Pleased with a PB alpha. Tried for an hour 3 times, first time was tired after 20 mins but then found my second wind. Second time wind dropped as did third :-(

Had a great time out today, bit disapointed with my speeds. Good to see Pete out.

Great Formula session,

Cornwall was left in a real state after the rain last night and at one point we were more or less flooded in!! All ok by the morning though

Got on the water super early, and the wind steadily increased, but not really enough for a slalom board. Top fun on the formula and had a great workout and enjoyable sail. Looking forward to getting a decent rig and more importantly a debiochet for this thing! The current fin is poor to say the least.

Unfortunately couldn't go to Portland today as Jonny and Simon went up. Hopefully next time.

Its amazing the negative effect that the Luderitz event has had on the speedsailing scene like some had predicted, never seen so many posts come in on a horrible rainy day LOL!

1st time out with my new 6.4 x-15 and so close to new PB's,bit of tuning needed(and work on technique :-))

Got one run that was proper on fire scared the shit out of me to be honest straight out through the chop a little bit to far from the beach and very bumpy for my liking bit of a tank slapper. Very happy with Nm in the harbour strange because it was quite smooth and a totaly different way of achieving it. Same start and finish point just a different way of getting there.

Come to realise i need to knuckle down to go faster and not play so much.....

Great to see Simon H make the trip up with Jonny and get out at portland again! real shame he had gps problems.

Sadly this was  my last ever session on the trusty old falcon 104l what a great board, shes off to a new home now,  have fun Joe!

Hi Swagger, Couldn't make it today, unfortunatley we had plans made for the day and only had 2 hrs first thing in the morning -  but two of the lads from down here came up for the day. Got three weeks off at Xmas so hopefully will come up to Portland for a sail then. Good speeds posted nice one!!

Nice NMI swags, that motivates me to get over 28 even more. Tried a different route myself (same one as Camel did his portland record) but kept backing off where I thought I may go over the concrete blocks.

Adam, make sure you let me know when you are coming up, will be great to say hello

I just did another PB - 6.5 plates at the Gurkha, my stomach hurts!
