Arrived at Noon to 15-20kts but gusty with some holes. Launched from 200m West of Tulista Park along Lochside Drive. Rigged up a flat 4.5m and my new front foil, PTM-930 which is 950cm2. As I headed out the wind picked up to 20-25kts with just a drizzle of rain. It lasted 20 minutes then backed off so I headed in to put on the bigger 1263cm2 front foil as the 950cm2 foil really wanted to go fast, if I slowed down in a gybe I came off the foil. Wind was still light when I headed back out so I bagged out the 4.5m but still schlogged for 5 mins to get out to the windline but as soon as I reached it, the wind filled in again but the hard rain did too. I lasted another 20 mins in the craziest of conditions, blowing 20+ with hard sideways rain. I decided to pull the plug as it was loads of fun butt with crazy pouring rain stinging my eyes it wasn't going to get any better looking upwind. Good Times!!
SOGGYSON OUT!!
