Gusty sail still fun, wind one moment thinking it will fill in and then no wind at all!!

Love my new KA Race 6.3 it keeps getting faster, Naish SP LTD 95 and Vector Rocket 32 (very nice fin) thanks JasperCool

Dave turned up when i got out of the water Cry I think I will call him the Red Barron, I just know he will dive bomb my 2 sec peakLaughing

Hope the new sails are red so I can keep calling you the Red Barron Dave. Stay Happy Cheers Russ

Houston hope my fin reshaping efforts bring you a fast runSmile

Got there just as Russ had come in and the wind had dropped.  Hoped it would come in again so rigged iSonic 86Slim, Reflex 6.2 and Venom 34cm.  Grovelled for ages before the wind did come in a bit and ended up having some good runs back an forth.  Then Kaleb turned up, rigged up and as he hit the water it howled through!!  Got some quite hair-raising runs in during this squall, bearing off in 30+ knots over the back of chop.  After about my 5th run, the boom gave way at the boom head ending my session, but thankfully no other damage.

Well done on your 36+ knot 2 sec Russ, that's awesome.  Was hard work out there today.  Good to see a few others out and quite a few rigging up as I was leaving.  Looked like the wind had filled in nicely and the sun had come out.

Yes Russ, the new sails will be RED!!

Didn't really get a good run, underpowered then over powered on the Falcon 95 but when the wind cranked in got out the Isonic 76 felt fantastic but didn't get quite enoungh wind.....still a great afternoon

Russ I don't think Kaleb could beat your 2 sec.....I did as you said "let's tell Buzzy you only got 34k"

But Dave went and spoiled our fun and told him

You sneaked in there Russ, must be that extra bit of height over the Red Barron. Like Gordo my average 2 second peak must be in the 28's.....boringFrown, I want faster, I'll have to grow another foot and put on another 20 kilo's.

Had one run, got 34.40. Then adjusted sail and as soon as I got on the harness line broke.  Sailed back to car, put new line on and the wind dropped.  It came back a bit later but was only about 20 knots.   With the wind that I saw when I was rigging I would have expected  Dave to get 37+ and as it was soo much flatter and stronger in the gusts earlier I thought Russ may have been upto 38. Not sure what those blokes are doing wrong they just dont seem to be improving.  Oh yeh! Houston, no 33+.Wink
