First time out with new Hellcat 6.7m and got some practice on the Manta, back footstrap is still the key move.

Hellcat was a nightmare to begin with and tried quite a few things before going back to NP dimensions and it felt much better, I think it needs just a few mm of downhaul still but I had it overdownauled to begin with and it was very backhanded resulting in lots of spin out on the Manta.

Very bumpy out in the bay and not a speed day but happy to get the practice.

Used the 36cm fin Juan special
