I was writtten off this am. I didn't think i had a sail in me but it ended up being the most enjoyable sail so far..I was powered in the gusts and comfortable in the lulls at first. I didn't try many gybes as it seemed too strong but when I did surprised myself at how easy they were..
Sailed from 2-5pm. It finally got good at 5pm but I was buggered..I was after a 5 x 10 but it wasn't strong enough..still in my top 5..
What a difference a week makes! A week ago I would havebeen scared stiff but I'm getting used to the board having a spaz attack under me and found myself singing and even yeehaaing going upwind powered in the chop..
Today was speed run day. I wanted at least 5. I got right up to the top of the run several times.The first few times, although it was very strong in the middle chop it was a very broad bearaway and I had nothing! It only came in right at the end when my go pro card was full and I was buggered..
Big weedbeds in the lake now but boy they are thick! It's a pity you need a decent fin for the 1'rolling chop or you could use a smaller one for the weedbeds..about 6'rolling chop in the bearaways ( except for the flat super thick weedbed in front of 5 mile..)
Absolutely stuffed tonight but happy as . Frothie left his big standup Taj Mahal tent for me..just in time I was so sick off the little crawl in one.. 
Only issue is it's got more windage..hopefully it won't bliow away..
