Perhaps best time ever on the Carve. And for the first time I really carved a jibe, yippie! And not only one, a couple of times. Made almost all of my jibes actually. One of things I'm doing wrong is that I lower my mast, should keep that upright.

Perfect time at Bucklands Beach, consistent winds, not gusty, no slack, just continual planing, racing, jibing, and back. Getting the board out of the water is hard, the chop is very short, made one good one, don't think others really succeeded.
