I will post when I can get GSPAR software working again, cant run the data as Java has gone tits up on my laptop.   Lea if I can fix it It can I email you the files to have a look at, I ran it as two sessions.

Well done,

Spencer i don't think you will have to wait long to get that 30 average keep it going mate!

Will be down there tomorrow morning tempted to have a go.  

Send it to me Duncan no worries sorting it.

Nice to have you on board Griff, by the way nice Alpha.

Griff...Hearty welcome and a cracking alpha.

Lea...You were going well today!

Thought you were going  away Normski?

Did come down the beach and seen you car thought someone else had brought it....

Anyway good to see you got out. 

Thankyou Normski, you too were hammering it past ferrybridge a few times.

Griff - Good set of PB's there, its so nice aiming for a different one every session according to wind direction.

It was the first time I have really gone for speed runs and felt comfortable and knew I can get a lot more with better technique. First few I found my wind awareness had to change as was just bearing off straight downwind from the academy to the peninsula, but after a while I realised I needed to get my speed up across the wind then bear away. My last run was the fastest, but my toes were so painful by this point and I had leg cramps, and was salivating at the thought of a hot sandwich from bites.

Earlier on I got several runs just above 30 but not enough above for 10secs average so I rigged the 7.0, then promptly went in with a crap waterstart and used my harness hook as a sail killer. Its fixed now with tape and should hold as its only a small puncture.

The Mistral 95sl is now quickly becoming my weapon of choice as it felt comfortable today, even with the 6.3simmer on which I found heavy in all past sessions, this session it just took the gust and held really well. I did appreciate this on the trek upwind as it was damn lumpy out in the chop about 2/3 of the way to the academy, and gusty! I just need a session with more west in it to have a good old practice with my gybes on the board without worrying about losing ground downwind for speed runs. I made a couple but clearly stalled which is why the nm and alpha times are 0.

Great to see so many people out in January.

Duncan, in future just email me the files, or Swags and we will sort them for you. If you have problems with Java then install firefox and it should sort it, did for me.

Checked my Alpha as produced by GPSarPro and no way was it right when reviewing the track, deleted and reposted to gps-speedsurfing manually and updated here. I was surprised as it appeared to be an all time PB, used the 2nd one listed by the software which looks genuine on the track.

Nice one Yorkie,

good to to see you got some speeds hope you get backed up.,...

Is this a first? The Matrix does not have the 2sec, or 5x10average for the month now. Great speeds Ian, Jim and Simon!

I guess we will have to wait for The Matrix Reloaded.

Great set of Pbs, team!

Glad to see you guys have thawed out.

Yes, great session. Looks like all their ice melted and flowed Down Under. :)

Division 2?

Well some very good times indeed just waiting for Will boy and Gilesey,

Just goes to show one good day makes such a difference! As for Div II thingy i suppose i have made myself look very silly indeed.

Anyway well done all and hoping to be sailing with you all soon, find out if my ankle is ok thursday? Fingers crossed.....

Woo hoo, Great session Guys, hopefully it won't take to long for you all to defrost before the next one

some more good points for the month great stuff guys .

Great to see you some of you guys in Southend. Cracking day!

Duncan: Try changing the command in gpsarpro.bat to "java -Xmx512m -jar gpsarPro.jar". A while back my machine refused to load GpsarPro and that did the trick for me (i.e. changing max memory from 1024 to 512).

Great Team Effort!!!!!!!!1111

Wow guys - incredible team effort and 25 PB's to boot.  I see Jesus came fourth.................and said, let there be wind [boom boom]

Frozen Toes, ya mad pommy bastards  Just warm, wet & no wind in my neck of the woods

Good to see you guys back on the water. Must still be cold though

Hi Mark

I have posted some speeds from windless portland the other day

Cheers

Adam

Welcome aboard Adam! How did you manage such speeds without travelling anywhere? No distance result for the day, at least that will be an easy PB to beat. Did you not stay for sunday, it was another cracking day with more consistent wind down the academy end.

No worries Adam,

Good to have you onboard lets hope we get some more wind soon??????
