New PB! Broke 60km/h! Finally ! ! !

Had a fairly freaky funday on my AB+ 59, with a 34cm C3 and for 1 run only a TR4 5.5. Quickly changed down to an aging Gun Mega Race 4.2 and was still occasionally overpowered near the sandbar. But underpowered in the lulls. Good fun while it was in the water.

Shimming the fin did help reduce spin-out... but still had a few sideways walks. Thankfully no catapults because of it!

But my peak speed is not all I broke!. I Managed to snap a C3 fin by hitting, wait for it, water!
I did one of those unexpected arials at speed, and when I tried to water start I realised something was wrong, looked under the board and notice a little something missing. D'oh.

It probably happened during one of the 45kt gusts. Which may explain why we were having difficulty keeping our boards in the water.

How is it possible to break a fin in water...? I thought they were designed for water sports. Oh well.

Roar offered comiserations, and in true Top Gear fashion, sailed off without me.

Managed to get back to shore with a combination of drifting, body dragging and sailing with the harness hanging off the back strap. I got planning a few times like that... freaky!
