Coal Point, NSW, AU

WWell...it was a hard day for me today.  True to my record l packed my car according to the advice of seabreeze...

Seems like l ll never learn . I took only my 8m foil sail and of course l wished l had packed at least my 7m. So l suffered in that first 30 minutes free gps. Later we did 3 slalom races for which l used more downhaul like Hedgie would have advised me. It was a lot easier more manageable but still angry with myself for being so dumb. 

Remind me not to do this again! !!!!

Thanks to Murray Greg Tia Barry for doing a good job..it's always good to see the Sydney boys and girls up here but our local guys put on a good show too.

A fun day! I thought about going in the first 30 min race but when I got out in front of Coal it was really lumpy and chopped up and patchy wind. Not much fun. I headed up above the point and got an extra 5kts of wind for 30mins nicely powered on flatter water. The yachts were racing here too but I managed to time it so I missed them and although it was still a bit chopped up at times it also had some nice, more regular chop. I had some lovely runs towards Green Point and back past Coal.

Had a short break and back out, once again good wind for the runs to  Carey and the chop had flattened out . I had some lovely long reaches there and back.. Starting to wear out though..

 Came in and it was getting a bit stronger so I rigged the Windtech with the new fin. I also put the Wizmount on . I didn't want to fall in as usually that makes the go pro flop and finishes the footage. it was pretty marginal and i only planed occasionally  but I made it above the point and back. The board felt glued to the water on the way back and there was a lot of pull on my body. I just put it down to the design and not being enough wind. ..until I fell in and I noticed a pile of weed on the fin.. Took it off , waterstarted and the board just took off.. Grr It could have been a great session if I'd thought to drop in and clear the fin..

 Coming back was a hoot !   I was running just upwind of Lajos . I just checked and the camera worked.. yay!

When I first took the windtech out I couldn't believe the ride..I know I go on but after being on the slalom board and feeling every lump this thing just floated around like an airbed in the slop , so fun and comfy..Except for the fact that it probably wouldn't fit  in the van I could be really tempted by a larger Windtech freeride board for lighter conditions..

 Lots out racing and freesailing / foiling.

Great day although I don't think I've seen such thick lines of weed - much thicker strands than usual.

 I'm looking forward to another go with the new fin in less weed. I think it's going to get me going earlier and get me upwind better as planned.
