Oh yeah, was on a 5.3, I bought David's 99 Pyro. I always wanted one!! Awesome board!!

The general sea temp around the Auckland area yesterday was 20.5 degrees C. Although at Snells beach its a very shallow bay for a bout 500m offshore, so the temp there is above that, the water did feel warm, so might have been ove 21 degrees, the water temp in Auckland would never get over 23 degrees...

@@kev-the-windsurfer. Thank you for the answer. Here, in atlantic coast in France, it's... 10 degrees... bref, thanks for the videos. And bon vent :)

@@launayaudren1868 Oh yes well thats incredibly cold!! In the winter here thew water temp drops to 14-15 degrees and we think that's cold!!

@@kev-the-windsurfer. Hahah, lucky you.

I weigh 79kg. Thanks for watching...

Yeah I thought we might have seen you at Orewa....

@ sabbath…. Nah coming back from coromandel, had a quick fun session out from Castor Bay.

Sure was, we haven't had an Orewa session like that for a long time!!

Thanks for watching, it is sunny but the water is not exactly tropical!! yes the divers watch is a Sea Dweller…

@ 😃 yeah same problem in the UK, water always a little cold! Nice watch, I would have to sell my house for one of those! Keep those videos coming, it’s a great distraction from work!

@@robwilson4180 took me 45 years of pushing hard at work to get the Sea Dweller, most people have no idea of importance of such a finely crafted time piece......I'll have a video up again today and one tomorrow hopefully...

Well, it was shallow enough to walk....nobody needs to see that hahahaha....

Yeah we are scoring some great sessions at the moment, cannot complain!!

Yeah and we got a good float and ride at Punga today, I wasn't expecting anything!!

Cheers!! I still have quite a few fails, but its getting better....

Thank you, yes its coming together, I'd like a bette success rate, but it will come.....I was happy to be able to get them on the 94L....!! Thanks for watching..

Yeah it was pretty epic, between 2-3pm it was fair nuking, but I was done, 3hrs on the water, couldn't hold on any longer!! Tomorrow should be good, but just not quite as windy...

@ going to try early start … 730am

@@Windsurfer007 I reckon it will settle in a bit later, maybe 9ish, thats when I'll be there..

You can sail there in the SW as well but it does get a bit gusty and shifty on the inside, but its generally pretty good!! Definitely worth the trip if there's a good forecast....

We might get lucky on Saturday with a Northerly, but I'm not jinxing it by making plans.... This S/SSW direction is really nice at Shakes, easy to ride backside both ways, and jump both ways......

Small steps.....they'll come...

Sunburst Ave, theres a park there with a large grass area to rig up, plenty of parks, easy access...

It can be a bit fickle, its sensitive to wind direction, but when it works its great..

Thanks, yeah it was a bit of fun, I was hoping for a bigger swell, but at least we got something...!!

Thank you, yes a very valuable transition to have for wave sailing. I was super stoked to try 7 tacks and make 4 of them, on my 3rd session doing them.....its not an easy transition thats for sure!!

Thank you, I am working hard on getting the flow so it can be my go-to way of getting upwind at our down the line spots, and particularly our onshore spot...

Hard work, tacking is really difficult !! Hoping it will get easier from here on in....

Once you get used to the Dyno in the waves you'll want to run a smaller fin set. I use a 18cm K4 main and 11cm thrusters, makes it more agile on the wave.... You can definitely get a decent DTL ride on a Dyno...

Thanks for watching, the Dyno works well on the 6.2, 5.3 is the sweet spot, and the 4.7 works well too if the wind is patchy and I need float...Once its windy enough for the 4.7 and there are serious waves, the Carbon Art 89 comes out...

Thanks for watching. Boom size is 174 for this 6.2....

@@kev-the-windsurfer. thank you

​@@kev-the-windsurfer. 5.0 = 168 & 5.5 = 170 can i use boom 140-200 by not effect of power & shave sail? Confirm pls. Good comfortable move more?

@@windsurfsongkhla my boom is 150-200 and the 6.2 is the biggest sail I have which is 174, well within the working size of my boom. If you boom is 140-200 I can't see you would have any trouble with the size sails you have.

@@kev-the-windsurfer. thank you

I can certainly get you out there and on some waves when the wind is sketchy, but I wouldn't call it a wave board, its freewave and to be fair more bump and jump. But I do use it a lot in the waves. Not sure how it compares to a JP, I have never sailed one before. I do have a 2020 Starboard Kode 94 which I use a lot too and that is more of a wave board than the Dyno for example...

@@kev-the-windsurfer. thanks! but which do you like more? which is faster?

@@nickswampah3272 both great boards when used in the ideal conditions. Dyno is more bump and jump, faster, Kode is more wavy....This is why I have both, no one board can do it all...

Yeah it was a fun session in between jobs!!

Dyno 105 is an excellent board!! Very useer friendly, I always use it with the thruster setup. You can even get s decent wave ride on it too....Super easy board to sail...

@@kev-the-windsurfer. thx for the feedback

Thanks, Yeah pretty stoked with the days sailing!!

Yeah the Ahu is amazing, very nice board. Yes, thats Spencer with the Backie....Good score, two days I was down there and sailed both days!!

Well, its always an option!!

The Kode is way more a wave board than the Dyno is....I'd take the Kode every time. I have a 105 Dyno because it was a good deal, I only use it in lighter wind since I got my Carbon Art board...Would have preferred a Kode though.

@@kev-the-windsurfer. Thank you. I will testride one soon then.

Amazing board, couldn't be happier!!

Pyros are great boards!! I am picking up a custom Carbon Art board today, looks like we'll have some conditions to try it out in, watch for the video!! I also use my footage to see how I can improve, what you think you're doing and what you're actually doing can be very different things!! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks, it was lots of fun...!

Yeah it can be a lot of fun, can be tricky to get out if its dead onshore like it was this time....but worth the effort.

I certainly did, I really connected with that Carbon Art!! Its an excellent board.....

I just use the stock Severne fins, when I need more lift I have a set of Black Project fins, 16 for the two mains and 11 for the thrusters.

I think it depends on the board and your personal preference. The Nano definitely works better as a quad, my Dyno and the Kode work well as thrusters. I like the feel of thrusters on the boards I have, the Nano being a quad is difficult to compare as the board is so different from the others, but I can say i definitely like thrusters, can't imagine life without them...

They are different boards for different conditions, I have only sailed a Pyro once but it was excellent in the waves whereas the Dyno is not, its more of a bump and jump board....I wouldn't buy a Dyno again, my focus is more wave riding now, so I would take the Pyro.....

Yeah, Point Chev can be good fun for sure!! Might see you out there one day...

This board is a 2019 Kode, quite different to the new ones. I do like it, its my light /medium wind board. All these modern production boards are fragile, I have had to have this one repaired a few times. I have given up on production boards now as this is the third board I have broken in 3 years, although this one could be repaired..... But it does depend on how you sail, I like jumping and I do a lot of it so that is also a factor. If you never jumped the board it would last a lot longer but where's the fun in that...

Hey, thats actaully a great idea!!

Cheers!! It was a fun session, so good to be out in some waves after a long dry spell...

Yeah plenty of wind for some hang time for sure.....We might get something on a westerly tomorrow...

Fun times on the water!!

I've had this board for a few years now, its smaller volume at 94L than the 105 Dyno, its more agile and better in the waves, so I'm using it as much as possible to dial myself into it for when I go back down to the Taranaki for wave riding..
