Another 4 star session for me, even with dramas during the day. Getting fed up of rigging 2 sails, 2 boards and lugging them down to the beach. Wind kicked in late but had great runs on H2 8.7 / 146L excite ride pro. Running a 50cm MFC for 2 years now but am beginning to dislike its irritating was of not working in swell, either gybing or working the lip in between the swell. It always lose grip in any foam, yet a 48cm MFC free ride sail holds great.
Tried to get to the point for a downwind burn up but too bumpy and wind went light. The guys found a body in the sea damped the day so decided to rig the Phantom long bd lugged it to the beach and yep the wind returned! back to short bd. However now intend buying wheels to lug the longbd. Gybing is coming on great - now I have totally converted to step gybes instead of strap to strap. 3 out of 4 is now the norm instead of 50/50. The north shoxs mast foot works a treat when slamming in the rough river mouth, with the recoils on the 2014 model much smoother than the old one.
Sunny quite a few out with kites / windsurfing another nice Sat afternoon.
