In this sport you got to take it while you can... This low past over mighty quickly, but fortunately it was timed for us weekend warriors. Forecast was 30 knots plus, but when I arrived at the beach it was only blowing 22 knots. So I rigged a 4.7m. Should have gone smaller!
Still first time out on the RRD WaveCult 85 and loving it. Much looser that the FSW - noticeable even on the flat water we had to day. There was a point where just about all the sailors went over to the sandbar so I headed over thinking I was missing something. I wasn't. Tiny windswell breaking all over the place in random directions. Enough to make you sea sick. The WaveCult was also great for jumping, although it's so short I had to watch I didn't nose dive the landing. Managed that a couple of times. Ouch. Still, am sure I'll get used to it...
Fantastic session all in all, hopefully the first of many this autumn.
Oh and I wore my new Ion 5:4 winter suit. Boy was that warm ;-)
