Started on Fanatic Falcon 80 with 28 venom. Changed to speedboard when bar surfaced.
Didn't really get in the zone. Should have rigged 6.2 and gutted it out until the water flattened.Towards the end changed to my Carbon boom and once again discover my X6 Alloy hybrid boom has broken at the front end.(second X6 boom in a couple of months) Glad it didn't let go on the water!!
I'll know to rig big next time and get closer to the bar earlier.
