Nice evening windsurfing, although the lulls were a bit long. Big sail carried me well although I'm still fighting a bit with the proper harness line placement. Length is now ok, put it at 28" instead of 30", that's perfect. I almost completed a full carving jibe with he 8.5! Went through most jibes quite well, but this was probably mainly due to winds that were not too strong and only a little chop.

I might need a bigger fin though, a few guys still screamed past me. One guy on a Carve 151 with a 8 metre HotMaui sail. But his fin was much longer, might need that for earlier planing and speed. And of course his board was lighter, but there's no money to change that right now.
