Peel Inlet, WA, AU

Full on session at Liptons. Started on V6 RRD Xfire 98 and NP RSR E5 6.4 with 29 tribal weed. That was nice for about 30 minutes until it booted to about 30kn. Changed to 08 F2 SXXS and NP RSR E4 5.8 with 23 tribal weed - more control but some wild gusts from about 1.30 pm saw me flogged and heading home happy with the 42 peak! Will be interesting to see the final numbers for the day!

Just flew in from France last night so first sail for me in 2016!

Sailed around for a while with my iPhone in my pocket! Rookie error...Embarassed

Incredibly gusty in the late arvo at Melville and my little 5.7 wasn't really doing it, but it is great to be back on the water. Started on the Manta 49 but was mostly sunk to my waist so swapped to the Manta 59 which was quicker, but a little unbalanced with the 5.7 and 32 Talon.

Pelican Point, WA, AU

That was a hideous day out! First fang on the speed board. Started out at pelicans and did a few runs just as the wind cranked right in, the seas in the middle were head high! That was survival windsurfing at it best (or worst).

Packed up and hit Melville which was almost as bad as it gets, with massive wind shifts, gusts, lulls, chop, you name it! Anyway was good to catch up with a few crew.

6.3 KA, iSonic 54, 28 cm dodgy.

very short sail today,decided to head to liptons with the promise of good wind

ended up cruising back and forth in protection mode..

for me its been a frustrating week missing 4 days of sailing due to achilles tendonitis

which is finally starting to come good (at one stage last monday i was on crutches.)

 off to see the doc this arvo (mon) to get the results of the scans (then hopefully back to melville for a quick sail :)

peel. Yeeehar a bit of REAL wind for once. Made a day of it. Rigged 6.3m and started on the M112. Got a couple of 40s and a 41 on that then it booted! So out with the M95 and tribal spw23. Got a stack of 41s and landed a nice gust at Liptons for my fastest run with 43 on the dial. Rattly as hell following chop! Second fastest run was at Pt Grey heading back to liptons to the channel... mental but it was a solid gust and gear was totally in control. Loving the setup. Then decided to head down to that other point and a go at the NM. Snides rolled up and strangely I was underpowered a lot of that run compared to before. The curse strikes! Looks like I went just far enough. Overall a mint days sailing with every man and his dog there. Storm surge really limited the potential speeds with the only flat water over at Pt grey in the wind shadow so it was all about waiting to find a glory bullet. I was too impatient for that ;) The sail was superb. Didnt change it all day and was in control even when it went nuclear. Great job KA guys. Its a work of art.

PS posted tracks on ka72. Thanks Dylan! Just search for:

When 25 gets a new score in his top 25 you know it has been a special day.

36 isn't to be sneezed at in Melville on a gusty arvo. Nice going Chris.

that nm was literally just enough... Slowest speed was somewhere in the middle, but that was faster than the points either side of the start and finish! So literally timed it to the second somehow.

Epic Nm there Chris!!  Are you going to post your track? I'd love to know where you found 1852m of speed friendly water out there!!  Surprised

Knowing you, it probably has a gybe in it Wink

Smoking speeds as usual Peter Cool crazy fast!!

Jake, it was the run down Ward Point. Not exactly speed friendly but the wind and chop had backed off a bit at that stage.

Snides did the same run at the same time.

In fact, you were watching them with me...

this is my first sight of Chris on that run-the reason why i thought he had gone out wide..

awesome effort on the pb considering the further out you went the choppier it gotSurprised

Snides, it was pretty scary nm that day. I was close to catapulting a couple of times. I could have improved my nm by going a bit further (which I knew at the time) but it was just too scary to keep going because it was even choppier at the end.
