Arrived to a solid 10-11kts on the wind meter looking steady across the bay. Went out with the 1100/255 and 115 fuse and went pretty much wherever I wanted. Almost perfect 'Bobson' conditions, just a little light. Sailed for an hour and then others started showing up so I came in as it began to get lighter as a herd of Wingers came out. I had a sangy and put on the SuperCruiser foil, 1700, 500 and 102cm fuse went out again and was up and down a bit. So decided to call it a day as it was pretty light. I brought the board up to the top of the ramp but saw that it was filling in again and the Wings were flying again. So went back out for 30 mins but had stopped the GPS watch so just turned it on again to see how slow I was actually going with the 1700/500 setup. I managed to get up to 30km/h but was usually at 25km/h and was as slow as 22km/h which felt like I was pretty much going walking pace or Drunken Monkey pace. ha!! Called it a day after getting sunburnt as I was able to wear my 3/2 no sleeve wetsuit. On the way home stopped at FIG for some delicious Greek food. Maybe a repeat tomorrow..??
