First decent sea breeze at melville. NP RSR E6 7.0, RRD Xfire V8 114 [37 Tectonics Pheonix] then V6 98 [29 Tribal weed].
Good to get the eye in again with the slingshots at Melville. Lots of people out!

Almost a month since my last sail! Felt it... Brand spankers 7.9m '18 KA Race. 112, CLSL3 36. Rigged for slalom angles but didn't have the arms for that. Had a bit of fun with Rowan and Shane doing fig 8 but had to keep stopping for breath. Normally this fin goes in the bigger board, and I rarely use a 7.9m on the 112. Did a few downwind squirts and am surprised by the speed. Setup felt really balanced and was smoking on all angles- I think its improved upwind from last year. Now I just need to improve my fitness so I can sheet in exiting the gybes. Was fully lit at times and that made me notice how much muscle I wasted this year from too much sitting at the desk. Summer is here so hopefully can fix that.
