After a couple of aborted attempts and some sitting around on the beach waiting for wind I was just about to give up when I noticed some white-caps coming our way so decided to have one last go. It was still a little marginal to start with but I got on the plane and was managing to hold my ground upwind. Over the next couple of hours the wind just gradually increased the whole time with the sun shining. Steve and I had some beautiful long runs right next to each other all the way across to Graveyards and back. Just perfect, well powered up skimming over the blue waters at speed with the sun shining.

The Sputnik is certainly a challenging board to sail and it really feels every little bit of chop, but on the flat bits it is pretty quick. It jumps quite well too with one notable pretty big jump with Steve right behind me.

More of the same tomorrow please.
