Distance Covered:

Good session for the first couple of hours, well powered on 5.5m. Cracked some nice gybes and then starting practising duck gybes. Managed one, but it was all over the place... but a duck gybe none the less.

5 or 6 other people out which was nice to see.

Wind started to drop as forecast, so rigged 6.25m got another good hour. The Storm 6.25m feels very heavy compared to the 5.5m and if anything feels just as heavy as the T2 7.5m

With the tide static I kept picking up loads of sea weed on the fin which really slowed me down. Intensely annoying as only way to shake it was to jump off the board.

Rocket board definitely kicks a** on flat water. I was planning about easily when others were struggling. Also v quick - I was going just as fast, if not faster than a flow on the water
