Another fast day at the pit. Quite a few PBs happening. Difficult conditions due to the angle being very broad for the best part of the day making some interesting rolling chop. Second fastest 5x10 for me (on doppler 0.3 shy). Almost half the distance was walking. I feel broken now. N46 EIII 5.5m, CL24A

thanks guys! Had a really good trip over there. Thanks for the hospitality again guys (Matt and ****). Looking forward to another crack. Stoked to see the crew in action again. Great to see the speeds going up yet again. In the past days like this were considered "too hard basket" because the wind angle had a lot of west. So its really impressive to see the general improvement. Its not so easy to go fast in these conditions, so well done to everyone who got out. Hope the sand has come out of the eyes by now. Carl- I promise to get some practice with the axe for next time... Hamma demonstrated how crap I am at chopping wood.

that's a deal lockwood!

But please drop me a mail a few days upfront when you think record conditions will be there!

Best would be to sail 4 or 5 days in a row and to break all records 5 times;-)

Hi Mr Lockwood, great story.

Caught up with Luke the next day in N.Z when I visted the Kaipara Lagoon.

He did comment that Sandy Point is perfect for speedsurfing but not so good for kiters.
