Jibe Marker Jill's Indian Lake report

oug and I got some planing action on our big rigs up on Indian Lake over the weekend. We sailed for a few hours on Saturday afternoon (8.0 & Go board for Doug, 7.5 and Carve 121 for me). It was a sloggy/planey kind of day, but it was warm and sunny and just nice to be on the water without any neoprene. And the wind picked up late in the day and we had a half hour or so of way overpowered action. We got out again yesterday, but rigged during the best wind (7.5 for Doug, 6.5 for me), and only got a few good runs before the wind shut down and the rain moved in.

But I'm pretty happy with my new Retro 7.5 and the Carve 121. The board is perfect for a busy lake like Indian Lake, with lots of annoying boat chop that's normally a pain on a smaller board in light winds. It's almost impossible for me to fall off the giant Carve board! (Although I have proven that it can be done).
