Wellington turns it on

Had an awesome day out at Eastbourne yesterday with the lads tuning our new windsurfing kit. Sheza got some great shots - I'll upload some more tomorrow.

Initial impressions of the new RS Slalom MK II 7.2 with X9 is that its an awesome rig. I haven't really been powered up on it yet, as the wind was only peaking at around 15 knots in the gusts yesterday. It has excellent response when pumping on to the plane and seems to really want to go for it downwind. I was pretty happy with a speed of 28 knots despite the wind maxing at 15 knots. Looking forward to a bit more wind.

The Falcon 104 is a really sweet board, it is so effortless to sail. I think the acceleration is insane in light winds. I'll be very keen to see what it is like in a bit more wind fully powered on the 7.2

Really cool to see so many out there, the grass rigging area is great.

The Wellington summer is off to an awesome start!
