Board: Carve 111
Sail: 5.4 Infinity
Fin: 32cm Starboard Free Ride
Suit: Full, Shortie
Water Temperature: 69 F

Started in full suit and wasn't convinced it was really that windy. The suit was too hot and the arms too tight. Add that it was really as windy as it looked and my arms were shot in an hour. So, I changed to my shortie and put some downhaul on the 5.4 and that worked great. Another 90 minutes of overpowered ripping. Unfortunately, my board is going soft in front of the rear footstraps again. Time for a new one.
