Bad choice number one: left smaller boards at home because, hey, the forecast is 15-25 and that's 6.0 weather.
Bad choice number two: used budget Epic Gear boom. Outhaul slipped. Boom slipped. Nothing more fun than to be powered up on a 4.5 and then watch the outhaul let offf and see the sail folded over the boom. Yeah, lots of power while my butt was dragging and 66cm of board bouncing across the swells.
People who did much better than me: Mr. B, Marek, Chris P., Rhett and Gene.
You'll have company. Pack sunscreen - it's going to be a lot warmer than the last time you went.
Well, that was a collection of bad choices.
