Oky doky, I haven't time to read all the posts but 10 points for admitting your bad decisions and passing on the info STW. Unfortunately I have to deduct 5 of those on Darwinain scaling adjustments. All the indicators were there you just had the blinkers, earmuffs and blindfolds on. Ever thought about running for parliment?

Definately not wise have a 4 line C in overpowered conditions. Do you have the option of adding a 5th line? If so DO IT! Don't listen to turkeys who say "Oh never ride a 5th line in the surf." BOOLSH!T!! Safet 1st, 2nd and 3rd - minor potential for kite damage a long way behind in 4th. Know-it-all-heros can kiss their @rse goodbye and the nerds will triumph with pocket protectors raised high above the dunes!!
HEy GF we had a huge sesh on Sat, 2 flat out 2 hr sessions was absol feked after it wa son the 7 mtr in the morning & 9 arvi fully lit and smokin . i was watching tony doing a mach 9 toeside on his board before the inevitable happened im thinking the weather is starting to change

not a day for noobs
BTW I am still sporting a sore foot from the last time i said "one more run then pack it in" in cr@ppy conditions 6+ weeks ago... sigh. Wasn't overpowered - rather underpowered with a nasty set with my name on it. I knew as soon as I thought "one more run then pack it in" it was gonna get me.

You want more time on the water? Then look after yourself and maximise your fun credits I reckon.

Live (hopefully) n learn (ditto) STW.

Was soooooo tempted but have had a weird bug rendering me dizzy and nauseous (like a bad hangover) for nearly 2 weeks and couldn't ignore the little (sometimes wise) voice in my head saying too many danger factors. High winds, monster swell (?) and a messy equilibrium just didn't stack the odds how I (and my fam) like em'.

Man - I was itching to get the 7m out on Sat as it looked super sweet in the arvo. Took a bit of self control I can tell ya.

Sigh..
