WOW.
I went out on a Xantos and a 6.5 and just got blown away. The wind in the
bay was good so I hooked in and got planning and locked into the straps. As
I left the bay I hit the wind line and just took off. I've never been so
fast. I did a huge jump, well for me, and I landed it ok, but on the next
wave I lost it and got a massive spin out. The board was planing sideways
and I just hung on until I started to slow down.
Having scared myself silly, I went back and changed down to a 5.5. Sarah
was on a 5.5 as well, and she tried a Bic Techno, a Fanatic Bee and a
Starboard carve 145.
I had a great sail, just blasting around having a whale of a time.
On the way in I met Simon, so I followed him and started shouting to help
him. He just took off and got straight into the straps (for the first
time). It was brilliant, well done Simon.
