Tony!!!Well done mate.

40+NM!!!!!!!!! Far out, i haven't had a 2 sec at that speed yet alone ave over a Nautical!!!!!!!  Awesome stuff Tony!!

pretty good NM considering the 5x10 average

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind words! It was great to get back to Lake George (hadn't sailed there for 16 years). Thanks to all the locals for sharing their awesome spot. It was whole new experience for me as I usually start the Missile by sinking the tail a bit but thats totally a bad idea there as the mighty weed monster grabs the fin and decides that you're not going anywhere. I was actually chop jumping the Missile (not good at 108 kg) at the start of each run to clear the weed.   Its hard to imagine how fast it would be there with an extra 10 inches of water as I was definately feeling the weed pulling back on the fin for a fair percentage of the runs. I guess it would chop up more though. Probably should have used the 21 cm assy instead of the 23. Might have helped....

Great to see so many more Pb's all round by so many guys and in such a range of diciplines.

Special thanks to Daffy for pointing out I was starting the Nm's too low down wind.  I only did 2 from the "right " start point - both over 41 's.

Perfect day though - sunny, warm water, flat water. - heaven.

cheers Tony

Smoking Tony - well done.  You forgot to add nice weed.

 Tony the NM and Jacques Alpha

Greatr alpha Jacques

Tony that is a superb mile, wow

Absolute bloody awesome Nm Tony, I guess we don't have to tell you that I can feel the excitment from all the way up here, big congrats mate 

well done tony ,thats a great effort

Tony!!!!!!! Absolutely obliterated what were some outstanding miles at the top of the table. Just shows that the Dutchies can be given a run for their money! No 3 all time, woohooo!!!!

Awesome corner, Jacques! What is next?

A 41 Naugthy with only a 44 peak, absolutely awesome Tony

Hi elmo,

I have a theory that 45 ish might be as fast as possible with that much drag of the weed on the fin. I could feel the board being held back quite a bit and then accelerating where the weed cleared. All my peaks were actually in the choppy part in the centre where the weed is much deeper. The nm tracks show a fair % of the run was at 43 wih 44.5 peaks but slowing to 39 in the weed, Its a trade off between chop or flat with weed. Another 8 inches of water and much faster 5 X's and peaks etc wouldn't be a problem.  

pray for rain.....

Wow Tony that is absolutely smokin!!

Great work mate. Congrats...

Brilliant effort guys, well done!

Well done guys.  Tony, that is a fantastic NM, good to see you power in those conditions.  Awesome. 

Welcome back Tony and what a brilliant way to do your first post in a while. Hope to see more of them

Awesome stuff Tony!! Big congratulations.

Great mile Tony! I know how hard it is to keep these kind of speeds for almost 2 kilometers. A mile is always longer than you think.

I'm in La Franqui at the moment i'm happy if i get close to this mile Tony well done 

Nice session guys...very jelous!

Awesome NM PB Tony, well done.
