Yeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!Cool

Finally completed the set of Pbs with one day to go!

Went to wallyworld to try alphas with a pointer. Battled weed, stinkboats, fishermen and the usual gusts.

Pb achieved on the last alpha of the day running back down the bar into the jetty. Max 30.75 min 14.31.

One happy camper.Laughing

Finally got to try out my new chrissie present and loved it! A PB at first outing, but it doesn't show because I surpassed it on the next session. Love that sail. Can't wait to use it again.

JC - it's an old 2005 Sonic 90L 55W, just had the one sail on it but feels very quick and is nice and easy to sail

Marcel - felt the need for the odd bit of speed (legal variety) - still heading to the ocean for the bumps, hope to see you out there soon

Thanks for all the congrats, guys. That PB had stood for just over a year and I had tried a whole heap of set ups and locations.

Yet again Hardie and Nebbs another great year. Thank you. You have made so many of us work on becoming better sailors. After nearly 30 years of sailing I can now say I gybe the best I ever have. Thanks also to Snake for kicking my arse on a regular basis and making me work harder.

Thanks also to all the members of the Pinaroos and other teams that have made windsurfing a great social activity too.

It is fantastic to see so many windsurfers around the world pushing their personal boundaries and we are lucky here in WA to have some of the best in the world inspire us.

A happy, safe and speedy New Year to all!Laughing
