Hood River Sandbar, Hood River, OR, US

Sailworks Retro 5.5, Goya Bolt 95, MFC 45 degree 34 cm weed fin. Wind: 22 15G32

The weed fin worked great in allowing me to sail through the weedy area on the way out/in to/from the sandbar. Didn't even feel any drag going through the weeds.

While Roo got his 40+ 2 sec goal today, I got my goal of one good catapult dismount Laughing. Other than the catapult I'm slowly building my tolerance to risk...

Hood River Sandbar Channel, Hood River, OR, US

Loft RB 5.6 Naish SP 80 Vector Raven 26

Nailed the bugger, Bitchin Betty was more excited that a hooker when the fleet comes in. Called out 41 a few times so knew I had cracked the 40 for this location, a first. Very little sandbar, about 50 yards of flat water then out into the chop to put the hammer down. Gusting 30 knots at times and big sand clouds rolling off the sandbar. Upwind a kiter got lifted off the beach and rag dolled it was so gusty, broken neck and leg! Ouch.

So the kiter with the broken neck was the reason for the ambulance? Bummer.

Nice one roo well done. 40 is a big effort on that short strip of flat water. Great spot!
