Wind Journal for Berend de Boer -- Saturday April 22, 2006 , 12:30p-2:00p -- See All

13th session in 2006
Sailed at Auckland, Eastern Beach
Wind from the NE (knots)
        lulls: 7
        average: 10
        gusts: 13
Rated a 1 of 10

Board: Starboard Carve 99 2004 Wood
Sail: NP Saber 6.2 2005
Fin: Drake Freeride 320
Suit: Short sleeve.

Another attempt. Didn't take the big board as the website where I check the tides was down. At low tide it's a long walk, so I decided just to take the light board. Unfortunately the wind didn't really pick up and I could barely beach start. Waterstart was out of the question.

Should have taken the big board because it was high tide and it would probably have been ok with the 7.2. 8.5 would have been perfect, but I'm still waiting for the new mast to arrive.
