First time at North Flats, South Padre Island, TX. After very little wind for 2 weeks, Nina saw that SPI had a better forecast than CC, so we drove down a couple of days. Today's session was lovely, well powered on 7.8 SB & Falcon 99. Was on the way to a new PB for 1 h when a harness line broke after 55 minutes. That killed my plan to end the hour with a downwind run, which would have pushed me over the 22.2 knot average I had until then. I did a couple of short runs without using the harness on one side, but still ended up 3 minutes short .. and a mile upwind from the start. Considering that the hour included 2 wet jibes, this place definitely has potential!

Nina saw that there were several other very good freestylers out, and had a brand new board to sail for the first time, so she did freestyle. Maybe she'll use slalom gear tomorrow .. but I believe it when I see it.
