A real confidence booster for the bionic man

It sure was! The ankle felt stronger than last week and I had two great days of sailing... one on the Slalom 114 with a 6.1m and another on the FSW85 with a 5.2m.

The most memorable moment was pulling off my first carving 360 in the straps on Sunday. Jem demonstrates the difference between the 'old school' and 'new skool' methods at Boardseekers:

It's taken dozens of dunkings to finally do one in the straps and there will be dozens more whilst I work on repeating it!
