Belmont Bay (Slipways), NSW, AU Foil Evo, 7.0 How good are spring Nor'easters whoo hoo, turned out to be pretty strong - Good to sail with MattyD who is killing it on the foil

Corlette, NSW, AU NE 18-20 knts at high with waves. Wow, big learning curve in the swell keeping speed low playing safe. Sailing mates Mitch on foi; and Ian on a slapper. Next time ill use a 4.0 in the same breeze.

SS 125, 76 wing Maui 4.7 legend.

So...the first kiss of summer!

I like it..l like it...  

Not quite the usual NE ..perhaps a touch of esterly in it..all l know that it was more patchy than usual but who is the fussy customer! !

Used my 86 w board with the 900 wing and a 7m Turbo.

Give me more..

10-20kts ENE-NE Coal Point, NSW, AU

 5.7m Severne gator - WT64 - 32cm WT weedy

 then 85ltre Magic Bullit waveboard with 20cm centre fin

 First NE of the season..Tongue out Rigged the freeride sail with the plan to change to the waveboard if / when it came in.. First 3/4hr I was underpowered and only got going in the strongest gusts but then it kicked in a notch and was great..Tongue outTongue out

 I thought a NE would be a snack after sailing Westerlies.. in many ways it was but it's still a bit scary when you're over at Carey well powered , the wind racks up another 5kts and you head home bearing  away down the chop..Tongue outSurprised

 First consistently powered sail I've had on the WT64..boy it's easy to get upwind when the wind is consistent. Had some magic fully powered runs down from Carey down past Coal skipping over the top of the chop..Tongue out Nm Board PB..

A great run towards Green Point..I had to go below a few yachts that were coming towards me ..I passed about 30m below and got carried away and said hello and waved.. then fell in as the wind shadow got me..Undecided Dur I'm usually pretty good at handling them but I clear forgot..Laughing

Came in and got the waveboard. I should have put a larger centre fin in but I was too lazy. It went well, I just had to remember to not put any pressure on the back foot.

 I quit a bit earlier than usual as I'd been on a bushwalk in the am so I was a bit tired..

 Nice to see so many slalom / fin boards out..I'd forgotten how fast and impressive the good guys are , jaw droppingly good..

Byron ( foil at first then fin), Andrew , Lajos , Gert , Hugh on fins and Aiden on the windwing ( and later fin?) John on the foil plus a few others..

I'm looking forward to some more consistent wind so I can start finetuning my gybes..

I went home sold my 87ltre  Isonic and bought a WT57 - 90ltres ( which should be unreal on days like today!)

Great NE today! Will post tomorrow. 

Colette can get pretty gnarly wind opposed tide..I still remember sailing there back in the 90s.I  thought it was pretty radical and that's back when I used to sail in the surf..
