First proper windy day this year so i headed over to Dungarven. Very gusty where i needed my 7.3m in the lulls and 5.7m in the gusts. Decided to use my 6.4m and spent the session either underpowered or completely stacked but nice to finally get in some speedsailing this year. Hopefully the wind is now back for a while and i can start posting some Speedsailing Sessions over the coming months. Used the new 29cm Vector Fins Delta fin and it's awsome. Gives loads of lift to get upwind and very controllable off the wind where i was able to push against it with no sign of the fin loosing grip. Very stable at speed as well, can't wait to try the smaller ones out.

Gear used - Starboard I Sonic 86, KA Koncept 6.4m, 29cm Vector Maui Fins Delta Speed Fin
