Carl Macdonald (18593km):
5791 days ago The last session at milang for a while until we get some rain. Another after work session with Sam. Arrived to see a 20 - 25 knot south to south easterly - the wind looked strong and the water flat. We decided to ride speed boards. On Sam's 1st run he hit something and marked his fin. I had a couple of runs along the troughs and then BANG!!! I hit something and badly damaged my sl7 25cm speed fin - split the front wide open (see pic following).
After this i was tentative and waiting the whole session to hit something. I managed some 36 knot runs on the damaged fin. Sam the crazy bugger was doing speed runs towards the shore in flat and shallow water less then knee deep. I was only doing runs away from the shallow water. On the last run Sam hit into concrete sitting just below the surface and damaged his fin badly and now has a hole in the bottom of his f2 xs missile. Unbelievable how shallow it is.
Always good to get wet even with the heartache.
Trackpoint 2 sec - 36.568 - 10 sec avg - 34.669.

Isonic 50, 5.8m koncept and 25cm sl7 (damaged - Sam to repair)
