Lancelin, WA, AU – late sea breeze, 7,2 and 120l was a bit too much some of the time.

First sea breeze for me, good “15-20”, used 5.8 Koncept and Sonic 95

Just sailed in the bay but had to stop when I was too tired to control the sail properly.

got the teams 2s and 5s for the month – only time this year and first time ever that I got the 2s

An interesting early morning swim at Pt Walter, got to visit the Claremont museum but unfortunately it wasnt open. Many thanks to JJ for the lift back to Pt Walter, the only other option involved ringing my wife at 9am and asking for a lift (wouldnt have been popular). And congrats on your speed !

CA Speed and Koncept 5m – only did one run timed it perfectly for the nuking wind to turn of.

After warming up I decided to go to Melville and had a short and gusty sail there on the Sonic 95 with a 5.8, at times too windoy and at times not enough. But had “got back on the horse”, Numbers are all from there, didnt worry to post the 5km of body dragging and swimming

Point Walter, got there too late (as JJ says if Marks packing up its over.

Light wind combo isonic 120 and koncept 7.3

planing some of the time, by the end couldnt uphaul any more. Good exercise, lovely sunny afternon and the river was beautiful, until the parade of motor boats turned it into a roller coaster. But good to get some time on the water and some practice with the new board, have to unlearn some small board habits to use it properly.

Ended up getting sick (cold/flu asthma chill) – took weeks to get better !

Safety Bay – embarrassing to be so slow – but no point denying it.

couldnt get enough water to sail in, was dragging fin a lot of the time.

Melville iSonic 120 , KA 7.3

All sorts, between standing on a becalmed board to waiting for the rain to stop and 10m visibility and a lot in between. Uphauled again, more than once today

Melville Beach, WA, AU

5.8 koncept

sonic 95 27 choco

good at first but then too much for a bit then it dropped of (so pretty normal)

sonc 120 – 5.8 too small but did get it planing when the wind came in. then put the 95 back but not really enough for that.

great to get wet and say hi to a few people

Melville Beach, WA, AU – tried out the 120 isonic, 7.3 koncept. Good (some of the time), and did uphaul it once just to prove I can

Point Walter, morning. Spent most of the day driving around, apart from the bit where I rigged up the 7.3 and didnt get going.

Then the second bit (afternoon) where I went and bought a 120l Isonic, all keen to try it out, rigged up the 7.3 at Melville and broke my mast (DOH – put the bottom half on the wrong way round Embarassed) – so pretty unsuccesful. Went home not happy. Bought new bottom half of ezzy mast so not as bad as it could have been.

Good news is I can replace just the half that broke (I think thats good news) – and I suppose I could cut of the bottom 30 cm (where its cracked) and have an unsafe 430 . I know the reinforcement would all be in the wrong spot, I wont do that.

Point Walter, WA, AU – first try with the 7.4 Koncept, nice sail but I think the 95 sonic and 37 fin were a bit small for the lulls, couldnt get upwind to the clear air so kept putting about down to the sand bar and then working back to where I started. Nice to get out anyway !
