Sue, where did you get your sailworks sail from? It looks very much like one off my old one's that I traded in to Boardcrazy.
Boardcrazy..a couple of years ago - hardly used? My 3.8m looks the same and I bought it in as new condition last season. 1st use on that day.
CJW - I will be.If I wasn't getting photos taken I would have been on it as it picked up.It would have been great as the ramps were really building by then but I was too overpowered/ overboarded (?) to risk jumps.
When I first got there I was a bit underpowered in the lulls and holding on in the gusts and the chop wasn't too bad. I was suprised when the wind got under the gear and threw me as I didn't really think it was any worse than usual ..or at least I've sailed in those conditions plenty of times and not been thrashed.
I took the little board out after the crash with a 3.8 on and I was suprised that it was a handful .I think a smaller fin would have helped but by then I'd been out c 2hrs and was injured so I decided to play it safe .As it was it tailwalked as I came after I unhooked and flipped trapping my ankle in the strap - I thought I'd broken it..
). I've got a photo of it tailwalking that Ill post when we get it edited ( its in RAW).
Grr I only did one run with the little board & absolutely flew!I was really keen to see what photos he got but the only one he took was at the end when it was about to toss me off.[}:)] Must have looked more interesting..
Problem is it doesn't often blow a consistent 25kts + up here and the lulls are a bugger with the little board.
