Melville Beach, WA, AU

 

On the water at 8, very gusty, best run was in the middle of the river almost on the northern side.

 

Did 1 run too many in a big gust, the Venom 42 rode up out of the water and over I went.

Suspected fractured ribs and 2 fingers. Feel a bit of relief with 2 Dramadol down the hatch.

Had more injuries this 6 months since starting speed GPS than in previous 35 years of windsurfing combined.

It sure is fun though...

Futura 101, Code Red 6.1, Venom 42

Happy 18th Sean - I hope you had a big one.

Chop was nasty and the big board proved a handfull at times but good to get a sneaky morning session.

Good to catch up with Lao and Pointman for a chin wag.

Short loosener at melville with Pointman.

Horrible chop to start as wind had swung.

One long run across to Peli in search of a mile (sorry I couldn't match yours, Pointman, top effortLaughing)

Rest of session getting back upwind.

Quite a contrast to yesterday's sail!Surprised

Gusty & choppy at Melville. Mostly planing on the F111 + 7.6 TR7 + 38 Sting combo. Took off downwind for a mile and sailed all the way to Peli. Hit a lull half way and my speed dropped to 22K, so happy with a near 29. Took a while to get back upwind in the patchy breeze, so I called it a day not long after that. JJ in the wars again! Hope you're feeling better soon mate.

Nice afternoon sail, fairly solid for the first 40 mins then quite patchy. Water was very flay so I kept hanging around for "that gust" but it never eventuated. I always find a learn a bit of technique when it's very flat so I went home happy.

Congrats JJ on the corner and sorry to hear about the broken bits.

Surprised Horrified to hear of your crash JJ, sounds nasty. You were so hale and hearty yesterday.

Injury PB's are not the ones to go for!

Hope you're feeling better soon.
