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!

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 Just kidding.
Wolf Lake action-Revo 5.2/ Kode 103/ 28 cm freewave fin
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
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.
