Had an absolute Ball tearer session yesterday, best session ever (inc waves). The breeze was just so consistant

Couldn't put a foot wrong Cavitated a fin doing 66.2kmh in a foot of water, sailed sideways for about 50 nervous metres, corrected then back onto the power.

Speeds just kept getting higher and higher, everything went right

Still Buzzing

Yep

The deep water part the end of run was less than waste deep.
Where I cavitated was just going into the fast bit, it's less than knee deep and on lower tides you can hit the bottom, the weed was floating only an inch or 2 below the surface.

Was only running a 23cm Elmo weedy so bottoming out would have been spectacular

Was great fun

Took a run to Lano with a mate and sailed with a 4.7 and only about a dozen or so other - mostly European - sailors. Very refreshing to have the place not so crowded and plenty of wind although I could've gone up a size at about 4 o'clock when the wind backed off a touch.
Had a great time with the odd bigger sets coming through.
