I had high hopes after yesterday's PB's as this wind direction is better, less choppy. The added wind strength proved to be too much.

I'd never maxed over 33 knots until yesterday and I'd have been over the moon with the max display of 33.02 before then. Still pretty happy to get 33 knots 2 days in a row.

After yesterdays Arctic hard core conditions I had a feeling today  had a chance of being pretty good. The wind swung round from WSW to WNW about 1pm and then slowly eased its way back  to a Westy, wind strength was then up and down until about 3pm when some  50knot  squalls came thru, reckon Thorpy could of handled another 10knots the way he was sailing.

Nice to have Jacques VDH here to give us all a good beating, his board looks jet propelled sometimes, and Wouter some massive PBs CONGRATS to all.

Personally I couldnt get into the 44avs maybe equipment or just plain knackered.

Another GREAT DAY.

Thanks Paul and Cathy for a great week. x

I was happier on Wednesday, this one was a bit extreme. I was waiting for the odd lull, but there weren't many of those. Most runs ended in a crash for me. Also found I kept being unhooked by the chop. Ready for a couple of days rest now.
