Enormously windy afternoon at Waikowhai. JLC was even on a 3.7 with a 71 litre board! I was somewhat overpowered in a 4.7, but not by much and usually it was fine. Was just hard to ride with all the chop. Tried hard at my jibes, no lack of wind, but did make only one of them I think. Really hard with all this chop and wind.

Got one pretty high jump, really felt like flying, but didn't recover from that one. But a couple of other jumps went ok. Good session to learn my 80 litre a little bit better.
