Pointman (30156km):
5981 days ago Slalom racing at Peli Point.
Pretty good breeze, around 18-20ish for the most part, backed off a bit later.
Reasonably well powered up on the C70 + 7.5 Koncept + 44 Talon.
Not a fan of the standing start, I was struggling to get on the plane every time. Need to work on my pumping technique (and get a bigger board...sizing up a light wind slalom weapon around 135L). Consequently I was well down the fleet after the starts and all I could do was try and claw back a few places. Had some good duels with Jet and pipped him right on the line a couple of times.
Speed across the breeze was OK and only dropped a couple of gybes, so it was a good training session for South Beach this weekend.
