Started blowing hard last night and was really cranking this morning but was tied up so didn't get down till around 4 just as the wind backed off. Started with the iS97 and 7.0 but that was a sinkfest so changed up. It was dead on shore so getting out proved difficult initially but finally got the big gear on the plane. Sailed with half a harness hook for the entire session as one half snapped off (meant to get a photo of it but was rushed) but it held together. Wind picked up nicely right towards the end and got my peak on the last run of the day - think this is the fastest I've had the big girl.
