Good to see you got out to brave the conditions. I had a go here but it was hopeless. Very gusty, average about 15 but the gusts were over twice that up to 32-33 knots. Just not sure what you can use when it gets like that.
By the way, I'm guessing that was Paul doing the last gybe?? I've got to admit, Ben, yours are quite stylish and quite entertaining.

Yes Rodd, definitely Pauls Jybe. I still have only jybed a short board once in all my millions of attempts... but keep trying I will

Just had a look at the readings from the East coast and yeah.... looks like you had some tough conditions too. A gust of +15 knots is not so bad when your already planning but when your water starting or trying to get in the straps they flatten you every time

Don't worry Ben, I know I have a go at you occasionally?? but I do know how hard our sport is to learn, you'll be showing me up one day I know. Just don't be too hard on the old bloke when that happens.
