First session for me in 2024. Great time meeting with my friend Ady and chatting with the windsurfing and winging Wolf crowed. Very gusty (12kn to +30kn) but lovely air temps! Riding: Bolt 117, 37cm fin, 5.4 Mark2. Very rusty after more than 3 months off with a couple of in-control runs amongst many crappy ones!

Bad ass. Is the cam on some type of boom? Link to the christmas present?
Do you wear a 3/2 or something thicker?

Great video. I learned how to sail there in the mid 80's. Many happy memories. Some time I'll have to put my stuff in the Van and drive in.

Thx!
Neilpryde 5/4 suit. Atan 6.5mm boots
Insta360 setup:
Insta360 One X2
Ulanzi Metal Camera Cage
Camera Tripod Adapter, 1/4" (used to secure leach on cage side)
RUIGPRO 7" Aluminum Extension Arm
Flymount Aero-40 Action Camera Mount
If you don't care to risk losing your camera, you can do without the cage but note that there's no place to attach a leach on the camera. If your setup fails and falls in the water: bye-bye camera!

Woohoo, it was hardcore session indeed! I started on my 5.2/103 with a 28 cm fin, but struggled badly in the lulles, so I ditched it later for the 5.7 and a 30 cm fin. Of course the wind picked up at this point and I was overpowered to the point I debated quitting or downsizing again. I’m glad I didn’t do any of it because after a break the wind dropped down again so I got few good runs until it went crazy again.
My gratitude to Greg who saved my day after letting me use one of his booms after I realized mine is broken. I don’t know how or when since I haven’t used it since 2022 but once I started adjusting it for the sail I felt a looseness in one of the arms and whoah a catastrophic failure . Thank you Greg , I owe you one!!
I separated it for the picture but otherwise the break wasn’t visible at all.

Update: I glued the boom with a Gorilla construction glue. If it does what the Gorilla tape does for fixing sails I'll be a happy camper. I'll keep you posted and if I end up with my hands glued to the boom, I'll sue like that woman that put adhesive on her hair :lol: Just kidding.

I had some of that nuisance-out of wind, out of glide, hooking up at the worst moment so I switched to 5.7 and 30 cm fin soon after

Can't stop playing with that 360 camera! B) The Insta360 phone App is really good. Super easy to use!

Ady if you want, I could measure out some epoxy and adhesive filler for you to make that a complete fix. Also have some carbon biax sleeve that might help over teh top.
