Stansbury, SA, AU Gusty SW

Sputnik, 6.2 Saber then 5.4 NP raf, 30 weedy

Rigged the 6.2 and headed out. Was well overpowered in the bullets so came in and changed down to the 5.4. Pete arrived and took yhe fanatic falcon out. At times was well lit up but could only get kilometer runs in as beyond that the water was messed up on the rough side of the spit. Came in early to save something for Sunday when it,s a south easterly.

Boggy Lake, SA, AU

too strong for my gear today - it was a constant struggle to keep it all down and kept getting lifted onto my toes, threatening a 'pult. 

big stack when I caught the rail just on entering a gybe at lunatic pace - I flew over the nose with chin-tucked and my hands covering my head.  it all happened lighteningly quick - but I must have rotated and landed on my back as i came up a touch winded.  not too bad but then discovered the impact had blown my watch off, presumably the band gave way.  it's at the bottom somewhere keeping time for the carp now - it served me well.

anyways, while I was struggling, Sam and Carl were eating up the conditions.  i'd be unsurprised if they post some good figures today.

Rigged 6m hot sails maui on 95 fanatic with 33cm fin. Very hard to keep it together  today as was blowing its tits off and a little choppy. Fun day with the regulars. Carl was smoking out some good numbers. Think today is my best peak and average for boggy  :-)

We didn't get till late in the day,wind was gusty as normal and  did a lot standing around.Very hard to pick a line though the chop but lucky to get some hairy runs in.Had some very near crashes.Cant wait to sail in some flat water again.Still nice to get another quick sail in.

What a day - PB for peak and average at boggy lakeSmile.  At last we seem to have a decent run on northerlies and south westerliesCool.  Early in the day displayed a 39.67 and didn't remember doing a run that felt that fast - ended up a spike.  Later in the day managed a 39.2 to make up for itSmile.  Caught up with Sam and found he had done a 38 knot peak with a high 36 - 5 x 10 - PB for him too - well done you were smoking mateCool.  Absolutely loving the Hot Sail Maui GPS 6m, isonic 86 and R325 Black project combo - so fast and comfy through the chop - can't wait to get this combo to Lake GeorgeSmile

Wind was w-sw 23 to 30 maybe some stronger gusts. Sam and me found 4 x pointed ended tree branches in the water up near the bushes at the top of lake - BEWARE of this spotSurprised.  Great to see a decent crew out and good to catch up with Chris D againSmile.

Excellent day and ended up at the drags watching 8000 hp Funny cars smoke the 1/4 mile - LIFE IS GOODSmile.

2 sea sessions today,

F2 stoke 117, jp 36 weedy and 6.6 KA Koncept.

went out at 8.30 in the offshore northerly but it only lasted half an hour and swung to the west and started to drop so packd up and went back to te van and had a nanna nap.

after lunch was a lot better and had a good blast out to sea, was a bit bouncy at times as not enough swell to knock the chop down a bit.

Smile had a few nice big floaty jumps on the race sail.

really enjoyed the sea for a change.

well done the rest of the crew on some great numbers

afternoon session.

morning session.

Hey Norm - No golf on windy daysWink.  We pulled out a couple of spikes today - maybe the one you hit?  Trousers bummer about the watch - we'll have to let the carp know - no sunbaking on the top between 6am and 8.30pmWink.

Well done Sam and Carl. You guys were in fine form yesterday. You both made those conditions look effortless. Same for you Shane, and Andreas too.

I was way over-boarded yesterday to the point that I've spent most of the evening on the net researching my next mid 90l board. nice to be out on the water again, and it was certainly one of those days that makes you LOVE windsurfing...if you were on the right gear.

Always good to get out on the water.

great day for the SASD!

wow.  Sam and Carl; better numbers than I thought possible on Bog.  rare to have such powered up conditions there - sometimes fronts blow through like that but to have a whole summer afternoon of it?  it's been a long time since i didn't have gear small enough!  you guys clearly made the best of it.  inspirational stuff. 

Hamma - i learnt to windsurf on Bonney, and 37kts is just inconceivable, but if any one could do it...  Laughing 

i'm with Chris - time to start thinking seriously about a smaller board and...shhhhhh, here comes the missus.  everyone look innocent.

Wow Carl, nice late post.  Sounds like a bit of "Lord of the flies" action going up in the top corner there.  I think I have left a watch or two up there too Trousers as well as an old garmin...Was hoping to make it for a sesh but went car shopping insteadWink

Your second 39 peak at bog carl you are a f__king legend. Boggy is a far cry from a speed spot so to get numbers like that is awesome. Chris I reckon just making it out and back on the kit you were on is one hell of an achievement, glad it was you on that gear and not me. Look forward to seeing your new boardMoney mouth. Its a board size you just can't go without. Well done to all that survived the day. Good to hear norm is still alive:-) one hell of a good day with great wind

Cheers GuysSmile.  Tim same applies to you as Norm - no Car shopping on windy days and definately no working TrickyWink.  Sam amazing 5 x 10 considering you had to run out into 1/2 foot chop when doing 37+ knots and try and hold it for 10 seconds - well done smoking and nice corner tooCool.  Wasn't real flat but if you could get hold of one of the gusts and time some flat water i reckon a 40 peak might be possible.  Good to see Hamma back out and sure we will be seeing you soon at Lake George.  Trousers and Chris like Sam said a 90 odd litre board is a must.  You guys did well just being out on >100l boards - well doneSmile.  Can't wait till next time....
