Full flat. Took to the water right at the peak of the wind (should have been there about a half hour earlier to get the ramp up). Grossly over powered with half downhaul and half outhaul on the 3.8! Stopped to rig the sail full flat and that was better! Much better! Then spent some time switching boards to varify test results from the south Oregon coast. Confirmed. Thanks to big John for lending my his Goya Pro 3 81! Fun board that! Hung around and milked the dimishing wind as it shifted south and played "how low can you go" by bagging the sail out more and more again. Tide had started to ebb and the wind swell had melted away. Air temp was plus 10 C and felt warm! What a treat!

Thanks for the pictures, and the test run on the 71 liter. What a great day!

Thanks for the pics Dave! That was a fun day. A solid 9/10. Just wished the water was a few degrees warmer and my booties weren't so slippery.

Thanks John, cool shot! I remember that jump, my front foot came completely out of the strap! :o I went back in and tightened them up after that.
