Well the lake was going off! Gusts around the 25 knot mark and, due to a fairly high tide, fairly choppy conditions made it quite a work out for me.
Steve on the other hand just lapped it up lol. Had a stack where I ended up slamming my back into the mast resulting in an immediate urge to vomit.

But after a few minutes rest and the thought of Red laughing at me and telling me to HTFU, I managed to get some reasonable runs.
Overall a great first run on my new (Reds old) sail.
