It shows a gusty 19.0 WSW @11:50 am. Usually you can take at look at SWS graph for free (not posting today :roll: ) or consider a iW membership.

Awesome day. On the water by 12, planing right away on the XL/92l. Much, much better wind than Friday. Kiters down-rigging from 13s to 9s around 2pm. Lit up in the gustier conditions towards 3pm. On the water until around 4pm, at which point my heel needed a break. Decent "mini swell" in the river at the end for boosted chop hops.

Good progress on Vulcans: Got about 3-4 sliding backwards with hands on the new side of the boom AND the sail "popping" from sheeting in. On the best one it felt so effortless, I really thought I had it, but despite being perfectly centered during the slide I sunk the tail on the exit :D

Also started working on starboard-side spin loops - lots of nice slams.

Inspiration:

Thanks for the report. Always great to compare actual conditions against forecasts.

Great work on the vulcans too!
