Shoal Bay SW->SSW 15-25kn; wind chop, HW-2 to -1; CA SL58, Venom 34, mb 1360; Redline 6m4.  Starting to get into it when the boom came apart at 24kn, going out - worst part that it cracked the board too ...

Snuck out of work while the boss was in a meeting.... rode my bike home, got my gear, rigged and on the water for an hour, then back to work before the meeting ended!    This session was on Pandora Pond with a SW wind, probably only 15 knots or so.  Oh well, ya take what you can get!   7.0 sail, 117L, 27cm fin.

Lynfield speed run.

This is winter?, warm & sunny with 20-30 knots of wind.

No others out.Surprised

2 runs before carbon boom broke, 37 knots on broken boom.

Hey Izaak, it would be even better if I didn't windsurf!  2 carbon booms, 6 carbon masts, (along with many broken carbon masts!) a few carbon fins, a bit of carbon in the boards...  our whole sport has a lot to answer for!  We should all be riding our bike's to make up for it it!  (as long as it's not a carbon frame!)  But you know, with all my gear, it's getting pretty hard to get to the rigging spot.Surprised...

Hi Craig - good you got out, and we've moved up the table!  

Great photo ...  

Not sure about the science - isn't the point to sequester the carbon, not release as COx - so more gear the better!?  

No, not hurt - snapped right between the head & arm, and just peeled off to windward ... 

Looking forward to iSonic weather now

Martin, I think you're right, more carbon gear must be better for the planet!

Welcome to our new team-mate Michael Howard!  Nice speed there Michael - even on a broken boom!
