Bring it on more tomorrow!

90L isonic 23cm weedie and 7m R8 severne

Coal Point, NSW, was going off, very windy and rough RS2, 6.2 R4, 31 Vmax 3 - was having a great sail until an epic catupult ended my day early.

Coal Point, NSW, AU

TRX 6.3 and RS3 Loads of wind probably 20-25 kts, but islands very deep and tide running out, so not good at all for speed (for me anyway)

Coal Point, NSW, AU - North F2017 7m, Starboard IS80, 24 MXR

20-25kts + ENE Coal Pt

 then 12-20kts NE Marmong Point, NSW, AU

 Not sure how to post this? 2 sessions - 1 really short crappy one but got the 2 sec and a decent one at Marmong- all bar 2 sec are from Marmong.

It's Steve's fault ( hope you're ok)..

 Forecast was for 10-15kts and it came in early so I headed down early aiming  to go for distance on the big kit.. yeah right.. Got there and 15-23kts odd..I was going to put the 68ltre waveboard in but the van was packed so I didn't

 Rigged the 6m OD with the 79ltre Falcon .. Steve L went out with the 6m on his RS2 and he weighs more than me.. he had a masive hooked in round the front stack coming back overpowered.. Took a while to get back in with a few more stacks.. His first words were " I can't feel my legs.." ..( do you want an ambulance? No..) and he went and recovered in the shade..

 By now I was really psyched out ..

Rerrigged the 5m OD on the falcon and went out expecting a  pleasant comfy powered sail.. Almost sank in the lulls..managed to make it into the caravan park shallows without sinking and falling in. I  fixed the harness lines and let the sail off a bit..Back along the sand islands and the  wind really kicked in and with wind v tide there was 2 ' standing chop..Brown pants trip back..

 I find the falcon unpleasant in 10 " chop so the 3-4' rolling waves and confused chop off the pt was horrendous. I was still pyched out so I didn't even pull the sail on, just stayed in the straps and harness and left it not on properly...After several attemps I made it above the point and decided to risk shark bait and just drift in and walk it back. I did do one short run in a lull. Once I was near the point the rig got pulled out of my hands. I'm unfit and a lousy swimmer and knew I wouldn't catch it so I  just looked after myself ans swam in to land assuming the board & rig would blow ashore on the point and I'd just walk it down..

 Grr it took off at a tangent getting further and further out..at least the rig acted as a bit of a sea anchor.

Once I got back to the launch Les swam out and Scott paddled his board out and they brought it in ( about 3-400m out by now in 20-25kt choppy conditions ). Great job guys thanks!

 If I'd had my wavegear I may have gone out again but not slalom. Headed to Marmong.

 Patchy 12-18kts so out with the 115Xcross - 7m NCX - 38 makani. Not bad.. kicked in so got the RS2 out and 33 makani.

Good fun! Loved the long runs. I was hoping  for a decent nm but it b picked one with a b gybe in it as usual Chop was so smooth compared to Coal

 One powered up run I could feel the plate and screws in my ankle straining which was worrying so I didn't stay out a lot longer..

 Disappointed in the stats..obviously didn't bear off  enough at Marmong. I really thought I'd at least get 28kts..

 Should have gone to Budgy. .although Marmong was nice..

Great session with Walshy, Andy, Greg, Paddo. Seemed super windy but just couldn't seem to break 30 for over an hour. Then everything clicked, the water seemed to flatten out a bit and I was over 30 on almost every run. Have been really slow lately and Ive worked out it was due to me progressively shortening my harness lines in search of more comfort. Lengthened the lines back out again, tried to stay more upright in the gusts and the speed returned. Stoked with the 2 sec/5x10. A big Lake Mac PB and my fourth fastest session ever..

Underdone all day with a 7.8 on the isonic 97. It was an enjoyable sail all the same. Hopefully a bit more wind tomorrow!

Well done Tibor you're a living legend.
