New gear to tune and a day very similar to 2 weeks ago.
First run out my harness started to tear apart(this ones under warranty...) and sailing back for a spare unhooked blew the forearms out. The old harness felt more racy but if felt like I had too much weight for the choppy conditions and was underfinned with my flatwater fave 31SL7. I didn't feel to confident on the new stuff in the chop and am a bit rusty! After persisting for a while thinking I just needed to get things tuned I took off the weight and instantly gained control but by that time I was too worn to improve on my earlier times. The JP59 felt great and the deck was very confortable. Also found I am crap at gybing in chop with a weight jacket. Will have to remind myself never to us the jacket when it is windy except for on a flatter strip. Saw a few turtles early on and was happy not to connect. Got a little fotttage which I will post sometime showing the conditions.
