Early on the gusts were like being on the receiving end of a broadside, but eventually the wind settled and we ended had a good day on 6.5s again.
Spent the day testing fins again, the Blackdaimond RS30 has got the thumbs down after a number spinouts off the wind.
However its bigger brother the RS34 didn't let me down once today, including some hairy runs going broad over the chop in front of the centre in some chunky gusts. Can't understand what's going on, as the 2 fins have got similar flex bend characteristics. The only thing to raise an eyebrow is the RS30 is about 7% stiffer in twist than the RS34. Matbe this difference should be the other way round?
