The first 30km was next level with east 1.5m
swell, underlying South swell, the wind and then add 100 boats trying to find their rider. if you came down there's almost no chance of getting going again. Then toward China walls the wind backed right off and a few came down. Heard stories of 30 min off foil for some. I stayed really really south and foiled that section. My bad luck came at the end where I fell twice then a boat cut me off and they were trawling a hook that hooked my mast and I got belted. After that was too cooked to get up to the finish. Had two more solid goes at getting going and couldn't. Lost 15 min and 11 spots but overall what an epic race. There will be many many stories to come from everyone. Total race time for me Including the shocker at the end 3:14
i used 8'12 barracuda and Lift HAX 150
