Nic was keen beyond reason to try his new rig, and managed a few planing runs out into the maelstrom of the bay today

Agreed with the above posts, something is not right - lots of creases - perhaps a touch more downhaul or wrong mast? The bird shot is awesome, thanks! What are these birds?

Hey d1,

They are a cormorant.

Nice pics Windanza, good flash back shots of the old stomping ground. Can't say I ever seen a sailboard there, even back then. Must have been 100 surfies just out of shot...

Cheers

yea typical north sails, rhey always crease out like that under load, but it needs some batten tension.
