Starboard S-Type 126, Loft Switchblade 8.5, 40cm Curtis fin

Wow, just wow. I love this new board. It irons out the chop and paves a smooth path. It does exactly what I bought it for - a fast smooth ride through chop. I'm sure it's a lot faster than I am!

It was a typical NEer today. Slog out to the runway, then BAM 15-18 knots all the way to kurnell. Troy and I did four runs across, then I decided it was time to check out the new toy. I was a bit underdone on the 6.8, but the CA just pops up on the plane and runs with it.

Jimmy's Beach, NSW,

Heat 5 NSW Windsurfing series

Apparently there was a wind reading of 9knots on the course, my 12.0 told me more like 15-18knots.

Had lunch & rigged a 10.0 which was just right, started getting a bit scary towards the end, probably around 25knots.

Nothing the chicken strap couldn't handle, absolutely buggered...

Narrabeen Lake, NSW, AU

15 boats racing, 2 largish start and rescue boats, pin end 50 meters upwind and bottom mark dead smack in the middle of the bearaway point, 20 windsurfers including quite a few kamikaze peanuts and you have 2-3 foot cross current chop, clinch your clacker, close your eyes and wish the gusts from 10-25 knots align the planets and you have todays session. So whats different at Lake Dangerous!!

Point and pray!!!

Back to freakin' work tomorrow after hols, how am I gonna get shoes on???

JP V 68, RSR 7.8, 40cm crap fin.

Had a lot of fun on the second run of my new AB+59.

BUT, could have gone much faster if I wasn't so scared of being catapulted... Fin sits too deep in the tutlebox. Need ot sort that out.

Thought I'd gone faster than that, with the GPS showing a peak of 35.7. Probably for the 1/2 a second I was in free flight during one of my scarier moments..

Finally got a great video of one of my better lay-down gybes recorded for posterity. I've upload to youtube...

Late sail, full of holes and underpowered, but still great to be on the water after a month of no sailing.

Hard to get balanced & hard work in the gusts with 7.0 Maui Titan, RRD & 42 Maui fin.

Jimmys Beach Hawksnest 15-25knts NEster 

Heat 5 NSW Series. Went in three races out of 4. Place something like 5th, 4th and 1st in the FE+. 

Wind really picked up after 3pm. The fleet came in for a break after the 3rd. I picked up a brick off the beach to avert someone stubbing their toes, threw it into the bush and instead ripped a gash out of my finger.......Dame it! Sat out the last race and T. Ford picked up the 1st.(He came 2nd in the previous)!

Started on Starboard Formula 160,  VMG K76 cut down, NP EVO II 10.7 first race.

Swift switch down to Starboard Formula 160, VMG K70, Race 700 NR, NP RSR 9.8 in the last two races.

Nationals start on Wednesday. Wind throughout the wk predicted to be stronger again. It's going to be interesting & definitely not for the fait hearted. Bring it on!

Just picked up a new GPS, GT-31 so google map and full stats from now on
