Cloudy but warm, it seemed like it was right between a 10m and a 12m wind. I waffled as I watched Eric pump a 12m but finally went small and I was glad I did. Although the first few minutes felt a little under powered, the wind came up properly and then the 10m was more than enough. I had lots of fun in the rollers as the Celero is a fun, quick board and happily there was not a lot of chop which makes riding it not so much fun. I was wary to stay fairly inside as the wind was WNW at times and if you get out past the point it feels like an offshore situation which I want no part of. Came in while the wind was still strong and was extra careful coming up the boat ramp after my squall incident and my "I can de-power one handed" dumbness incident. All good and had lots of chats with the good crew that had assembled for a "it looks like winter but feels like summer" session.
