Area 45, Mahers Landing, VIC, AU

Last hit out before LG. The day promised a lot but the wind stayed E and never got any teeth. Still fun as the locals stayed away Kiss and the SHQ freestylers came and had a play. Tim and I swaped gear and I tried a few flicks and spins. He looked very smooth on the go fast gear, I looked like a gumby. I tried a few different banks but it just wasn't happening but a few hrs in the water after work is gold. Bring on next week.

Lake George, SA.

Another FUN day at the weedy lake.

I launched at the 5 Mile but sailed down to the spit immediatly. I had rigged my 5.2m Koncept and got out the speed board, but just before i went out I decided that it didnt look quite that windy, so I took the JP70/54cm slalom instead. It was the right thing at the time as I was slightly underpowered. Had a nice downwind run the the spit looking for the weedy falt bits, but none jumped out and grabbed me so I kept going right to The Spit. there I found a likely bunch of characters havinf a blast in the section of nice flat water behind the spit.

had a bit of fun there without going much over 37 for a while. Then the wind kicked and suddenly I was getting a little bit faster every run. I kept hanging on with the aim to crack a 40 on the JP which I had not done before. Now I really wanted the speed board. Georgio very kindly offered me a couple of runs on his Partck 48cm speed and it felt great wth a peak of 39. Then, back on the JP, I I finally got a 40 peak on the GW screens but not a 2 sec.   That was the last straw, so I pounded back up to the 5 mile for mt speed board. I talked Kempster into going back with me and we drove around and rigged again.

I did slightly better speeds than earlier but still no 2 second 40. It seemed like the wind had peaked while I was away. 

After all that it was just a great fun day on the small gear and with great company.
