85 Sonic, mended (Thanks Steve!), 4.7 Tushy Storm, 28 vector, 20 -25 knots + swell and chop
Gybe lesson. Who would have thought I'd get a 27 on a little wave sail in that swell and chop without really trying? A PB for this sail, which I haven't used in about 18 months, and a fifth best 2 sec for me. Fun fun fun. More like wavesailing at Peli today. Didn't try to complete any gybes today, just working on approaches and carving.
Nice to meet Pugsie who came and introduced himself. I have a poor memory for faces so please come and introduce yourself again next time you see me.

good sail was a bit lumpy and a bit gusty but i was fine on what will be my new fav combo
i recon on a better day perhaps down at SB or mandurah this combo has a smoking alpha in it
had a play with another couple of fins in the mistral today started of with the stiff 32 pointer and was going really quick every where except for when i went for a few runs down the bar and then the few runs i did at wally world too, just didn't feel right and i wasn't going very quick, went in swapped to the 24 weedy predictibly tricky upwind, better on the run but still didn't feel quite right even when i went back over to wally world for a second hit, i did get my best speed with the 24 but i feel that i could of had it faster with another fin perhaps my soft 30 pointer would have been better 
swapped back onto the 32 to go for some alphas but the wind went even gustier but everyone hopped off the water other than slowie, snides, me and a couple of others, the water flatened out and i got a few more 31's down the bar, but was probably the best sail i've had in a long time just out with a few freinds with the sun setting on some nice flat water and a little bit of wind 
6.2 reflex, 57 mistral, 32 ? pointer, 24 custom weedy

WOW - that blew away the cobwebs and replaced all the soreness and achess with new ones.
I wish we could have those conditions for a LOC !
Some nice waves/ seas to run in , the 24 knots felt a lot faster than that. kept it on the water most of the time but did manage to tweek an ankle. Must stop landing jumps and go back to just crashing them, its a lot safer. All so fast and furious no time to notice wildlife.
There were 14 sailors and one kite at Mettams when I went back to get the car, overcrowded in my opinion.
