Nice one Peter!!! Congratulations on PB!!!

Looks like a great place for speed sailing. Congratulations on a very respectable PB.

Thanks, Boro and Anita. It was great yesterday, but today with a few miles more wind, a slightly different wind direction, ~15 cm higher water level, and more chaotic chop, it was a bit much for me. I think the meters here are smoking something - it was supposedly just 4 mph more wind today, but my smaller gear (5.6 and 72 l speedboard vs. 6.3 and 99 l slalom board) felt like too much. Nina thought the same - her 3.4 today was just as overpowered as her 4.5 yesterday.

I still think this spot would be almost comparable to some of the great speed spots in Australia in the summer, though, when the water level if lower and the sea grass has grown in.

30-40 and choppy is a lot to handle. Speed board may not be the best choice??? Small slalom boards may be better in chop if you are after speed sailing in those conditions. In any case keep your teeth tight LOL.

30-40 and flat on the other hand is dream conditions. Speed board and one size larger sail on flat water works perfect. Keep looking for that flat water there...

The chop was not that bad, Boro, you probably would have mowed through it. It was just a bit too much for my inner chicken. I've had several session at BIB and SPI where I switched from the Falcon 99 to the W54, and the speedboard handled the chop better. But there might be a limit to that, and the Falcon 89 (or my XFire 90) may indeed be the best choice. We had some nicely flat water today .. but with 10 mph less wind.
