Melville WA ;  Futura 93, NP Zen 6.1, Aerotech 5.0, Drake 36

Got there at 0730 am with the intent of running 5kms but gave that a miss and got straight on the board!

Gusty, lumpy, volatile, and honestly, didn't enjoy it much. Spent most of my time in survival mode not speed! Was overpowered in the gusts using the 6.1 so changed to the 5.0 which was the other way.

PB today was best "out the back" stack. Elastogirl ...  bouncing on back being dragged by board with foot stuck in toe straps. will toughen up.

Wind was dropping when I had to go, then noticed it picking up as I left. Happy to be the sacrificial lamb this time. Im shattered!

Til tomorrow.....

I suspect I missed the best wind of the day, but still a nice sail in 15 knot gusts.

Well done Nic! 7:30 am start - you are keen, I was still in bed. Early bird catches the wind!

I hope the wind sticks around for after work tomorrow.
