Made it here.. All went well. Was a nice long flight.. pretty impressed with Korean Air.. Good food, nice seats, some good movies. Got to watch American Gangster which I thought was great... All the gear came out, the Koreans were nice to greet us here and take us to our lovely love hotels. We have some pretty cool rooms with red lights on the top of the room and just some funny stuff in them. Guess you have to see it to believe it..
The wind was really good today. Sailed on 7.6 on my 101 with my 38cm fin. Was going ok but need to get a bit more tuned up. Tomorrow looks like there will be some wind again and then once the contest starts it should back off for the first couple days. We will see. You never know.
Here is a couple beach shots for you. I will try and get some technical photos coming up. Had too much to do today but maybe some more time tomorrow.

Kevin, the 38 fin is that the Debo SL2 ? ALso, what are your impressions of the SL3 and 4 ?

I have been using the Sl 4. Seems like this is the fin of choice this year as pretty much everyone else is using them as well.
As for the fins, yeah they made it.. I have changed bags so maybe that was the problem!!

Good luck Kev. None of the technical talk matters, it's all about the mustache. Maybe you should get a shot of it for the blog.
