A nice early morning session. Well powered up with my 6.3m and big board...
It felt strange at first sailing big kit again as I haven't used that
combination for a while. I know at just over 80 litres the board isn't that
big, but its heavy and at 265cm quite long by todays standards so it feels
big, and with the upright 34cm fin it is a very directional board.. Still,
once I got abck into it I remembered why it was so much fun. Nice
comfortable sailing, able to reallty lean back against the power of the
rig, load up the fin and just get faster and faster a the apparent wind
increases.
A good session of flat out blasting, espeically on the way back in when I
could bear away down the face of the swells and just go for it.... Mind you
with the big fin, wave-riding wasn't up to much.
