4796 days ago What a great trip to Lake George. My aim was to see if I could crack 40 knots and it did take me quite a while. I sold my RS 5.8 and updated it with Anthonys EVO 3 5.5, Anthony rigged the sail for me and kindly lent me his JP 49 speed board for the day. I had only previously had a handful of rides on a speed board and I didnt know how it would go. The board and sail combo felt amazing. To start with the wind was only moderate and every time I tried to reach downwind there was no wind in the sail and I wondered if I was going too far downwind , so I was only doing 38 to 39 knots. Eventually I did a 40.17 on the screen and I was over the moon. The wind picked up that little bit more and the combo really started to work. I then done a 40.59, 41.929 followed by a 42.5 which I really couldnt believe. Even at these speeds it felt so controllable and it still felt like I needed more wind.
I really didnt think I was capable of these speeds and I am sure that I wouldnt have done them without the help from Anthony, thanks for the lend of the gear and concratulations on your PBS.
