sweet pics man, did you get a new exocet board?
Nah, I was stealing Chris' board. It's a 102 liter Exocet Cross. I like it a lot, and I think I'll get one when I replace my 114 liter fanatic. Even though the cross has less volume, it's slightly wider and seems to plane, jump, and jibe very well.
Let me know when you get a chance to rig your big sail on that 520 mast I sold ya.
Glad you liked the pics. I had a bunch more from that day but those fit the theme of the post the best. That last jibe you did just before you quit the session ended up being better quality photos. You know the one, when you noticed I had out the camera. Maybe I'll do a post using those pics and theme it around "Knowing your being watched Vs not knowing". Need more material though.
Oh almost forgot. No!!! You can't have my Cross.
Great pictures looks like fun. When I jib in this wind speed I have the board nose up like James has in the pictures. Do you try to move forward to push the nose down on the exit?
