Good incoming tide session in Shoal Bay. first real opportunity to sail Shoal Bay on a strong NE. Down wind runs to northern motorway walkover bridge. Only thing could have been flatter and needed another 5 -10 knots. Gusts didn't hold and runs fizzled out which was disappointing. Wind and tide runs kept on shifting and hard work to get back upwind when tide turned. Used C3 Slingshot 20 also. Great on the flattish bits but gives me the shits over chop. Happy with my 100m run.

One 30 knot catapult which was really ugly. Rider okay!!
