Great fun!
5x10 Lake Macquarie PB, good 2 sec and an ok alpha for the conditions..must be pretty close to a location distance PB too..WT57 2 sec PB for Lake Macquarie
1st use of the Turbo and try of the RDM mast . Really nice , light , stable , rotates great..Lovely combo with that board. I think it will become a favourite.
Started out a little patchy but nicely powered in the gusts. I wore myself out wearing the Wizmount for the first hr or so..
Gybes were a bit dodgy at first but as the wind came in I started to get them..not pretty but dry.. I need to get my weight further forward and keep pressure on the inside rail plus flip earlier..
I didn't notice the chop much. There were a few rollers forming at the peak but some nice flatter areas which were great if you could line up a decent gust.
I was pretty tired by the time it got good . The board was getting a bit flighty so I got the 24cm fin out to change down. grr It needs packing under the front.. so I put the 28cm back in a and added extra tail flex c 80%..that did the job.
At times everything felt really light , comfy and just right.. Pushed through the fatigue . I was hoping for some flatwater along the shore for gybes but there wasn't any. It turned a bit more SSE , got patchy and I was only getting going occasionally so I called it quits..
I love that place when it works..
Just me for the first 2 hrs then Dave learning on a formula board , Jeff foiling , Steve on a wingding and another person on a foil.
