Had a brilliant day on big kit 150lt techno 7.0 sail .Blasts across harbour
nearing 2 miles! flat at either end with overpowerd and swelly bit in the
middle. I got the hang of unhooking while staying on the plane and hitting
the ramps full speed and getting "almost" controled air not very high but
have to start somewhere. Managed loads of dry gybes in both directions.
Was one of them days where everything really clicked into place, Ive even
managed to start really shortening my harness lines down to 24 in lines now
and still got boom at above shoulder height. Even got the hang of pumping
the board while still in the straps and harness. Would of liked to be on
smaller board but there was few lulls and my technque on smaller board is
still "bad"
4 Stars cos I still can't plane out of gybes was great get even a little
air and be sort of controled
