Winds North to northeasterly 15 to 20 knots becoming northerly 20 to 30 knots around dawn. Winds easing in the afternoon to 20 knots.

What's your board of choice for tomorrow Lacey?the new 14 LK ? I'm keen for a second run on the DC Mundji so see you at Sandy DJ if the winds up.

Why.. Are you having tracking issues?

camo i'm able to keep the fin right up on my lh 12'6 but it was different on the 14'. lh boards have there fin setups a lot farther forward then any other boards i've seen. in saying that the fin is only 8. 25 inches and not much tip. all the fin area would add up to not much more area then a 9" hatchet fin. dw ed today. board goes unreal and i'm really pleased with the fin setup. real instant positive turning and gets a bit of whip about too. i had kelly paddle the 12'6 in and out he said there is definitely something there


dj i like the drive the board gets and steers so much better in wakes, surfs more positive. then you get hit be side chop it's softer and you move forward rather then just get pushed sideways two feet

i'm rapt at how hard i can cutback and rebound my 12'6 with this setup. its got some real feel about it rather then that doughy feeling single fin 12'6's have

cheers

ps here is the first time i tried it on a race board

Over 30 knots up your way today Lacey, sounds like the crew had a good day catching runners, and yer don't like getting pushed sideways by cross chop which usually means going for a swim to so be good to try those side fins sometime although not needed as much for the bay runs here as its mostly lined up,

DJ I might be pushing for 8, more like 20 past
