The winds were super strong today - 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph. I was using a borrowed 5.0 Duotone Unit - with the exception of one run, this wing was perfect for today. I had it rigged up on the tight setting and never really felt overpowered. When the really stiff gusts hit, I just put the wing in neutral and reduced the backhand pressure.
I got 7.13 nm in and my fastest run was 13.1 mph - I could have gone faster but I didn't want to crash hard in these gusty conditions.
With today's outing, I believe winging for me will be a two wing quiver - the 6.0 and a 5.0. I got a few dry tacks on the outbound leg, and I felt I got really close to the inbound jibes. I think if I practice with a skateboard, I'll get this transition down faster. It's nice to have wind back again!!! Thanks to Marlon for his patience and for taking pictures.
