First hit out on the SLW, Holy sheeeeet I can feel a Reg'ing coming on.
Had to walk right up the boat chanel to get to some deeper??? water for the 50cm rudder, hopped onto the baord to get upwind on the last bit of the channel and the SLW is wants to take of already get out after dragging through the snot ad the board feels a bit draggy, so drop of kit 1/2m2 of the fin and back on stand up and we're of, no pumping no fuss just straight onto the plane settle back bit of aharness line adjustment on the go and point it upwind and sail till past the platform go the gybe (remembering Riks windsurfing review) and step what feels like 3 feet away but the board goes around quite nicely flip the sail hook in and we're of again.
Well happy 1/2 hours worth of sailing for 11Nm, next time I'll adjust the footstraps so the fit my feet
One happy little muppet

5212 days ago Unexpected sailing session!
It has been so long since my last session (2 months), was not sure about my login!!
Just powered on the 80L, good fun @ my local in the bay with few others guys.. very low tide could not sail the pond or the island today... hit the deck 3 times damaging my freshly made 27!! Good to be back on the water and get a bit of back to shape. The kiters seem very happy to have to pond for themself...
Xfire_80L, RSS_6.7, 270/40_SSpecial (a touch slippery at time, gave me some lift! should be perfect for the 6m)

5212 days ago 7.0 Warp, 104 Fanatic falcon, 40cm chocco
alright session underpowered mostly at 108 kgs was really good to try out a new sail main reason for going out, saw a few guys out, was good to get wet
NEED TO GET A BETTER 40CM FIN, the chocco is too heavy and tends to spin out, mind you, only happens when im underpowered, should i go bigger then, cause when its blowing its fine hmmmm????
