Hood River Waterfront Park, The Gorge, USA

Naish Bullet 95, NP EVO 6 6.4 RDM, Vector Volt 30

Didn't expect the wind to pick up so only packed 1 board 1 sail, then the wind came up! Could have have had easy 41kts on the smaller gear but launched the big stuff off the wind and held on. Looked good down towards the sandbar so headed down for a few runs, not much sand but sweet runs sending it out through the chop. Tried some different techniques for alphas and they paid off, 3 in the 24 knot range. Lots of PBs for my Naish Bullet. Took yesterday off to rest and it's blown for 6 days in a row and no sign of letting up. Amazing run of westerlies for this late in the season. Few more aspirational goal numbers for Barton!

Nice alpha Roo! And 2 sec. Couple points up in rankings for you, one point up for me after today's session and now we have 17 each. But now that I got lesson from Nina on distance sailing, I know exactly what to do LaughingLaughingLaughing

Roo, Great Numbers! These numbers are too high to even be aspirational for me :)

Great to have some healthy competition. The more the merrier, glad to see you posting some big number Dennis. I think you have gone faster than Boro has in the USA so it's all to play for until the end of the year. Speed season ramps up here over the next few months so lets see some huge numbers get posted!
