Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

6.2 reflex 98lt f2, 24 weedy.

first sail from buff point, took a bit to find it but its another great spot dwn the cen coast.

it is shallow but dont need a delta to sail there, they just help get further into the shallows &

flater water, even though its flat were u use a normal weedy.

nicely powered on 6.2 at times then it started to get a bit gusty, just enough to plane then

powered up. great sail with milsy, byron, sue ,frothy, pugs, matt d, paul keep up the great sailing all, c u all

next windy day.

15-25+Kts SSW Buff Pt Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU.

Wasted 1.30hrs rigging.. so I was in a foul mood by the time I got out.

I'd decided to try a larger sail with the 78ltre Pocket wave - use a 6m overdrive..First run boom too high.. back in..next whoa! ( after spending ages trying to get into the flat area) dangerously overpowered so back in and 4.8m Hucker rigged.

6m with 78ltre  felt RS anyway - couldn't point as I can't pressure the fin ( 18cms fremove) and sail pulled down over my head as I was overpowered..

Pointing 20 degrees lower than slalom guys and spent half my life just trying to get high enough to have a run..Still got the best speed with that combo ( with a flat bottomed fin..)

When I came in after 1.30hr I realised I'd gouged 1/2cm off the bottom of the 18cm fin beachstarting .. I felt it hit the rock but I didn't realise I had done that much damage.. So not sure if the pilot was crap or the gear had an effect on working upwind..Earlier bad mood meant I couldn't be bothered trying to gybe properly and I was a total gumby- stepping on my own feet , missing the boom when I went to grab the other side.. Hope I'm better next sail..

 Back out with 6m and 95 Tabou Rocket + 20cms delta - much better combo upwind! I could do in 2 tacks what the waveboard took 4 or 5..Few bearaways that felt fast including one where I almost got thrown over the front ( most powered up ever.) but no decent speed.Wind was dying by now anyway . Thought I might have done some distance ..ugh..aches..

Milsy , Pugs ,  Matt , Rus, Bryon ..others? brain fried too tired.. Grinding along the bottom a lot today..
