Good work on the PB Chris. Nice be out with the lads agian. First time windsurfing in over seven months and only six months after Pec Major re-attachement surgery, seriously lacking fitness only managed 2 runs, had to let go entering the run once as I could not hold on any longer.  Loomo big world 44 board, NPRS Racing 5.8, 200mm Loomo asymetrical 8% fin. Lynfield run, 20 to 25 knots SW.

Mortally infirmed, so what! (PAIN discomfort!)

Only completed 4 runs.

Went out with the KA 5.7m Sail for 1 run, felt too windy & slow.

Long walk back to change down to the KA 4.9m Sail.

Once back in the water the wind decided to drop, so hard slogging.

Happy that  the Koncept 4.9m is working now in such minimal wind & good foot pressure to stop the small board from pitching;

1) RDM 370 mast, sail head spills & bottom of sail deeper
2) More curve in the botttom battens
3) Wide End Boom...need to make the rear end even wider.
4) & really loose outhaul
(set doesn't look pretty on the beach)

Another 10 knots of wind would make this combo work even better.

Good to see the Bruce, Craig & Chris out, on the whole enjoyable very short sail
