Pete (15599km):
60 days ago Christchurch Estuary, NZ ..Forecast wind eventually arrived as the tide was getting very low. ..Lost fin bolts for my slalom board so went with:
Carbon Art OKE wave 82 + Severne Mach2 7.0 + 2 x 38 degree swept fins ..seemed to work OK control wise, managed a couple of gybes, but was getting stuck in weed every which way.
..came in managed to find some spare bolts the right length
Carbon Art Slalom 82 + Severne Mach2 7.0 + Tribal 18/14.5
..now very powered up with my 7.0, and feeling more fin drag with the Tribal than usual, there's a lot of weed these days! ..felt way too risky to gybe, so came in to change down. Between deriggiing 7.0 and rigging 5.0 and despite wearing gloves (tattered) cut a finger, blood everywhere, on all four car door handles, boot lid and 5.0 sail. ..Found a plaster and a cheap left hand gardening glove with no holes in it. ..By now I've missed most of some very nice windsurfing conditions, but anyway went back out and still had a nice bit of sailing with the 5.0
