Well done on the Pbs, Tricky and Peter.

Mark

Hope to see more of you:-)

Tricky

Although I've had a 5 year break, back then there were no such beasties as all round good weedies especially upwind as the centre of effort on the fin is further back. The fin feels weird and looks weird when you see the fin whilst sailing! Having said that they may have improved?

Hoping to crank some distance sessions as fitness improves.

Nice going guys, nice pb's.

Not worth posting 2 just planing/sliding runs.  Hopefully I can wangle a mid week sesh!

Tricky with weedies you need to run an inch or 2 larger and your mast track and rear footstraps back a bit more than nornmal, I run all weedies and don't have any problem upwind, you seen my last trcks where I went up and down the whole lake that was with a 30 select freeride weedie bashed down to about a 29, the JP weedies are the pick of them though for me.

 just got my new Choco 24 weedspeed today, will try it in the missile on Fridy as are on arvo shift till then.

 Hey Pete I see you are going to be into some distance, pm me when you are as I quite like to crank along all day too, (have over 200 twice) and if we have 2 off us the same day all the better for the team, Sam and Carl can crank out the k's also.

 Hey Peter I see on the windsurfing SA website that back in the day you where a world champion in the windsurfer class...was that for course racing.

Peter

Good to have you back.

No issues with feet so all good.

Just need more TOW.

See you next time.

Could be receiving Blade 7.8 come Thursday 22nd, so hoping for a session possibly late that day. Also received new batch of C3 Sting2's (40,38,36,34)          Yes I just did course racing and I was never a champ per say just a steady sailor and if competing in last 3rd of the fleet. Maybe I did a tad better in old Windsurfer class over Fomula.

I intend to work harder in the distance arena because I just enjoy cruising:-)

I'll see about purchasing a couple weedy fins for Lake George. I've extremely fond memories of super flat water on the weed banks many many years ago. This coming summer or late 2011 will be mega as water comes back in. Maybe earlier....? When does it start filling back up?

Hi Peter, the channel to the sea is usually cleared out end of June for the big swells and high tides to push in, the water level is still pretty good for this time of year,actually the quality is great with clear water also bool lagoon is full for the first time in 10 years so we should have good fresh water flows as wellif the goverment don't redirect it to the coorong,  November to Jan is best for speed runs along the spit and Feb on the weed beds on the middle lake come into play for speed runs, the middle lake is nearly all weed now, I have been sailing from the 5 mile drift (end of gravel road) you definetly need a weedy to get out here, I have spare powerbox weedys. I start 5 weeks holidays friday so should be out when windy but will be in the sea mostly. if you are doing a distance day let me know and I will do the same,
