Arrived there amidst a thunderstorm so waited for it to pass and then me
and jeff rigged 4.7 sails. Jeff got going first and was managaing fine with
his screamer. He then came in after a couple of runs for his F2 wave board.
I got going and was at times underpowered and then sometimes perfectly
powered up.
It was a southerly so are runs were very short as were crossing the river -
probably 250m and then gybe back. The wind was very up and down and at
times I was hanging on for my life. On one run, I was screaming along and
was jumping some nice little waves that were forming. I then did an
unintentional forward loop and wiped out much to the amusement of jeff who
was nearby. I jumped a few feet into the air and didn;t lean back enough.
The front dugin which rotated me round with the top of the mast slamming on
to the water. A good wipeout and was pretty confused to what had just
happened.
Sailed after sunset to about 6:20pm when it was almost pitch black. Was
good to get out again after a week and a hlaf of the water.
