    Awkward. The best part was my pre-session Falafel pita. I put away the big stuff (5.3/115) and opt for medium gear (92/4.5) as the wind ramped up while I was rigging. Enough south in the wind to make it unsettled over the bank (gusty and shifty). Wind wave angle had you hammering your way out then wind wave angle was too tight on the way in to do anything meaningful. Sadly only got one ride out and back overpowered and in battered around by wicked tightly spaced crisscross waist-high chop. This made for several wide-eyed moments on the way out. Came in and flattened the sail out just in time for the wind to start its gradual decent. Tired and tried again to make it work and finally relented and re-rigged the big stuff for a few fun runs. Sailed most of the session solo as the wingers and kites hung out outside (and I didn't have the horsepower to play along). Also managed to tweak my right ankle early on getting pushed backward into the bottom by one nasty weird wave! On the plus side it was sunny and the air temp warmed a bit as the day melted away.
