Nice to get a low this early. Bit gusty and patchy but it was nice for about 10 minutes as the squall line went over. Started on one of my carbon fins. Plenty of drive for the conditions, but not trimming the board so well in the puffs (was too big). Went to the KA28SL just before the squall line came over. Felt heaps smaller than the carbon fin and was undersized unless fully gassed. Hit a big patch of seaweed on my fastest run and felt like I was hitting a wall. Conditions were there for a few more knots I think. So I sailed in and changed to the KA23. The wind was dropping after that so spent a while schlogging around underfinned. The fin was a lot more slippery than the 28 for some reason. Sail felt wicked in the gusts. Its so stable I feel like I can use it in 35kts. Melville, N54, CL32s/KA28/KA23, NP RSR EIII proto 7.0. Its great to get a taste of winter so early.
