Loads off clouds today so it wasn't looking good for the last day.
Surprisingly it turned cross shore at 1 pm but stayed light so I went out
with my other half so as she could practice harness and beach starts whilst
I played on a coolrider.
Later on there were some gusts coming through at F4 and people were planing
on big boards with 9.0 m sails so I took out a Skate 111 with a 5.7 Manic.
A couple of hours of practice and I was popping the board quite respectably
in the gusts but they were short lived. In the lulls I got the hang of
sailing in the footstraps off the plane (Geckos maybe?) but it certainly
knackers your front arm.
The end of another Vass trip but I seem to have got off the plateau again.
Well worth it even if the wind doesn't always play.
