Distance Covered:

A sail of two halves today. Very well powered up on my 5.2 rigged flat. Initially felt good and all was going well. Some nice jups, gybes and generally good sailing. Most of all I was in completely the right frame of mind for the session - well fired up and really going for it. But then about half way through suffered a huge fully planing catapult. Whilst hooning along at full speed back to the beach, a bit of chop caught the front of my board and pushed it downwind, pulling me forwards and sending me flying over the front whilst still hooked in. Understandably this slightly knocked the stuffing out of me and for the rest of the session after that things didn´t go so well. Shame, since the conditions were mighty fine and it all started so well. So only 3 stars.
