Kyeemagh, NSW, AU

Tabou Rocket 140, Loft 02 7.4m, Tabou Freeride fin 48cm and Select 34 cm fin.

 

We decided to head down to Kyeemagh after the rain had gone away. Not much wind was forecast on Seabreeze so we didn't expect much. However once there I found the wind was a reasonably strong NE breeze but a bit incosistent. I rigged my biggest gear.

 

Once out there the wind was good, getting stronger too. However the water was aweful. It smelt foul and was filthy with rubbish and sediment. The wind increased in strength and it was a bit much. I was impressed with the 7.4 sail though. It felt fine even though it was at the top of its range.

I came in not sure whether to rig down or give up. Used a smaller fin. Met Michael who rigged a smaller sail. Then decided to give up as the water was yucky.

Hope you didn't get wet - I tried not to go in on Wednesday but dropped a couple of gybes - and have had a head cold for the last three days. Not a coincidence I suspect... Staying out of the water today but planning to take advantage of the forecast NE'rs this week - anyone able to join me?
