iso 86 TR-7 5.9m Decrepit weed 26 noice session

5.8m koncept, f2 58 sx, 24cm pepefoil. Good session on the water with some of the mob.

Safety Bay, WA, AU Carbon Art SP50, NP RS Slalom MK IV, 6.2, 23cm Sawn off Flying Objects Weedy

Hit the water too early when the tide was too low to use the bar, when the strip opened up for business I went and had a blast but was half stuffed allready. Was joined by JJ Snake and Pointman plus Rod and Mitch. All three of the Pinnas Boys are still going now and have done some really good speeds.

I think it is time for a new speedy weedy, I reckon the sawn off is costing me speed these days when I am trying to run tighter in less pressure. Will have to do some investigation when I get time.

I am off to sea again this week so have fun guys

Quick  sesh on the trusty 68w Nude, 6.3 TR8 and the 32 C3 sting 2,

During my hour i ripped footstrap out so next 20 mins went barefoot on frontstrap. Called it a day as i have a snice cut on little toe. Off the water for a while. Good to see everyone out having a go. The 68w is now my favourite board.

my mission of doing an hour went out the window when the wind got up 74ltr manta neilpryde v6 5.5  Safety Bay, WA, AU

Tabou Thunder 70cm, NP RSR Eii 6.2m, JP Weed 31cm

Almost didn't make it today as some of my customers decided that today was good day to test their phones and our after hours services

Got down there late (3pm) to find every body saying "it was nukin" which roughly means they had to rig a sub 7m sail, looking at the conditions decided to flag the hour and see what I could do with the board, my iner "Tim the tool man" was telling me 7.0m but everyone else was telling me 6.2, made the mistake of  not listening to Tim.

Digging into the deep dark depth's of my trailer, I managed to find a sail covered with cobweb's and crusty through lack of use, stunned to find that it rigged on a 430 mast and that I still had one that small even managed to rig it reasonably well it felt so tiny I'm used  to feeling that, just not in a sail.

Had a chat with Hardz who was lamenting about his big fat arsed gybes but had a high 47 on the dial, I've got to be honest I thought it was going to be embarrasing getting hammered by  kiter boy but it looked some tough numbers to beat.

First run gave us a 35 on the dial, woo hoo nice start, found a good spot to lauch and run from and had a play, was having a ball out there Shane had his porno eyes on today and was giving it the beans even after having a solid dismount and mast imapct strength test he was going all out.

Evets turned up a bit later, as well as Webby, the four of us were having a ball out there, twas a lot of laughs.

Got a 38.29 on the dial which ended up with a massive freckle clenching tail walk (springies are good for easy drainage) could not believe it, new PB for a +100L  board for me (unfortunately got realspeeded).

The 7.0 would have been better for the bear aways as the 6.2 was running out of puff, still it was a whole lot of fun out there, decided to call it quits when I hit somemystery wild life which didn't like a 31cm weedy in the side, gave me a look around the front as well.

Awesome fun sailing with the boys, this is what the GPSTC is all about, the buzz was great.

Top work there guys on the hours and corners.

Congrats Shane on the PB More to come Dude

Went for hr and alphas, stuffed up both!

Did the hr with the 48 and 21cm woody weedy and the koncept 5.0

Had a big stack going behind a big stink boat, span out in it's wake, stuffed too many gybes and the runs were too short. Looked too choppy in the middle to do my usual downwind run from one end to the other.

After lunch changed to the 43 with the 18cm 45deg for the alphas, most of them were too wide, had a 25.14 at 58m, and a stack of 24s at 65m.

Fastest max speed I've had doing alphas, had a 31.9 on the dial after one attempt, wasn't too wide because I was going too far downwind, the 2 legs are fairly parallel, the gybes are just too wide, may be the 43 doesn't carve as tight an ark as the 48, or am I just out of practise?

 Edit just booted into windows and checked the GPSarPro figures with realspeed, almost identical, but realspeed gives me a better hr, so I've claimed it!!!!!!

brief sail with Elmo, Shane Webby and yoyo. I got wooped by a muppet.... he was flying

JP45S, 5.8RSSII Pepeweed 23 .  Heard a loud crack and could not see what had broken. Did 2 mor 34 kt runs then saw hole in my sail. Fortunately I had been concerneed about the age of it and had bought another so went back out on RSREIII 6.2. Unfortunately wind had dropped.

Wish the wind had stayed in, I had not holed my sail and I had started earlier, there was more speed out there for the taking. No I cannot say that! I am lucky to have sailed at this great spot!

A great but short sail. Wow Elmo was quick on his big freeride board
