30th session in 2007
Sailed at Auckland, Bucklands Beach
Wind from the W (knots)
        lulls: 12
        average: 15
        gusts: 18
Rated a 10 of 10
Board: Starboard Carve 99 2004 Wood
Sail: NP Saber 6.2 2005
Fin: Drake Freeride 280
Suit: XCel 4/3 infinity x-zip.
Air Temperature: 16 C

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.
