A cheeky bonus session at West Kirby... second session on speed kit within a week! The forecast wasn't epic but it was worth a punt being the weekend. I figured there was little to lose by driving up for the day!

The course was quite broad and the wind started off on the light side (around 25-30 knots) but I rigged the 5.1m in anticipation of something stronger by the afternoon. It took a bit of tinkering with my settings and a slight increase in the wind but I eventually started getting some decent speeds by early afternoon and the new custom board felt great. I'm sure it can go faster for me given a little more wind.

I got (personal) spot bests for 10s, 250m and 5 x 10s. The session average was also a PB as it was slightly faster than last weekend's PB and my first 5 x 10s exceeding 41 knots... only just!

Great to see the speed guys who turned up, many of whom I haven't seen in almost a year. Also nice to see Daz back on the water after a 2.5 year absence.
