Melville Beach, WA, AU

hmm that was interesting. 5.6m (yeeeehar) 91 spw25. Scared myself today. Got a nice gust and gave it some... and then hit some cross chop at full tilt- got airborne powered up downwind, landed into spinout... bounced off next chop airborne again... landed more sideways and grabbed rail... which straightened the board enough to keep going for a few seconds before repeat. Checked pants. Thought that was a waste of gust. Look at GPS and it was my fastest run for the day (incl 2 full launches and near-crash experiences). That made my mind up to stop. Too dangerous.

Good to catch up with the crew (at a distance of course) and recharge some strong wind adrenaline batteries...

Amazing  speed in very gnarly  conditions. No smooth! It was quite something to  watch you sending it in that chop. No one else came close. When I saw you fully lit on 5.5 and the smallest sail I could rig was 5.4 I decided to spectate only. Some vicious  gusts  coming through. Respect to the master.
