Should have stayed home!

Broke 2 harness lines in 2 runs.

Missed the best wind because of it, and procrastinating earlier...

Foreshore Rd, Botany, NSW, AU

Naish Speed 60 once., 28cm Maui Fins, Fin (is a redundant fin necessary?)

iSonic 90L, VMAx 36cm -2cm thanks to a rock.

TR 5.5, simultaneiously too big and too small.

Scary run, down the runway in a gust, not quite deep enough off the wind to be fun, but the nose of the  board came up like a wheelie on a pushie - even though I was driving it down. I moved the mast forward after that! Leverage!

I think I need a new harness hook, as per my WhatsApp chat.

Not the day for 100k, so few out! ! kite as I came over the bridge, Georges river in the Sthly... and a NZ'er, Steve just getting back, joined me at Foreshore on a 4.7. Narly water. Would have been 'fun' trying a Botany Bay crossing today...

I stayed outside the exclusion zone, but that flat water was SOOOOOOOO tempting.

Combine it with global warming, rising sea levels, and could be even better... always a silver lining...
