Nice afternoon session with Pete, Neil and Chris and first session this year without losing or breaking a gps, so first gps post for me. Pretty hard trying figure out what would work today as it was very gusty and very up and down. At first, the wind direction was almost north westerly and loads of freeriders all over the place. Opted to rig a 7.8m cause it was light winds, maybe 15 knots, and started on the isonic 107, too small in the light winds so got the isonic 137 out, much better. Around 3.30pm, the wind kicked in, 27k to 35k and it swung more westerly, nice. Accept, it was not too nice as the 7.8m was much to big and I gad a awkward stance and couldn't make use if the good power. I figured out that the 7.8m is good for 25k to 30k gusts, anything more and it overpowers very quickly. If I had had more time, I would have rigged the 7m and W49, I think this would have been perfect for me. But we all thought the stronger wind would only last about 15 minutes so I opted not to re-rig, little mistake. Was fun:)
