Got down there late. Whilst rigging saw Mark J and Greg get a cracker of a run down the mudbank - you guys were smoking.........wind was rapidly dropping and by the time I got on the water the wind was comfy sometimes on a 7.8, and other times way underpowered. Greg got out as I was getting in.....Sailed with Mark J and Dave. Used 7.8 RSS, 113 Falcon and 40cm Meanline

Holey crap I take my hat off to the guys that sail the Hastings regularly. Guys like Mark Jordan make it look so easy - so fit, smooth and efficient. I was stuffed within 20 mins with all the gybing and short runs with the cammed sail.....in this 20 mins I used more energy than I seriously would in 1hour of wavesailing or 3-4hours sailing long runs at Queens (like last Saturday) - just because of the constant time out of the harness and heaps of gybing. RESPECT goes to you guys

Nothing felt right today - the sail was rigged all wrong and I tried to sail with the rig further fwd on the board. There was some mega chop too - some fun little jumps. Tried more downhaul, let off some down haul - dunno - was sailing like a complete kook as it felt like I was hanging onto a lead balloon, maybe it was cos I was so tired so quick.....dunno, ....... regardless I will get some rigging lessons soon

All in all though, great to get out - beats working in the arvo............ my last sail before Samoa on Friday..........dont use up all the wind when i am away - save me a little

Booti Booti Point, NSW, AU. Nice late afternoon bash with Matt, Rob, Peter, Chris, Aza, Bill and Anton.

 Happy Birthday Anton, and welcome to the team!  A big thanks to Ella and Bill for putting on a few beers and a nice feed after a top days sailing.Best way to celebrate a birthday and end the day.Thanks!!

Falcon SL104, Select SO7 32 and Gaastra 6.5GTX, then SL79, Vector weedspeed 27 and 6.5 GTX. Had some nice runs on the 104, with the wind NNE gusting 15 -20k, then picking up and gusting 15-25, but veering Northerly and getting holey inside. Not too much weed this time, but enough to spin you out every now and then. Just managed a few runs on the SL79 combo before it went ordinary. All in all a good couple of hours on the water.The vector felt nice and slippery, and held well. Was keen to give it another try after the last episode on the 6.0 a while back, when it let go big time over the chop.

Today was high tide going out, and a bit choppy, but a few nice patches of smooth in places.Good to see a team effort today for the middle of the week.

Happy Birthday Anton

6.5 GTX, falcon 101, 35cm BP type s.  Very light around 12 noon considered using 8.0 but quickly built to around 20kts.  After a couple of hours the 35cm fin was starting to get too big and went down to a 29cm weed speed fin and the holes started to appear in the wind.

Thanks Bill and Ela for the BBQ and beers, very tasty after good day sailing.

For once work and wind aligned.  Amazing afternoon and water all to myself.  Started on 110 Ray with 5.5 NP Fusion but quickly shifted to 92 FSW.  Used thruster - prob not quick but SO LOVELY.  Must get fast fin.  Oh my goodness I am so in love with that board.
