TOPIC: Big day coming up 10/4 Wed Greenwood

Big day coming up 10/4 Wed Greenwood 5 years 6 months ago #1

Expected to be good N wind, should be some people out at Greenwood. Today was really good SSW from Lee st, very powerful 30+ kt readings from the crib translate to well powered 5.5-6.0, steep chop on the way out, easy ride in. Water temp still ok, got hot today.

Close to perfect 5.0-5.5 day at Greenwood except when getting crunched a couple of times going out in a lull in the shorebreak zone. Big swell, waves close in, water temp still good. 8 people had sailed by the time I left early at 1:30. Its going to be cold on N winds for rest of reason.

Sounds awesome! What board(s) are you using?

I hate my 98L, and wind a bit light for using 5.0 with it, so my 10 year old Fanatic cross (116L 64cm wide) does the job, actually great for fast wide jibes in the smooth troughs we get when a NW wind clocks N. Better sailors than me ripping it up in the waves, looping.

That's a good set-up. You guys rip.

Speaking of looping at Greenwood - here's a couple of videos from the Video gallery...

What don't you like about it? And do you like your Fanatic cross (116L 64cm wide) ?
