Description

For the last 20 years or so, I've thought of myself as a wave sailor,

 

but that appears to be changing.

(Edit April 2010, just updated the above pic, think I'm still a wave sailor, even though I'm wearing a GTC rashy)

 

Don't think I can call myself a speed sailor yet, with only 35kt on the clock, but I'm heading in that direction.

Photo to come after somebody takes it.

(Edit) a year or so later, I've impoved the 35 to 36, but still not sure about being a speed sailor????

(edit edit, 13.11.2010)

After our trip to Sandy Point, I've now got some great pics, but still haven't done any better than 36!

And I discovered there that, you have to be in the high 30s to be a speed sailor.

Well hopefully I can crack the 70 Km/h before I'm 70.

Thanks to Jody of whitecaps photgraphy, here's my Sandy Point pic.

 

 26 June 2012, just tried out my new 43cm board, really like it, so it's now my avatar.

 

 February 2013

Due to a fantastic holiday in Beachport, I've achieved my 70km before I'm 70, the 43cm board lived up to expectations, got a 39.13 2sec with Daffy's old 4.4 plugged into it. So now I guess I'm a speed sailor, certainly haven't been doing very much wave sailing lately.
