Dad walked me upwind to the weed beds where the speedsailors go so I could work my way down to the boat ramp.  Mum told Dad off for letting me go out in such strong wind but since I could stand in most places it was OK.  I used Keith's weed fin and it was great!  I had a sail with Keith, Alex and Dad and loved every minute.  I was flying along and felt that I had the best day of windsurfing ever.  It was the fastest planning I've ever done and the best secret spot in St Georges Basin.  1.5m sail, Starboard Kiddie, 25 knots, Sanctuary Point, NSW, AU

Had a little blast on KEEF's board up at the weed beds,25 knots ,stacked with power Pryde 5.0 sail and a nice CA slalom board-nice ride.

I needed a weed machine to go to the weed beds where Elli was sailing.

I have seen alot of good kid windsurfers in my travels,but what I saw Elli do today was significantly greater than anything I have ever witnessed a similar aged child do! 

Consistently planing,sheeting in hard,in footstraps,rarely dropped the rig,going out 500m,90+% perfect clean gybes in 25 knots!

Every windsurfer there stopped to watch and was stunned with the way she made 25 knots look easy.

She counldn't get enough of those bearaway runs,she even wanted a bigger sailSurprised

I can't wait to watch her progress over the next few months,this is now the stage where the progress rate goes through the roof,and with her attitude and keenness she is really going to go through the roof.
