Another fun blast out here, this time with PK, he's picked up his 6.8 Avalon slalom sail.

Wind better than yesterday, definatelly had a few 18kt gusts, thought I might push the Thommen and lightning 6.0 to 30kts in the open ocean, but didn't quite get there.

Forgetting my booties, and being too slack to go back for them, or adjust footstraps, meant my feet were very sloppy in the straps. Was trying very hard not to get air!!!!

How to describe todays session..... pure joy

After a hot and sweaty day working around the house, noticed a bit of wind so hitched up the trailer and toddled of to the estuary, got there to find Robin just rigged up, didn't trust the breeze so I rigged the bigger slalom gear (Sorry Bender wasn't brave enough to rig the Fear factory).

Went down the cahnel and staright away it was just a fun sail, didn't want to go out to far incase the wind dropped so limited the length of my runs, decided that I'd muck around practising my gybes trying to get my foot transitions better, was time well spent, worked hard on left hand gybes as well to try and eliminate rounding up problems and felt to be having some better results.

Shame there was nobody to see me do my best gybe of the day (uncompleted), got a good gust leading up to a lefty got some good power unhooked without altering the trim, through it into a sweet carve (the fastest of the day) great foot work and fantastic sail flip had the board flying on the exit, prior to hooking in again I gave the sail one last pump and my back foot slipped of the board landing me sitting up on the board between the footstraps (triming the board quite nicely) still hanging on to a powered up sail still planing along I couldn't get my fat arse up from the board and ended up having to bail, spewing

Realy liking this board, it's such a joy to ride, whole lotta fun

Lot of fun at SBay with Adam agaiiiiin! A touch stronger that yesterday at first, but lost precious time messing around for an hour with 2 of my cams on the 6.7, then put a too small fin on, went all the way back from the island to change it to my yesterday setup! Lot of play on sand the bar at the end of the day in a dying breeze.... very enjoyable . Lot of kites, windsurf, people.. good fun
