Drift (5307km):
5109 days ago LOCATION: ANGLING CLUB
WIND : SW- 15-20 GUST TO 25-30
TIDE: OUTGOING
GEAR: Jp Excite Ride 110, 32 Cm FIN, KA KOYOTE 5.3 then JP Supersport 135, 42 cm g10 fin, KA KOYOTE 6.6
DETAILS: Definately one of those days! Couldn't get the set up right on the 110 and 5.3,,,felt truly awful. Sav provided a few tips and I finally got the thing moving but it just didn't have the grunt.
I'm thinking I was underfinned in addition to the 5.3 simply being too small!
Changed up to the 6.6 and had a few runs on the 110. Felt Ok but the wind was dying so I went to the SS-135. The moment I hit the water we got a nice big squall (30kts I reckon) but the wind settled down for the afternoon. The tide was coming in so the flat water became few and far between. It was still good in terms of long planing runs.
My speeds came late in the day on the bigger gear.....I definately need to rethink my small gear set up. (Crank out the credit card!!!)
