Kyeemagh NE 15 -> 25 gusting close to 30

iSonic 90, Loft Switchblade 7.3 36cm Talon

iSonic 90, KA Koncept 5.8, 32cm Goldwing

The seabreeze switched on at 15 knots but was a bit patchy up at Kyeemagh. I spent the first hour doing runs across the bay to Kurnell until the wind filled in. Then it switched up a gear to 25 knots and it was time to change sails/fins. It was such a great day on the water!

Well that was fun... and about as much as I can handle on a 7.0m sail!

Stacked a few lay-down gybes, but pulled off about 5 as well. Getting pretty good at them, if I do say so myself.

Can't wait for the photos!

The forecaset was for 20kts but weeeeee had gusts of 30!

New PB too. Software said 34.48, besting my prior record at 34.40 on the GT31! Last run and i called it quites, my arm was so tired I couldn't even gybe after getting back upwind from that run... exhuasted!

JP 101, RSR IV 7.0, talon 38 / 36

Kyeemagh, 20-25knots

Solid breeze & not too lumpy. Good to get some speedy runs along the runway, need a smaller board! and the track to show my 33.37 2sec peak.

Awesome day up at Booti Pt. Great bunch of guys and girls and some wicked conditions. Got there early enough to rig a 7.0 for a couple of runs then change down to 6.4. Sweet runs out to the big chop and then bear aways in the flattish water under the bank.

Great conditions and heaps of sailors out. Super glad we called it for today, big thanks to Gabe and all the locals who have made a sweet area.

Cool to catch up with old sailing friends and meet some new ones. Kinda bummed I didnt get a PB, GPS showed 34.93 and felt great but got knocked back.

Falcon 99, Evo IV's 7.0 and 6.4, 24cm reshaped.

Great speed Alfa! That was a bumpy run down the runway.

Hey Larko, it looks like you're on to a winner with the GPS weekend idea. Hopefully we can get another one in Jan when things quieten down a bit. TWO THUMBS UP!!

[edit] I just noticed that you were damn close to a 2sec PB too!
