OBX Day 1 - Opening Day 2013

4/8/13 Monday, Salvo NC

Opening Day 2013, 60+ degrees bluebird sky with marginally 6.0 conditions. SSW winds 10-20 through the morning and by 3:00 the winds ramped up to 22-25.  
Arrived at 1:00 and rigged the 6.0, found out it wasn't quite enough so I rigged the kite and got some needed experience on it.
At 3:00 the wind picked up enough for 6.0 sailing on the 109 RRD board. Sailed until 5:00 and called it a day, a good easy day to start the season. 
Mick 9.5 and Dean 7.5 were 100% planning most of the day.

Sail Time: 2.5 hours from 3:00 - 5:30
Gear: 6.0 with the 109 liter board
