Still getting the kinks out. Got there early since things are supposed to get hot around here this weekend and go easterly. Wind had been blowing pretty good around Bingen, less so at the Event Site. I thought it would fill in so rigged the 5.5 with the big board (this time I had the wave board as well). It was puffy, so that worked really well to get through the lulls. After an hour it jacked up and I switched to the wave board for the first time this season--sinks a tad more now :-). But I got the hang of it and had some good blasting until my arms gave out. The wind was getting to be too much for the 5.5 by that time anyway. A good day!
