I didnt know what to expect much when I started driving to Wolf and I packed the 110L Atom, the 103 Kode and the7.5;6.5 Retros and the 5.7 Revo for the Kode. When I got there it was quite windy, but I was suspicious and decided on the 110/6.5 as a compromise. Sure enough wind dropped down before I even got to the water. Full winter gear on and as cramped and stiff as a robot under 2 layers of rubber including double booties-air temperature in the low 50s F. There was a moment when I started considering switching to 7.5, but decided to give it another 30 min first and see if it will improve. It did improve and some! To the extend that in a warmer sunnier day I would have downsized to the 103/5.7, but in such a cold day I preferred to toughen it as long as I can and just call it a day when I get too tired.
This what I selected out of todays footage:
It's 42! Clearly overfinned for the 6.5 but thats the only fin I have for the Atom :(

Sigh, looks awesome! Surprised there aren't any sailors or kites in the background there, I was working outside feeling a bit jealous yesterday.
When I had my aborted visit to Wolf there were a bunch of kites, and all were on foils. Does Wolf get weedy in summer?
