First day out on the new board. Feels very nice through the chop, very consistent board and comfortable but not as fast down the line as the isonic86.

Wello, Exocet 62 - RS 5.8 C3 32cm. Nice sunny day but very gusty -- did not control the board very well -- my seat harness ripped (not very old) and during a gibe I fell off and the board kicked back and hit me on the left side (Rib Cage). I bloody hurts.

Tomorrow a new day, a bit less wind but looking forward to go out agian. Good turn out from the MOB Team..........

Cheers B.....

Got in at the Grand early but wind seemed to back off so went for a long walk with my board up to the train along the sandbank - never again!

Got to the train and still too much south but slowly moved around to the SE and improved but still up and down. Got 35 k on my first run and just could not improve-needed a bit more sail i think.

Well done Vando. Thats one smoken NM and 2 sec peak

Started of at Vp first , managed to get 2 good runs and 3 slack ones and i had to end the session from there!!!

Tried the proto Sonntag 23cm with the nude 54 and EVOIII 7.0 and it has a very good lock down feeling , and very well incontrol , no spinouts and tracks upwind very well.... this combo felt really good, managed to squeeze in two 38 kts on the dial and before i went on the water i measured out wind strength from 17 to 22 kts , averaging 18 to 19 kts , so quite plesaed with that....

Afterwards went to Wello and looks like i missed the best of it so i still rigged up the same speed gear to give it ago , pretty much underdone and really gusty could have been on a 7.0 to 7.8 !!!but managed to squeeze out a 2sec- 35.95 and 5 by 10sec - 34.22 , which im quite pleased with the consistancy....

This gave me a second try on the Proto Sonntag 23cm to see how it handles chop and the verdict is very very good for its size , can really load it up without fear of it letting go , its really a shame that i wasnt down earlier to see how it goes for higher speed through the chop but i think without doudt it will be a killer ...

Later on went in to put on the JP 59 to have some blasting slalom runs and had the chance to try out the new proto SL-S 32cm and this fin rocked felt light on the foot and comfortable through some cranking runs but still need to dial the board and sail combo in still didnt feel right , but still managed a few mid 34s ...

Richard and i decided to do a long 6.5km run again and out there was pretty messy just to much cross chop , the big swells were good but its just a short blast before you get hammered again in the cross chop very bouncy ride , but on the way back in managed to crack a 28kt NM in roughly 110 deg off the wind , some good airborn runs but speeds were sitting around 27 to 32 kts and man out there it felt much faster really had to concentrate and be in controll....

Vando Nice NM mate i saw you went for it good stuff...next time i shall join you...

Great sail with the mob again. The wind looked good early so I rigged the 6.3 but really could have been on the 7 most of the day.

Pretty happy with the NM with a bad foot wasnt too bad the first 500m but hit some pretty rough stuff out the back and ended up bailing

before a huge swell come around at me better that then landing on my ankle.

Thanks Sean for the loan of the IS86 still a really nice board that one. Im really missing a high wind board at the moment.
