Lockdown project nearly completed, refurbished 2010 W58 speed special wood. Negative tail rocker filled and faired out before the UK lockdown.

Good stuff, similar to the old RRD slaloms.
I have a 227 x 55 flat tail rocketed board for lighter winds. Kinda too short.
Also mostly ride a 255 x 55 flat rocketed board. Really good for most sailing.
JP Slalom 84 and Naish Freeride 85.

Yeah, but I like rocketed, seems appropriate some how, didn't quite hit 30kts on it yesterday, but I'm sure it will do more

Been foiling 5 days out of the last 6 :)



We all envy you right now! We have good wind currently here, but air temps are still too cold. I'm hoping the weather will hold true for next week, then it will be doable.


Oh it's been cold here too, I mean it was only 25 degrees Celsius here the other day, so I had to get my winter wetsuit out.

I'll start putting the "winter wetsuit" on at 25 fahrenheit

Went sailing in backyard, a bit gusty, but better than staying inside



Next day, got my son out on a windsurfer.

Bought a bigger WT.
I bought a 85ltre Magic Bullit to use in 20kts plus but I like it so much I've been using it our patchy 10-20kts..It's fun but obviously likes 15- 18kts plus best.
I'll now have the 112ltre WT64 Silver Bullit freeride version for our more common patchy 5 - 20kts..
I'll be good for 5- 30kts now..

Finally, tomorrow it starts warming up, and a whole week, if not more days are in the upper 50s, 60s and some low 70s, and NW winds 10-20 mph every day! I can't wait to get out on the water!

emptied the van, going to reorganize it, add some lighting, rust treatment/revention
also painted bits and pieces bright pink so I don't forget them at the beach





















What's with all the pink?

I tend to forget all those small bits and pieces on the grass at the beach, with the flashy pink they're easy to spot when I do my little check before heading home, and ..... not everyone is honest ... so it's easy to prove it's my screwdriver, torx key, extension, etc.. with that colour (and everyone also knows that forgotten pink stuff at the beach is mine )!

A beautifully, fit woman walked by me at the grocery store wearing pink leggings today. Yay for pink!

i have had a fair amount of time on the weekend to finish off my trailer that I have been planning for years and building for the last 10 months. It was meant to be ready for the beginning of LG season in October2019 but I only got around to getting it close now.

Loaded it up on the weekend with 9 boards 10 sails and 6 booms plus camping gear, it will make life a lot easier especially when it comes time to pack up after a weekend away and the bed on the left beats sleeping in a tent.

Clever!
BTW, I think I spotted a mechanical joint. Is it just a spare or you actually use it?
