Shearwater was awesome today! those that ventured out Im sure all had an awesome hit, wind was measured at 37 knots peak. the 5.8 ALpha was just a tad big
but nothing a truckload of downhaul couldnt fix to at least stay on the water. Needed to catch an arvo snooze on the lounge after 3hrs of blasting. Awesome!!
Fantastic day, I'm stuffed now. Often overpowered on my 5.0 for most of the day, good to get a sense of your own mortality as well: I had a massive catapult (first one in ages) and was surprised that my brain hadn't dribbled out my ears when I came to.
Just when everyone else had packed up, Junior Freestyle and I had a fantastic last hour's session, perfect 18-20 knot winds, him doing all manner of spinney things, me just trying to crack that elusively subtle carve gybe. What a classic shearwater day
