Beachport, Lake George again.

SE 25 to 28 constant.

F2 sxs, 5.0 KA Koncept, 24 choco weedie.

Smile Second sail on the sxs, very happy as smashed my hour on it easily and had some upwind it it as well.

Embarassed the alpha was only 0.1 above my last best but it atomatically claims it for me, my top 2 alphas where exactly the same though.

had planed to go for alphas next sail after a bit more practice on the board but ended up not missing one gybe on it today. man the flat water helps the gybes.

had the sail set tight for comfort across the wind for my hour attempt so not quite full enough for downwind speed (need to get an adjustable outhaul)

Wink 2 kiters out from the spit, have never seen kites crash so much before, both ended up tangled in the weed and walking in in a mess.

 

 

LAKE REPORT..........

 Fantastic conditions today, probably the best sail I have had all year, wind was so consistnt and water so flat,

Smile at the end was doing down wind runs over glassy water and looking at the gps and its sitting on 35 knots and I had a 5.0 on !!!

the level is still sailable easily with a 24 weedie but upwind of the weather station is very weedy and lower so that nm run is out of play now.

but as seen by the pic can still sail through the middle areas ok.

epic session Jimbob - looking at the Google earth overlay and the speeds you get make me very jealous!

Surely there is a location like this near me somewhere!!!
