Feb 1

Bonaire Lac Bay
15-17
5.5 Retro MR118
Good sail for this wind. Comfortably powered. Confirmed that sail size effects my jibes - made most of my jibes with the 5.5 sail. Not fully planing jibes but at least I didn't fall in. My basic approach was to carve the jibe, end up breifly sailing clew first and then flip the sail. I could see where a narrower board will be nicer if the wind gets much stronger - chop height picked up so did some bouncing around. On the other hand, maybe this wide board will make chop hops easier...
