Nice and windy again today and it felt as though winter was here. I wited
until about 4pm to go to the beach, waiting for the winds and rain to ease
a bit. When I got there Derek was out with his 5m Wipika again and Chris
was hanging around waiting for the wind to drop.
I would have rigged my 5m and wave board but as I broke it yesterday along
with my mast had to go with a 4.5m sail instead. I used my voodoo as it was
still set up for use on a 430 mast from the last time I broke my 400cm mast
and 5m sail!. Its not as nice as my 4.5m Gun Wave MC, but I couldn't be
bothered to adjust the head on that one so went for the voodoo.
Once on the water I was nicely powered up and made some massive jumps off
the big clean swells out the back. I was never completely comfortable with
the sail, probably because it was on the wrong mast as well, but still had
a good hour well powered up amongst the swell. Darren came out to join me
after a while, but before long the wind just died. it went from a solid 25
knots to next to nothing.... Needless to say I sank and had a bit of a
drift/swim home and then a long walk of shame!
Still, it was good while it lasted.
