Second day at the demo and although we awoke to a steady F4, by the time we
arrived at the beach there was nothing.
At 11.00am though the wind suddenly filled in from the NW to 18-20 knots so
a scamble for demo kit followed in which I ended up with a JP Xite ride
135.
Took me a while to adjust the rig, raise boom adjust lines, adjust
footstraps so I lost a bit of time whilst the wind was ok. Anyway the board
felt really nice planed early and was a really nice ride compared to my
existing Thommen race board. This was happy with the 6.4m I was using and
reasonably lively considering its size. I'm not sure I'd be comforable with
my cammed 9.0m on this at the coast but probably would be inland. But its
good fun with mid range sails at the coast so could be a good chioce for me
for 6.5 - 8.5m weather. Nice board.
The wind dropped off after a while but I was shattered from the previous
two days anyway so sat in the sun chatting for a while before heading home
at a decent time. Good weekend....
