Great day out at Milang with dad and a heap of other people. Onboard held their demo day this weekend which was awesome.

Cant even rememba what i used for the day i treid out out that much new gear... Gear i think i used was something along the lines of a JP X-cite Ride 120L with 6.7 Neilpryde Hell cat or Helicat or something (no cams)... Then A JP Freeride 118L with a sail which looked exactly the same as the one i had but had cams and that so was something different. All awesome 2009 gear, sails brand new to crisen. Then i took my My Starboard S-type 93L with one of their 2009 5.4 superfly's or something i think... cant remember ha ha, it didn't have cams anyway and was a touch underpowered at times with it. All up i love all the gear, i can just dream though no way in hell i could afford any of it.

Dad had a great sail on the Hell cat/Helicat thing with the 120L JP X-cite Ride that i was using earlier. First time his been on a "small" board and first time he was in both footstraps with them outboard and he loved it. Said he found it really really hard getting in to them both, but once he was it was awesome. He was using it for quite a while but unfortunatley when i packed up and gave him the GPS he only got one run in before the wind dropped a bit for a while and he came it. His speeds are improving so much now which is promising, going well... Obviousily this isn't his whole session either so a bit annoying that.

Anyway great day out sailing with HEAPS of people on the water. Great to try out different bits and pices also and it's always nice to dream ha ha. Wait for some to come up on the second hand market.

Below is my GPS track for the day: Also thanks a heap to Onboard for putting on such a great show and letting me try everything lol!!!

Cheers, Bubs
