Expected to sail 6.3 today but the wind never reched that level. So I went for the Falcon 113 and 7.8 Racing Blade. Wind still gusted up to 25 kts. I really like the combo. This actually was the first proper session with the bigger gear and I was happy enough to have a Busca 38 with me, which I like a lot with this sail and board. First try. Good lift, secure and it controles the board really nice. It seems to be a good combination with the board and sail and myself. I still need to get more comfortable with big gear, but that will not take so long as speeds went up the whole time. Good fun!
