JAK (6497km):
5211 days ago 2 categories   Wow, a quite windy day at the Pit with Simon, not the best direction, was a little too much west in it for my liking making the strip quite short (unless you plan continuing land sailing). Also quite choppy at times with the squalls. Nevertheless took the Tabou 105 out first and decided after tail walking down the strip at more than 34 kts that it wasn't quite a good idea. So took the 'ole Banana' Torquay 82L Waveboard (Stephen's old one) and got a 37.18 kts on my GPS...you beauty! My goal was to break the 35kts today, so I have achieved that, pitty that RealSpeed knocked off 0.3kts from the top speed . Felt like a passenger sometimes going down, specially when it span out at top speed, so next time working on stance and trim to improve, but realistically there is a limit to the material which was BTW:
TSA Torquay 258 Wave Board (not quite sure how old, ask Stephen), 25cm or so Wave Fin, Neil Pryde Saber 5.7 (Jerry's old one, with the panel repaired, no further damage to it today )
