: Looking great, Reg. Nice brace at the 6:02 mark.
: Not quite as much time to keep readjusting the skeg on this one it
: seems. Were you using it much?
: solid as a rock.

Hi Mick,

You can't see it in that edit but I put the Skeel down before entering the wave and retracted it as I was exiting the action. The exception being when the foam pile started to form and I didn't want it down if I was going to get broached sideways, as in that 6:02 action. At that speed and steepness I would have welcomed the control.

On another note the "Reflection" is cleaned up, gel coated and ready for deck lines so I will be posting a launching soon.

Best,

Reg
