So I made the shout on the seabreeze for "Speed Bunnies" and early on from 550 to 8am the river was all mine. Then 2 more bunnies were on the water-I followed MR.Ezzy-yellow board and did not turn around for MR.Neil Pryde as I was going for a fast NM (which ended in a serious frisbee impersaonation). But on the beach was MR.Speed Bunny himself or should I say the Australian Grey hound of speed- Spotty. We shared rigging tips for KA Sails and I think he might have learnt something from meWink

Next time I will launch at the Yacht club if I can sneak in or from the boyscouts hall just under heathcote' cos the breeze was much better there.

It was an on off sail as you can see by the wind but the Hyper did its job and started to crank upwind when I dusted off the 60cm. The 7.5 was perfect sometimes too much and often not enough. BUT... I did not make magic 30 and shall keep trying. The feeling of truly flying off the fin makes me think all that time training on weedys for the LOC could have been more fun with a pointer!!

So if you are thinking about a Dawn raid I say "see the sunrise, the breeze build and start huntin' wabbits"

yeah meeting Spotty was great... the ride always good - planing and fanging in flat water.
