Windsurfing RI - 9-20-2024 - Goddard Park ripping on new 98L board

On a new (to me) 98L carbon fiber race board (Tabou Manta). 6.7 Ezzy cross - very powered up for the conditions (gusts into high 20s), would have been ok on the 5.7 same sail. Some guys from the crew join the session.

First half of video uses camera mount on end of boom, swap to helmet cam for 2nd half (Ezzy sail design is a little awkward with the boom mount).

Solid jibes and speed, with one spectacular nosedive, timestamps below for skipping to highlights of this raw footage
