3rd session
Today was the 3rd time I've been on the flare and yet it still gives me a massive smile on my face, it's early planning and so easy to pop it's unreal.
If I could have felt my hands properly I would have made a lot more vulcans and even pushed a lot more for the Spock.
Today was awesome nicely powered up on a 4.7 tushy rock waist deep water and some very nice flat spots between the chop.
Can't wait for the summer to be here its been a long cold winter
See you on the water

Flare!!
Yesterday I had the change to use my flare for the first time, not the best idea I've ever had super cold, so cold I couldn't even feel my hands after a few minutes off being on the water, but never the less I loved the flare it got on to the plane really early, smooth and fast and gets arounds the gybes awesome great pop aswell.
My only regret was going out and not adjusting the foot straps properly and ended up flying out of them every time I went for a Vulcan.
But still was a good day and a very well deserved beer at the end of it all.
See you on the water when it gets warmer.
