Lilacs *bd W52 TR17 6.3 FF20

Drove down from work hitched up and down to Harding road. Not much water and Morts, Sammy and Decrep did not sem to be able to use much of the bay as he water was so low feeling unsure whether to bother I hit the water at 530. 

It was brilliant fun, The FangyFin again did its thing so well, the TR rotates so much better after a bit oc cam adjustment. The alphas felt great. 5x alpha of 24.743 :-) All these gybes prox 34m or less. will not focus on getting so tight tomorrow..

Great fun arvo, great to be back at Lilacs, but I was captain slow today. Think my fin was too big.

Not much wind or water when we arrived. I wanted to test out the long awaited 23cm 40-60 deg weedy, but Morts advised that it would be a mega walk from lilacs before I could launch, and the weed was thick and grabby at the gybe points.

So went with the filleted 20cm@55deg, really wanted to use the 19cm version but suspect I've left it behind.

Used the 48cm board and 6.2 koncept, was well powered but couldn't get any speed.

Hit a weedburg coming out of a gybe in the middle of my hr attempt, so didn't expect anything great.

hopefully tomorrow will have more wind and more water so I can try something different.

Same same... Koncept 6.2, Sonic 85L + FF20

Fun sail with Mike, Sammy, Shane & Steve.

Very low tide so kept out of the weeds at the Town end for the most part. Don't tell the others but I did a sneaky by starting the hour up at the NM start point & doing a couple of legs back down
