Great to be out at Southend again after 6 months and to see so many people there. Broke a lot of PBs and especially pleased with the nautical mile, which took some effort today! Felt a lot more comfy with my set up and able to push harder. The sail felt really good and the slingshot fin seems super fast. First time using a weight jacket today - used 5kg which didnt feel that heavy but made me feel a lot more solid going down the course. First impression is they definitely help. Another PB today was my first crash at over 40kts.....my helmet was ripped off, gps ripped off and harness line broke - i was dazed but only bruised :-)
