What a day Adi n i decided to go on a mission to KARIN.....

I was hoping a good sesion like the last time Adi and the crew when they were there but mate it was the opposite Yell

Wind was around 0 to 35 kts maybe a touch more in the stronger GUSTS .... but it was so patchy it was impossible to get a continous run , on and off the whole time my arms are dead i am even surprised that i did 117km in those kind of conditions Embarassed

The chop was a good 1 foot and sharp as a razor as soon as you go out a but further it gets gnarlyier.

So caught a couple of good gust , i put on my man pants and let her rip and man that chop was scary , but it really was at the end mind over matter Cry.....

Had one minor crash at 36.5 kts as i beared off half way through the run the wind suddenly stopped and straight away the fin spun out but luckly i fell properly , if the wind didnt die behind me it would have been a cracker of a run.

Started of with the CA speed 50 but the wind was just to patchy and rough.

Congrats to Adi , got a new PB today and well done mate , also to Brane has also got a new PB today , good on ja guys.

Im really looking forward to sail there next time when the conditions are right

Pierre, what can I say, you are really an inspiration to all of us, speedsurfers, here in Croatia. I will miss you when you go back to Australia, but you have already done a great job here with inspiring and teaching us a lot of stuff about speed windsurfing Smile.. We will grant you as a godfather of Croatian speedsurfing Wink...

 

Great result for such choppy conditions. I know how chop can be hard and steep there and it takes a lot of guts to scream downwind through it, congrats !! 5/10 is also great, as well as distance...

 

I hope next time, we'll go all together with Karin, and that the wind will be a bit better so that you can break 40 in Croatia, something that we can chase when you go away Tongue out...

Shina, I was watching him from the shore when he spins out in realy scary speed. I thought he is gone, but he somehow managed to just drop in the water, after sliding aside for some 10 meters... You have to know how to fall, obviously!

Great Pierre - really great to know that 38 kt, and next time I am almost sure, over 40, is possible in our beloved chop! We all have to strive and learn a lot to come even near that results, but since obviously it can be done - we will do it, for sure! I am just 3 knots behind - thats encouraging!

BTW, congratutulations for taking the lead again in individual rankings! Wink

Thanks Adi top stuff, but we are all leaders mate , the one big secret to get good results is to sail continously especialy in conditions like today, and also looking and finding where is it best to speedsail while your out there finding a decent spot....

But i reakon next time when it hits right there there are going to be plenty more PBs...

38.488 is fastest score here in croatian spots, so Karin have great to become no1 spot for 40 knots.

Congrat Pierre
