Pelican Point, Usual combo, 111, 7.5, 42

After picking up new board bag for most loved piece of gear, to replace old and tired one headed to the river(in hindsight should have saved my cookies)

After chating to Sccargo for a while breeze suddenly came good, rigged and was off, woohoo......Smile

Good wind and just starting to get into it, when in middle of river boom started to feel a bit funny, sort of soft all of a sudden, looked at front end all seemed good there then noticed bulge about 5 inches down had time enough to think oh ohSurprised and then snap, boom fell apart in hands and in the drink. end of 2nd most loved piece of gearCry

Had to swim like buggery just so I didn't miss the point then long walk back. absolutely knackered by time I was back to Peli

Thanks Troutty for the lend of back up boom but stuffed after that.Disappointed that need new boom but more so that missed a great day on the water, if I wanted a swim would have just gone to the poolCry

Pelican Point, WA, AU

Isonic 107 Reflex 7.8 Canefire 42 / Isonic 101 Reflex 7.0 Canefire 40

Started out on the NEW 107 feels fast but alittle way in tuning to go before resorting back to old faithful

One of the most enjoying sail in ages Laughing

I gave the Pelican Point twilight slalom a go this time. Due to work travels and lack off wind this was the first time I participated this season.  I was mostly trying to avoid finishing last, and was not always succesful at thatEmbarassed.  Still, it was good fun and it is a great way to learn fast. Cool Thanks to WWA and Windforce for organizing these series again this season.

Troutty, that's BIG fin for the R 7.0/101 combo....interesting since I tried a Canefire 36 with the RRD 102/ 7.0 combo and found it too loose and didn't like it at all so went with a Choco FB36 instead (which is fine)....perhaps the Canefire was just too small?

Col(nice to see you back from holiday) and Brabo saw you both out there surely one of you can back Troutty up better than my numbers. He was on fire. Col saw you doing some nice runs down to the point. please tell me you had the gps on.........

We need a big jump up the aussie ladder. 20th place doesn't sound too good for us Wannabees.Surprised

Cheers Guys PB by a bees d**k  but I will take it

Shooting up the rankings 21.54 to 21.55

Hey Nauts I can run the 101 with a 38 but choose to run with the 40 as it feels it has a but more lift and better upwind and all in all more comfy

and if I remember I think that the Isonics have a fatter arseEmbarassed and as you are aware we have a bit more chop over our side more so
