Another cranking Perth seabreeze, this time tried the smallest 550cm2 front and smallest 255cm2 rear.
Super glide and speed - had to be light-footed though the turns as there's not much lift in the turbulence.
To make things interesting the GoPro came loose and was dangling off the end of the boom for a while 
Took Kai Lenny's advice with the helmet for big days 
2.8m Simmer Blacktip
Nice riding azymuth. Interesting to see you using the footstrap on the opposite side of the board for hard downwind carves. One benefit of those open straps you run.
That rear wing at 255cm2 seems pretty chunky for a 550cm2 front wing, but it's obviously working well for you on a 2.8 .. Wow! Great work, keep the videos coming

The 255 is pretty thin so I feel not too draggy, however the top surface is completely flat so perhaps it's not super-efficient.
Happy to hear recommendations for faster stabs although I do prefer wingtips to help control yaw/roll when using the small front wing.

JJ, Slingshot's new PS340 (180mm2) might be worth trying. It has small winglets and reasonable yaw control.
Great riding in crazy conditions JJ. That is the most flat wind profile I've ever seen. We were 5 knots gusting 25 yesterday .
