Off the chart wind (see chart below.) Rigged three times (see chart below.) As soon as the back loopable ramps appeared, I raced shore to switch from the 5.0 to the 4.2 since I didn't want to be stupidly overpowered when trying those. Tried 5 or so, with 2 decent attempts. Amazing L stayed on the 4.7 the whole day. Tried 2 starboard forwards in the flat water, but wussed out and let go both times. I think my body got around though. I think Keith has video of it. At least 20 V attempts. Zero completions. Guy says there was a gust to 44 knots.
