noice pbs, just to prove to everyone else that those starboards still go good 

Well done, Jeff. That is excellent speed in those conditions. What did you think of the other fin?

Well done on th PB'S Jeff!!

Speedsailing with an Ezzy indeed

Onya Hardpole!  Hey my current 2 sec PB of 35 knots was done with a 5m Ezzy, they can't be that bad!  Dunno what Bender's on about 

Well done Hardone!!!!

Well done Hardpole

Great numbers guys , nice to meet you properly hardpole,

Mark as always top of the class

Thanks for all the nice comments (the loan of gear and advice is also always appreciated).

The choco (On loan from the the South Siders portable windsurfing shop, with advertising !) was much more controllable. I managed to spin it out but compared with the Drake it was very smooth. None of that tail walking stuff !

The 1 hour was almost exactly the first hour, then I stopped for a rest. Glad I didnt go in sooner.

Now at least I have gone faster on the Sonic than my Kombat , only one way from here, better fin, better sail, better times

Let the addiction grow!!!

Jeff not surprised the 34 Drake was a bit of a handful...that's a pretty big fin for that sail-board combo.

On my S-type yesterday (pretty similar specs to your 95 Sonic) I was running a 28 C3 Venom with a 5.8 Koncept and I didn't feel under-finned.  The 30 Venom might have been a better choice, a bit more lift to get the tail up off the water, but around 30-32 should be on the money with a 5.8.

Decided to strap on the GPS and head to the river. Had a good session at Melville.... saw Lao Shi. Was all good until I stepped on something about 10 metres off the shore which sliced the underside of my foot open... put a trail of blood through the car park. Blood spurting everywhere....Just got out of hospital... I'll post tomorrow after the pain meds have worn off. Looks like I'll be out of action for a while. AARRGGHH!!

any photos Marcel,

ps hope you heel fast , don't mind the pun

Shit Marcel that's harsh.

Sorry to hear you'll be out of action for a while.  First Nebs' ribs and now this

nah no photos... but have discovered that pain meds + beer is goooooood..

Bugger, Marcel. Sorry we dragged you back to the river.

Great work Jeff, gotta love the sonics  =D. 3 pb's suggests you sure did!! Ouch marcel, that must have hurt like hell! Hope that it heals up quickly for you

Bugger that's two on the STIL. Hope you both get sorted quick   

Looks like session off set by a great set of PB's from Jeff and a new Alpha from Marcel, well done guys

hey mike what's keeping you off the water have seen you post in a while.

Yeh Min, the water too cold

Work.................. unfortunately, very limited time to get out, particuarly any time after work. Last week, in Northwest all week then pick up bloody bird flu or some crap, and am parked up at home since Friday.  Not that my scores add all that much anyway

nothing like a rinse in the salt water to kill any cold i say. Works for me every time
