Jeff (13640km):  Melville Beach, WA, gusty as ! good fun, had to stop once I was getting tired. Didnt really trust there was enough water a lot of the time. KA 6.3, Mistral 112, tried a 21 delta for the start of the session then a 28 weedy. The delta was fun but did tend to lose its grip every now and then. The weedy just had me worried about hitting the bottom. Great to say hi to a few people. | ||||||||||||||||||
tailwind (7476km):  Melville Beach, WA, AU, M91;27 Tribal 27 WS;Reflex 6.2 then an Overdrive 5.4 Some good fun trying to find the bullets tried a 5.4 overdrive that I have had for over a year and never used it made things more managable but top speeds were with the 6.2 Was all set for the drive down to liptons but it was getting late and I got a message that it was not too good so stayed local. Spotted Jeff and Lester enjoying the wild stuff | ||||||||||||||||||
Boz (42999km):  3 categories    Peel Inlet, WA, AU
Well how much fun was that

Gustenzo (2220km):  Peel Inlet, WA, AU 96 Supercross 5.5 Gator 31 JP Weed. Awesome day! My first sail at Liptons, had a lot of fun. Would have liked to be able to get into the flats and have a cammed sail but alas use what you have. Caught up with Tim, Jake, Ken and Anita. Think most of the team came away with PBs or at least a very impressive result! Was good to get a feel for the area nad talk to a few locals who handed over some great knowledge (beware of the bank!). I think just after my 2 sec peak that I got chuckked by a gust and went skimming like a stone along the water. Nothing cracked beside a big smile. I'll be eye balling a few smaller weedies for the next while so I can get intot those flats! | ||||||||||||||||||
Snake (23888km):  6 categories    Liptons, WA, AU. Fun session in some pretty windy stuff for the most part. Great turnout of Pinnas with everyone pushing hard - awesome to see. SP47, RB6.3, MXR Speed Weed 22 (probably still in first gear), All the lead in the vest (8kg?) | ||||||||||||||||||
Flatchat (9962km):  Peel Inlet, WA, AU Liptonlicious!! What a great day to be at Liptons. Plenty of smiling faces and good wind to boot. I had one target today and that was to get over that 37knot hump which was starting to become inpenetrable. Great to see so many out and some big PBs being being broken. Now to crack 39!!

| Windxtasy (13917km): Peel Inlet, WA, AU 4.9K, M41 21 tribal weedspeed AAAARGGGH! I spent nearly two years on 33.97 before I could crack 34. Today I got a 35.18 on the dial and it has been rounded down to 34.999! Will it take two years to get a 35 2 sec? edit - whew! the GPSTC site has rounded it up to 35.00 Yay!! An interesting day. Looking at this morning's forecast I suggested a road trip to Liptons. Later the seabreeze graphs were not looking too promising, and a Fangy report from Coodanup sounded really good, so I called in there to check it out. "Acres of ripples" was the report, and it looked good except it turned out that those acres of ripples were very shallow and studded with weedbergs. Sailing through them was like playing dodgem cars. When the wind picked up and I needed to change down sails, I decided that a change of venue would be wiser and headed off to Liptons. I arrived at Liptons to find a very excited crew. It seemed just about everyone had scored PBs. Hardie said "There's a PB for the taking as long as you don't rig too big". I quickly rigged my smallest stuff and headed out only to be overpoaered on that. Amazingly I managed to hold it all together for one run and was amazed and excited to see 35.18 on the screen. I wouldn't have believed it except the 10 sec was 34! To think that three days ago I cracked 34 2 sec for the first time and now I have a 34 10 sec. I had a couple more runs which exceeded my 5X ave so I tried really hard to get 5 good runs but it wasn't to be. I would hammer through the chop powered up and then there would be no wind where the smooth stuff was. I would have liked to try out my fave spot down by Ward Point but it was late and it would have taken ages to get back. Eventually the wind fizzled and I gave up, but luckily just made a 5X PB anyway. I am pretty sure my 2 sec and 5X were faster than most of the drive down on the freeway. It looked like everyone was leaving Perth to go south for the holidays. The only evidence to counter that argument was the clogged up freeway coming back into Perth as well - all the people like me who have to go back to work tomorrow. I am excited by my 35, and my 5X PB, but wondering what might have been if I had arrived earlier, or if I had used the 47 board, which would have been better considering how inconsistent the wind was. Sorry I was last off the water. I missed catching up with everyone and enjoying the buzz of PB excitement. First time I have used the 4.9 Koncept on an rdm mast. I think it works! | ||||||||||||||||||
| Kenny (16394km): all numbers checked and verified! First time to speed sail Liptons as I missed the big day on Xmas eve. put on the 25 weedy which was just short enough to go over the weed without losing too much speed. had the first few runs and was getting 32s and 33s. Tim let me use his 6kg weight vest for a run and thats when I noticed the 37.1 knot 2s peak on the GW60. the Canmore showed a knot slower 2sec max so I was doubting the 37. Fortunately the GW60 data has been verified. Finished the day with some gybes which were nice to do on such flat water. A day to remember for myself and fellow Pinnas. Nice to meet Decrepit, Stroppo, Shane, Oaf and other mandurah regulars. I will have to come back soon. Thanks Slowboat for lending me the fin and Tim for letting me try out the weight vest. I might also need to invest in a vest (on second thought a water bottle would be a safer option as it wont sink you in deep water). 5.5 tr7, 97 Isonic, 25 tribal ws. | ||||||||||||||||||
Should have taken Stroppos advice from last time, found the sandbank at Point Grey in a spectacular way, Sandbank 1 Boom 0 Body Sore. Started off at Safey Bay but quickly realised Peel was going to go off. Snake your a champ mate awesome sailing. Firebob good to meet you that Carbon Art really looks the part. Tabou Rocket 95, 5.7 North Warp, 27 Tectonic
Never really liked the corner for wind - there's so much waiting around for gusts, and so many underpowered run, so all the best runs were over at the start of Pt Grey closer to the point, which was consistently windy, but also a super short run (wind wasn't across the full run). The runs were quite peaky and the 5x10 suffered a bit but really fun when the gear was powered up! Got my 40 for 2016, yeeeehar! | Comments |
