Coal Point, NSW, AU

CA70 and 7.0 Blustery southerly. Mostly good fun.

Hugh came out for the worst bits!

10-18kts S Brandon lane then 12-24kts S Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

 7m OD - RS4 ( 111ltres) - 24cm FF

 then 87ltre iso - 7m - 24cm FF

 then 80ltre iso - 20cms FF - 6.6m KA Koncept

I was expecting it to be SSE- SE so launched at Brandon and rigged for comfort rather than speed which was a good call early on..Much better than I expected - on the plane most of the time. Pretty flat although not Budgy glass..Out from c 10ish to 2pm..

 Decided to risk the 87ltre in the gusty conditions..Drove up to a lane further E of Brandon and it's only a 100m sail across to the shallows..Team leader said not enough to bother cutting from the tracks and the 2 sec was on the water anyway..

I thought I'd be fit after LG but feeling very tired although I did have a 7m up as did Glynn and he said it was getting very strong in the gusts.. The lake level is up but that was good as I could use a decent fin. As long as I was planing or gybed in a gust I didn't bottom out in the shallows.

Not much Clearwater at the end when it came in.

It was picking up and I was reading 23kt gusts so I went with the smaller board with the 6.6m to cover the patchy conditions..well overpowered with the 6.6m.. and too tired to do more than a few runs..Had an exhilarating run in over 1 ' rolling chop and called it a day . Just in time as a rain shower came and killed it..I was the only one out for the last hr odd..

 Everyone else launched at Buff Pt . I saw Glynn , Cluffy? Gareth..+ others

zzzzzz
