Super low tide so used the Manta 98 and delta 22 and evo 6.6 combo for a little more float. The fins now a 21 so that's how low it was today. A few fun runs with Ant and Flex and stoked the board repair worked using car bog. removed a negative rocker and it certainly made the board accellerate quicker and more responsive. Had a couple of nice gusts across the middle without chop for a change. Felt longer without having to pull up so early like normal in a higher tide. Most fun. Lining up the exit of the pond.

Great little session in the pond with Woody and Jim.Tide was super low so needed to plan out of the jibes to avoid hitting the bottom.A couple of nice squirts came through to power up the 6.2 NX,91 RS2,20 DS.

Coodanup, WA, AU.  Arrived to nice 15knots so rigged 7.8 and headed out.  Before getting to pond wind died but headed over.  Chugged around with fin dragging lots and then wind came.   Some crazy looney started whistling at me from the boardwalk so I stayed away from that area (turns out was Antman).   Then wind really booted in and was over cooked, depowered the sail as best I could but still way too much so decided to change down.  Sailed out the outlet, cleared the fence, well chuffed with myself, hooked in and powered up only to ground out and do full power catapult/face plant, bent the boom (again).  Got to the car park and Antman and Woody rigging up.  Rigged 6.5 and was much better but tide so low had to keep the gybes planning else fin would anchor in.  The weed had grown considerably since last session as was vivid golf green grass in the main speed run area.  Went through a few times but wind not great close to the sandfire.  Wind shifted more south around 1ish and best wind was with a squall around then.    Found a whole bunch more rocks but the fangy fin sucked them all up no worries.  Wind was up and down a lot.  Antman and Woody gave up in the next lull so sailed out the outlet again (way slower with mega weedburgs this time).   Was gonna call it when as soon as past the fence the wind kicked in and got a few more runs in.  Then wind died, chugged back to car park, then kicked in again so did some more.  This continued for a while then called it since Ant and Woody had taken off.  Rigged down and wind seem to be more consistent, considered rigging 7.8 again but the thumb was a bit sore from the prang so called it.  Conditions were near perfect for distance though when I left, good direction and flat.  120 Tabou Rocket, 7.8 Severne Overdrive M2 then 6.5 Severne Turbo M4, FF22

Should gone longer to regain my jelly bean.  5Km woulda done it.  Easy to say of course.   Here's a video courtesy Reg sunning himself.  I didn't see any Chooks on the pond today but plenty of ducks.....whicih begs the question:- why Chook pond?

"Chook" is just generic for bird, in this case. Good distance, Flex.
