Hard to tell how much wind there was, but there was sufficient and it was consistent. Halfway there was so much wind that I even switched from the 6.2 Carve 99 to the 5.2 Carbon Art. Hadn't tried that combination before, but it worked perfectly. It's so much easier to jump this lighter board, great stuff.

Had a really good jump with the Carve. Jibing wasn't a success. Pretty rough. But windy and sunny, great.
