8.5m koncept, 122 futura, 42cm carbonised pepeweed. A short float on the estuary to try out the new fins. Worked really well until a couple of new rocks appeared that weren't there before  Happy with the performance, and the profile.

did some first aid on the beach but they had to come home and get put on the operating table.

1st Seabreeze of the season for me 

possibly my last sail until December as I have to go away on Deployment next week

Light workin Sammy was out there too but I never got to line up against him and he sailed from the pond whereas I rigged up near the Cray boat ramp

Funn Funn Funn for a session on the big stuff

Like Adam, first seabreeze ocean sail of the season, only about 12kts, but looked soooo inviting, just had to have a go.

Used big board with the 6.0 and 31 40deg woody weedy. Underdone with the 6, lots of pumping to get going, and couldn't plane upwind, had one bear off to get 22 on the dial, but took 2 slogging runs to get back where I started.

Told Hardie I had a 22 then watched him dissapear downwind trying to beat it.

Woo Hoo my Alpha was within 4.5knots of my peak speed How good is that corner

Rushed home from Work as Hardz had given us the heads up that there was a seabreeze in at Avy rushed home as fast as peak hour road works trafic pajamys would let me, slapped the trailer on the car ruched down to Avy to see Decrep and Hardz packing up, rushed down to Novara hoping that there would be a hint of wind, quickly rigged, tacked up the boat channel out only to find that no matter how hard I pumped the SLW can't perform mirricles in f-all wind.

Still stoked with my Alpha

Happy, Sunny, cruisy, shorty session in SBay. . Light breeze, just powered on the 6.7 (left the 7.2 home ), got to test my new girl.. she is niiiiice. Does not feel like as bulky as my previous JP68!! Easy sailing at sea, fast acceleration, does not feel like a boat to jybe!! very happy with it, the board is perfect for me. Just needed a bit more wind or the right sail today .
