Looking windy and xcweather all green so made the drive. As I arrived front came over and it hammered down with rain bringing up to 20 knts. Rigged up, wind dropped down to 8knts and got about 5 seconds of planning on FSW93 + 6.3m. Would I have got planning on 7.5m setup? no. Utter crap.

Don't you just love it when that happens!

Thats why we will never be a main stream sport.
Long drives (minimum of 200 + round trip for most of us), the cost of fuel & the waste of the only day off all take a toll after a while.

Trouble is nothing else comes close when it works
