154 - The wind seemed consistent on shore but was fairly light and had big holes.  Just went out to see if the larger board would work.  Not a very good test day but did manage to plane part way through each run, no power at the ends though.  The board didn't seem to plane as fast as hoped for but on a plane it felt light, jibes were slow but it may have more potential with a little less marginal wind, ie. summertime flatwater cruiser.  .
