8-15kts occ puff more WSW then 15-18kts while I was rerigging then 5-13kts  SW Canton Beach, NSW, AU

 7m M2OD- RS2 ( 90tre) - 21.5cm FF ( cutdown 24)

 then 7.5m GT Turbo -RS2 - 24cm FF

Should have been on the 7.5m - 111ltre...

Andrew ( Nesty) was going well on his 7.7m and changed to the RS4 so I decided to try the smaller gear. It was lovely in the gusts but not enough of them so off the plane a lot. After 50mins I decided to come and get the big gear.. Of course it kicked in to 15-18kts plus while I was on the shore and everyone was flying..Yell

 Decided to try the 90 with the 7.5m and larger FF. It had died down by the time I got back out so off the plane a bit. Fun in the gusts and gybes weren't too bad but tiring slogging. Not enough wind to bother trying any bearaways..

 Matt gave me a go on his 8.6m and 140ltre board. By now it was max 8kts . I got going a little but never enough to get the back foot in. Pity there wasn't 8-10kt..Tongue out Nice comfy feel and nice to have a big floaty board for once.

Andrew. Pete, Matt , another guy and me.

I figured out why the 7m wouldn't rotate. I'd tightened the boom batten to get rid of the wrinkles . Then it was too tight and jammed on. I loosened the batten again so it has a few wrinkles and it's better.

I'll have to see if there is a spacer on that cam and if so remove it .
