Big day on the water. Congragulations on the P.B Perky - A big effort given the conditions.

I felt really comfortable on the rig today right up untill I stepped off the board at about 36Knots. Hurt my back, twisted my knee, lost my hearing for a while and when I eventually found the surface I saw more stars than you would see orbiting the planet. Gotta love the Aeron booms - if that didn't break it I don't what would and that's about the third serious hooked stack I've had on it.

I think you'll get a fair bit more out of that board Johno - it was looking good when the wind was in.

Left home at 4.30am for a 7 hour return drive to Port Sorell. Forcast looked awesome. Some fairly strong gusts came through. Hard work at the best of times. Well done Anthony on the PB, good effort. Well done on Jonno and Stew for getting out there. Isonic 50 and new Code Red 5.9 with Drake 23cm speed fin.

hi lao shi, today it was like drag racing that finished on gravel,from 0 to peak speed in 260m.the tide was just way to high,due to swell surges.only the top of the run was uncovered at times.

Well done Perks, unreal for you to get a speed PB, and on your home spot too.  Sounds like that wind came through OK, just a pity about the sandbar not being fully exposed!!  Well done also to all of the the other speed seekers that got out today.  Your crash sounds nasty Stew.  You gotta remember not to step off until the end of the run!!
