iS110, 7.8RBlade, 38 CL Sl2 - Lammermoor Beach, QLD, AU E 17-24kn

Was contemplating rigging the 8.6 as I didn't want a repeat of yesterday where wind backed right off and left me floundering around.  Wind was only showing 13-18kn but decided to go with rigged 7.8 sail and by the time I got to the water I realised I might be in for a challenge as wind had started to really crank.  Way overpowered for most of the sail and arms ended blowing up like popeye on spinach steroids.  Only managed to get about 40minutes in as I just couldn't hold on any longer.  Fin performed beautifully even though I had way too much board in some very rough high tide conditions.  Pretty happy with the numbers for this combo too.
