Ledge Point, WA, AU 2011 Lancelin Ocean Classic Marathon

Yeah I did 1- I finished the LOC on my second year ! waa hoo! 1 hr 6 min 11 sec coming 122 out of 134 finishers,  and 190 starters

6.6m over powered legs 5 onwards. 94 L FSWwave with 36 weedy. Was good combo, but went into survival mode at leg 5 and had the handbrake on, pulling spinouts back and staying upright. not much fun then.

The real fun was the tailwalking wave riding into wards the beach every time. Thats when power was on and i kept saying " i dont want to go this fast !!"

My "in water count" was 11 times - with 1 crash ( it might have been a vulcan...) not near a mark, the other 10 were mark roundings or gybes gone bad! I made a gybe on the 2nd mark - very proud of myself and awarded my self a scratch and sniff sticker- sadly that washed off at Mark 3 my 2010 nemesis when my gybe was crap and my water start turned into a rig flipping contest that no one else watched.

Leg 6 to 7 was a long run- boy it was a long run!

Only saw Nebs at the start as we both OVERTOOK BENDER. After mark 3 the competition thinned out around me, but always some one was close by, people behind me and someone in front to follow.  But at the finsih line and the pub saw everyone and a few more. Thankyou all for your encouragment and support.

Congrats to Jesper, and Chris, and Bjorn (who graciously signed my book)

Great work by the LOC team and thanks- see you all in 2012

 

Thanks Obelix for the vision!

LOC

NP RSS MK3 7.0, 2011 Tabou Manta 65, JP freerideweed 31.

Sail was too big, fin was too small, but board felt great.

Burnt my arms out so most gybes ended with splashdown. only one minor crash.

finished in 52nd place. I'm just stoked i finished :)

Available time meant I got on the water before the wind kicked in fully and left just as it was doing so. Still, better to have got out for a short sail than not at all. First post for the new team - hoping to do better next time. Rig was pretty balanced when the gusts came through.

Brayden to slack to post yet or didnt wear the GPS?  For a young chap that doesnt spend a lot of time on the water, he does all right in such events. Be interesting to see how he goes after a full season prep.

Well Done Tobi!

As I was sulking in the back of the rescue ute the sight of your smiling face at the finish line really cheered me up and gave me some hope of finishing next year. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been with a 6.6m sail. Great effort!!Tongue out
