Fully friggin stoked, finally did it woo hoo. Monkey is off my back.
Got to river about 10.15, just me and Grumpy rigging up. Went with the first combo and after a couple of passes to test the depth of the water, which was making me a bit nervous with the 42 in, first real run felt fast and when I checked the gps saw 31.25 on the dial. was so stoked I did a little jig right there in the water.... sailed for another 40min before the 7.5 became a bit of a handful.
Back to car for a warm coffee and change down. Rigging 6.5 and cams wouldn't stay on, upon closer inspection bottom cam was broken so raided the 6.0 for another and all good. changed fin to 38 as well. A few more on the water by then with Col, Anita, Grant and the slow one rigging up to join the party.
Wind was starting to really fill in by then and had a few more 30's and 31's on the gps but nothing better. had some lunch and decided to put the 94 in the water, had some fun on that for a while but was feeling a bit shagged so called it quits just before 3.00. got packed up just before the rain came. Great to get some wind on my week off and catch up with my like minded friends
