Crap really :( with a breeze forecast from dinner time on we were getting excited as it's been so'oooooooooooo poor this year and I am 20 sessions down on this time last year !!! With 14 mph on the gauge I was keen to try the Isonic 135 so rigged the 8.5 with the winds supposed to build.I had a few runs and the isonic does pick up on the plan quickly :) but if anything the wind dropped :( in for lunch,let Steve Carter have ago and then tried again as the wind increased a little.I beat easily to the Manor in the se wind but on turning around the wind turned sw and increased to 20 + I made it about half way back but gave up knackered and decided to walk home and get my bike and ride to The Dip.Here Peter Cutts was rigging 5.7 !!! I rigged a 5.6 and took the wizzard out for afew runs but was way under powered !!! so packed up and picked my isonic up on the way !!! I think I need a few tips from my formula mates on how to sail the big board really broad ???? So clouldy with a little rain and cool !!! well it is August after all and I suppose thats it for wind for another month :(
