Green Island, QLD, AU

JP 81L, 56 cm, Naish 6.0 Redline, Wind still gusting around 30 knots

At least I managed to match sail with good board for this choppy conditions.

I wish I would learn one day to gybe small board properly

Hey Peter, it looks like you're getting some fast runs up there. Enjoy! Finally you pulled out the JP 56. I was wondering why you were using JP 68 over last 3 days in such conditions.

Peter, Awesome sailing. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I think sailing with a 8.0m sail in 20+kts has been good training. Well done and enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi John and George. Yes riding small board is real pleasure in such conditions. I wish you were here mates. Good fun for everybody and Green island waters are unbelievable beutifull specifically when sun is shining. 

BTW many sailors (Vando including) have been using 7.0 and big 97L isonic in this 35+ winds. If not the fact I saw it myself hard believe it is possible.

hey mate glad to hear you are ok after your know, i tried to ring you yesterday. Id have gone up if i could mate but work had me pinned down. Small boards are really satisfying, those guys are really good mate but on top of that they you have to have your gear really well setup and be super committed Laughing

 

97 litre is my small board Cool great work on surviving and producing a great result Pete
