Mat:

Did you get up on a plane with the Start board on Sunday? Did you use the 8.5 sail?

We had to wait for about two hours for good wind to kick in at
Spirit Lake. I was just slogging around with occasional planning puff until

Bam!...the wind kicked in and stayed around 23 mph till dark. I quite sailing at 6:30.

Winds were pretty light here on Sunday so we chose to take the boat out with the dogs instead.

I got out yesterday from about 4-6 on Lake Onalaska. Rode the Techno II with my 7.2. Wind was challenging with gusty conditions, but had about an hour of solid planning conditions. Best session I've had so far.

Good to hear you had a good "fast" session.
