Belmont Bay (Slipways), NSW, AU

Isonic 117W Reflex R7 8.6 S1 43cm

The BOM is really underestimating the strength of these easterlies lately. Must have been gusting to 25kts at times. Way overpowered from first run to last run on the 8.6. I think Hugh changed down to his 7.8. I should have gone to my 7,0!  Still, great fun getting to grips with the big gear. Just couldnt sheet in during the gusts for a decent 2 sec and gybing was a chore. With Andy and Hugh from Coal.
