Great sail today wind F4-5 (18-20kts) Easterly with decent size waves, nice and warm / sunny. Several out most on 7.0M ish, on 100-130L Freerides.
Bought a 2012 7.8 North Natural on Ebay last year but never used it till today. Didn't fancy my 7.7 twin cam H2 slalom sails in the big lumps for waterstarts so hoped the rotational sail would work on a Pryde mast! Rigged great on X6 -460M with 146 Pro ed Excite ride and great for blasting reaching from Golf end in the kits zone all the way down to near the Fludyers point. Its not the fastest sail I have used (probably need a North mast - but its easy, user friendly and light in hand – another nice Ebay purchase
The sea was nice as you could run up/down the onshore waves right thru the middle riding high and low - fantastic on a freeride board.
Packed up just after 4 as the tide was now well in running to the point, and didn't want to do the walk of shame. Top sail today for me, but waveheads Paul and Strawberry decline the sailing as not enough wind.
Warmed up nicely for Sunday and having dropped just 3 gybes well happy the long layoff (no wind) didn’t affect me much.
