Thursday August 16, 2007

38th session in 2007
Sailed at Doug's Beach, WA
Wind from the W (mph)
        lulls: 29
        average: 32
        gusts: 35
Rated a 9 of 10

Board: F2 Wave 259
Sail: 4.5 Gaastra Charger, The Robby Naish 4.0
Fin: Wave fin
Suit: 3/2 Shorty
Water Temperature: 69 F
Air Temperature: 82 F

Held down the 4.5 for just about the whole day. Some huge swell to coast down on for jibes on the inside. It ramped up towards the end of the day and I couldn't do hardly anything with the 4.5 even with flattened, so switched to the 4.0. Probably was the right day for it, but rigged full my mast was waaaay to stiff. One of the battens wouldn't rotate coming back in making sailing pretty interesting. Plus the wind got kind of evil with bigger gusts and lulls.

So, tired but happy, I packed it in. I went and bought a 370 skinny for the 4.0 for the next time. No more cut down 460!
