Shelley Beach, Horse Peninsula, SA, AU

Patrik 145lt, Thommen 115lt, NCX 7.0 with standard freeride fins. Wind 5-25kts up and back.

That was hard work. Wind was up and down with a few direction changes thrown in. I rigged an 8.6 to start with and looking back should have stuck with that decision would have only been a few gusts that would have been a worry.

Definetly a nicer seastate with a seabreeze but a sail is a sail.

Glad you got out PK, how long are the runs with that direction?

Hey Kimba, the longest runs yesterday were just over the magic mile. The runs could be a bit longer with better wind as you could head across the next little bay. There are some oyster leases in the way where my shorter runs ended.

I am heading out that way again this morning for another look with a bit more west in the wind. Just hoping the wind is a bit more consistant.

Good luck, PB wind?
