| Details | Was keeping an eye on the RB Webcam now and then and saw lots of Wings out. So after work ripped down to RB to see approx. 10 Wings out and more on the beach. So rigged up the 4.5m Flyer and small board which is much more fun in the waves. Also rigged up the shorter 95cm fuse and longer 95cm mast. Perfect!! Had to schlog out for 2 mins to hit the wind line but then it was ON!! Windy and very Wavey! Almost all my gybes on the outside were schfincter-clenching as I'd be heading straight downhill with no brake so tried to flag out my sail and just RIDE IT!! Well, it worked out pretty good and to tell you the truth between Sat at Pipers and tonight at RB, I'm beginning to enjoy riding the waves. I might try the 500cm2 stabilizer next time to slow things down more as I was catching the waves in front of me. probably just need some more practice but yes, it was super fun!! WooHoo'ing with all the Wings around, lots of doods that I didn't recognize and a few I did. Tweez, Just John, Sammy and some others. I wasn't able to hook in much going down the waves so it was a bit tiring on my scrawny arms. Very happy to call it a day as the wind lessened, pack up and head home for a Corona and Pasta for dinner. YUMM!! WAVESON OUT!! [from Sailing Log on Monday October 23, 2023] |
