Evan (5570km): Not a bad day at Mahers. Fairly rough in parts with the odd flat section here and there. Good to see so many there and catch up with most. Fairly comfortable on my kit although some nice stacks in the rougher sections. No luck with the gybes yet again. 2008 Ezzy 5.5m Wave SE & 2009 Starboard Kode86 with Drake 26cm fin. | ||||||||||||||||||
WindRider (3520km): I had quick sail at Inverloch with most of the Southerly Busters and the Pit Crew. I decided to take out the wave kit due to chop was starting to build and still getting over last week day operation. Well should have stay home as after I got 29.23 speed on the Quad, I thought great I could get over 30 on my wave kit, well I ending stacking on the next run and now I have a broken wrist (@ 27.47 knots). Oh well at least its winter. Neil Pryde 5.3m Combat (2010)Starboard Quad 81 (2010) | ||||||||||||||||||
Jman (10935km): Area 45 with the rest of the guys, never really got dialed in today in the chop. Last time I sailed the prokids I moved the front straps outboard and it felt fine today maybe inboard would have given me more control in the chop. One positive was the new deck grip worked well, didnt slip off at all. Also may need to concider a different fin for the real chopy stuf in future.

DETAILS: One of those days where Mother Nature gets a bit grumpy and decides to slap you around a bit. Low tide was early but the wind wasn't in fully. The tide started to turn and come in and the wind built- creating some very interesting chop!. The water was also quite murky so finding the edge of the bank was done by feel!. I managed to find a tree submerged off the mudbank and the result was 3 holes on the starboard rail of the board. The 5.9 was fully powered up but not too much of a handful. The tide was definately a challenge though especially over the shallow stuff where it raced at a good 5-7 knots. Still it was great to see over 10 guys on the water....particularly good to see our Pit Crew cousins sampling the delights of area 45.....happy for that to happen as long as the sharing extends to the Pit!!!!
