what an arvo,

rigged my one and only 6.5, with lots of downhaul and hoped to god i wouldnt get slaughtered out there.

first run was great, second run was awesome until a huge guts came thru and i was hanging on for dear life.

got back to the beach and then stepped on a flathead, just my luck, so contemplated throwing in the towel, but some more downhaul and i was back out there.

the second gust that came thru, and i called it quits. That gust, around 4.30pm, was awesome.

Still, a great day on the water thats for sure.

Hope tomorrow is just as good, taking my gear to work for an arvo run.

just for records...
it was 35-40 ? on Shearwater, but late at 4: 30 and only for w while

I didn't feel comfortable on 5.0 I must say in that gust...

I must say it was splendid view: 20-30 windsurfers on that quiet usual SW spot on that day ( and only one or two kites...)!
