    Willows attempted-redemption session. After retreating from Clover this morning, with ripped 4m and tail between my legs, I headed to Willows around 230pm and was soon joined by RobC. It was still howling and I debated rigging my 3m, but ended up using the 5.5m since the winds were expected to come down. Rupert joined and prophesied that we might only have 30 min before it shuts down. He was bang on: a few foiling runs and then the wind was done. Appreciate the sympathy for the wing mishap this morning! I wish I could blame it on shore break but I was past the break and simply flipped my board in the wrong direction cause I'm so not used to SE winds. In hindsight, what the heck was I thinking launching with foil up?? DUH! Fortunately it's only a 12" rip at the leech, no bladder damage, the primary damage was to my pride ;)
