Slight late changes to the forecast, held the wind on a wsw approach until the clearance of the cold front early afternoon.
Hit the water around 3pm with 25-30kts blowing in from the west to WbN. Around 4pm the wind picked up a notch with some half decent 30-35kts gusts. Picked up on a decent run which felt smooth and clean with a pb peak of 42.92 and a nice 42.13 10s.
On the sail to wind back up the lake I was head to head with an out of control freerider grappling with the big chop. I had to crank hard to wind to avoid a collision, lost the tail, leeward rail dug in and I ate the 55 stealth looping thru the gear, trashing the foot panel on the way past. Stayed out for another run as the wind was solid 30-35kts, made a 41.5 peak, but the sail was shot. Came in to change up to the 6m.
45 Mins later I was back out, but missed the best of the wind and a potential 42+ 10s avg. sailed til dark with 2-3 semi lit runs on the 6m with 42+ vmaxes making the most of the 25-30kts blowing in from the WbN flow
Still a great day wth some sweet Pb's for many
