Twas exciting,

Got splatted on my first run, after that it was just a mater of clenching tighter

I don't know how strong it got but the 6.2 was getting a bit of a hand full

One day I'm gonna have to invest in some smaller sails

I came back to give Crasher's coffee table back, all I could see was Elmo's sail fanging along in the distance...

If a 4.5 was a handful for me then I have no idea how you managed to stay upright with a 6.2!

I got smashed with a 5.8 on the river. The longest I was standing was for around 300metres... the wind was all over the place very messed up and hard no matter what size you had I reckon. I was doing aqua aerobics most of the time

Only got 2 runs in, (2.9km) before I hit a patch of weed and destroyed my harness.
My shortest session ever.

I lasted about two minutes in SB with 3.7.
Just checked the graphs and it was between 30 and 49 kn when I was there. Not the brightest idea I've had this week...
Even rigging up was a challenge
