Rode the Origin ok and had a play on the Dialer but wasn't really feeling it. Did a lot of rotations for some reason...
Wind was cross-on from the NW and I ended up over the "windsurfer side" of the river... had a little fun popping over the river wall.
Switched boards a lot to make the most of the wind... really tired now. Not a bad session eh.
Weather was reported as 14 to 15 knots; gusts to 30 at 2am (bah!) at 5.7˚C and 71%.
Wind felt like ok powered lulling to just riding with gusts to mmm ok.
What I learned today...
- Those XCEL gloves are warm but wa-aay too thick - can barely bend my fingers in them, nor now - forearms were burning and now are non-responsive... the $9 WorkMan gloves are better :o
- Put the Sprint2/Boston/whatever-the-heck-it's-called valve in the 13 - easy enough job - and it's even better than the original!
- Threads are a bit stiff... wonder if they're just a tad off but snug is good and it held air good. No sign of damage that I can see.
- There's a way to turn the Dialer that feels like a real sharp carve on a TT but doesn't require a lot of weight on my bad ankle.
- Need some repairs to the Impervious...
