This is more like it. I have joined into the raceboard regatta which we have hosted at our club. I have used a slalom/freeride gear and yet did well against the raceboards. Love the old course race.. Huge thanks to my mates lan, Barry and Lyndon that stayed in the boat.

What a difference  a day makes! Fun ! Fun ! Fun!

I've realised I need to sail megapowered. I've adapted my sailing to survive and get upwind well and it's much easier to gybe very powered up.Tongue outTongue out

I've never taken the time to learn how to speedsail sail normally powered. Who cares.. I really enjoy being super powered up.Laughing

A few times I thought I could be on the 6.2m - 80 combo that I had sitting waiting but it was a bit patchy and I was enjoying the ease of sailing powered up.

This is the first session that is starting to look like old times. 

I used to be able to get a nm of 21.5kts with 2 gybes in it..This one is almost 20 with one gybe . The alpha is starting to improve. I wasn't going for alphas I was just enjoying being able to do planing gybes..Tongue out. It makes a big difference having good consistent wind and a flat patch to gybe in.

 There wasn't a lot of flatwater unless you went really high but it was deep enough to be able. Mainly 4 inch rollers. That's a good speed for the fat fangy.

I've got some Atomics on the way so if I can learn to get upwind with them I should be able to get  1 knt or 2 faster.'

The wrist was very painful after but it was worth it!

 Happy happy...insert bouncing icon. I got my 23,000kms too..Cool

 Good to see Frothie again. He's looking well. Plenty of people.

Wing Session number 5 and the first one I actually enjoyed. Starting to feel much more comfortable.

I got a loan of a board for the day from Mick S, which was much appreciated. 

Managed to complete a couple of flying gybes but couldn't manage to sail out in the switch stance.

Also did a couple of runs on Geoff S's windfoiling gear, most numbers are from that.

Nice everyone.
Sue 'what a difference a day makes'!Cool

Andrew was there much chop in the nor easter up there?
I've never tried it in seabreeze, only south east.

I worked, very strong at Jimmies, all had too much power to hanbdle here today.

Mobz,

No the water is reasonably flat, but the Noreasters are rather gusty as the wind has to come over so much land.

I would not go there to sail a NE. But it is a very nice spot to camp.

Thanks Andrew. I live at Hawks Nest and tried it in 25kts NE on SLW from White Tree on the eastern side. Bit brutal!
I've had some success in SE from there. Maybe later in the week if lucky.
The weather has gone upside down now.
We can never bring oursleves to leave Jimmies in the good light Nor easters but keen to try it. I'll be up there for the event Dec 1st.
