Inverloch

WIND SSW 5-20 kts

 

While the rest of the country has their nose to the grindstone, Evan and I headed to Inverloch.

Wind was light early but came in a bit.

I made a few tweaks to the rig- higher boom position, and mast track slightly further back which made a difference with the feel of the board.

Started on the 6.9 but it was a bit underpowered so went up to the 8.0.  Perfect sail for the conditions.  Nice and powered up.

Still having a bit of trouble getting into the back strap but time on water will fix that!!!

 

So good to have the run to ourselves...thank god holidays are over!!!!

 

GEAR:

JP Xcite Ride 135 ltr

38 Mean fin

NP Excess 6,9 up to NP V8 8.0

Day off & a trip to Inverloch with Mick. 12-16 knots maybe? Bit light all day but as Mick said, it picked up a little in the afternoon.

Great results and PBs Mick.

I have the same board for lighter wind and sail a 46cm JP Supersport fin, which frequently gets stuck on the sandbanks at lowish tide. How is your Mean fin with spin outs?

BTW heading down that way tomorrow, likely Sandy Point.

Hey Jak,

I haven't had any dramas with it yet...it does feel a bit skatey and want to slide a bit compared to the 42 Jp Supersport fin but I quite like the looseness.

Big breezes,

Mick
