11 hours ago 1 categories  5-24kts WNW - W Peely Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU - level 0.46 no flatwater
5.5m Mach2 - RS2 ( 90ltres) - 22cms Atomic
Got there early and measured 10-20kts WNW - stuffed around and it died to nothing then it came back in.
I was worried how my leg would go. It was 8/10 pain driving down but survived sailing ok.
I went for the 90 for the lulls and I wanted to make it easier to start because of my leg. Very strong down the bottom . I would have enjoyed the 5m - 80 better.
The big board was scary in the gusts and I was very overpowered. Did one bearaway and intended to turn up into the point to stop but I was too close so I ejected off the back and had to chase the board.
No worries, but it must have looked spectacular as Mitch came up to check on me ( thanks) and later Greg said he was worried I'd hit bottom.
22cm was ok although it collected bucketloads of weed slogging back when it died to 5-8kts.
Happy my leg survived and that's a good speed for me in choppy conditions.
Mitch went back out later as it kicked back in.
