Tabou Manta 71, NP RSR Evo XV 7.4m, Elmo SS 42cm Green.

Novara, got down the run first thing in the morning at 0930hrs and shotgunned the conditions to all and sudry.

Rigged the same as yesterday as it looked around the same, but was expecting it to fade.

Annie and Paul got down and I advised them to use the same kit, unfortunately for them they listened to me.

Went out expecting to be underdone, got on the board and hooked in, woo hoo, Lots  of breeze which appreared to be coming through mostly above the water so it didn't look all that windy but was.

Lots of fun, nice lines of chop so able to send a bit, new fin is still going well.

I was getting some good pace (for me) accross the chop, made better after a touch more downhaiul and the mast base being shifted about 3mm forward.

Eventually my conscience got the better of me (I was supposed to be sorting out a new solar HWS today) and decided to pack it in, it was a bit light over by Ward point but filled in on the way back so decided a final send was in order so I sent it, was going great guns in the 29's when over the back of some chop I went the board decided it didn't want to stay on the water, much wrestling, much freckle clenching and anticipation of a imminent catapult/destruction when my arse make a very effective brake and  thank goodeness for the freckle clencthing as an enema was on the cards even with the wetsuit.

Everybody had fun, even joined by Hardcore Hardy sailing well overpowered on his wingydingythingy who also came in with a well satified look on his face.

Good times
