Got there while tehre was still 12-15 kts, btu lost teh bloody pin for my extension, didn't I amd spent 30mins faffing around fixing a solution.
Finally got ont the water in about 6 kts, but I had a new board, and no way was I going home without getting it wet.
Copped a tiny gust of about 10-12 kts, and actually got planing for 100m, and cracked a gybe.
So, a test flight about as long as the Kitty Hawk, and every bit as successful and satisfying.
I love my new board. Anything that can get planing in that sparrow fart is plain awesome !!!
