Day 3 on Karpathos.
A bit more wind than yesterday, so I picked 6.3 and the W54 today. Started with the S29 as it is a little wavey upwind, which worked fine. The best wind was in the morning, first run was a 65 straight off the bat with the footstraps still in winter booties setting, aaaah! Later I managed to catch one more very good gust which resulted in the fastest run of the day and also the highest peak speed. The rest of the day the wind was a bit less and it was extremely difficult to get a good gust at the end of the run. The last time I went out I switched back to the S26.5 and it's still rock solid as always in these conditions. Love that fin.
Nice day. All runs were started from the reef today. Maybe I'll try the 'gated' approach tomorrow.
