Got to the river around 6pm,
Nice 15-20 knots, rig sail, prepare brand new board for first use.
Hit water, Yeehar !!
Bear away, fin starts humming ?, I crank a big bear away, fin starts really humming.
Mmmm, I thought I spent a good hour fiddling with this fin!
Very hard to initiate a gybe, a few tail walks !!, Oh dear I hope this new board ain't a lemon.

Wind drops, session over.
Put board on ground, have beer.
Friend says, gee that's a big fin you've got for a board that size !
I look, I have put a 42cm fin on my 86 litre board .......

That would explain the whistling, and I still got a 29 knot maximum.

The board pointed upwind really well though.
Done anything dumber
