all I wanted was enough wind to try out new board(no chance). Got 20 to 30+,too much board,sail,fin and wwwwwiiiinnnd. rigged and gave it a go anyway.

Almost 5kms of survival (with 1 almighty catapult) was enough for me. think 2sec peak was right before being slung.

Oh yeh! Real wind today. I reckon between 2 and 3pm was as windy as I can remember since last winters fronts.

lots of crew out with really small sails (its funny to see all the old school small sails come out for a run!!)

I wanted to try my new 6.2 reflex regardless of wind strength and I paid the price with the forearms blowing up after only 3 runs. Then I (yes Toby) snapped some more harness lines at high speed and if not for my helmet would have seriously ruptured my eardrum again!!! (wear those helmets boys)

Had a blast but it wasnt until I was really stuffed that I worked out the runs over some relatively flat water (wasnt really that flat at all?) and got some decent runs in until I could not hold on any more. So I say its successful if you had fun and didnt hurt yourself.

 

Sure that there will be some smokin speeds posted today
