Same can be said for Coyote Pt.
left work early, got new boom at ASD, then was on water around 2:30ish
5.6/285 then smaller board then smaller sail.
Me, 230#, board 8'8" RKT with slotted wave fin, sail 4.6 Revolution
(Wave)
4.1 would have been more than enough way outside...
Gusts....BIG...!!!
Lulls.....even bigger...8-(
Liquid smoke blowing tops off waves.
Waves were messy close in and smoother outside, but didn't spend alot of
time too far out after the last two sessions on my 8'8" I:
1) wrecked my shoulder for a month of no sailing
2) Broke a boom Sunday and luckily got in from 2 miles out.
Parking lot at 5:45 when I left was less than half full. Most humbled
or just got their wind fix in only an hr of sailing.
