Coodanup, WA, AU Chook pond with to many to mention. Got my first 40 in Perth but stacked it. Dodge hip didn’t like it. Kept sailing and got the 41 and stacked it again, hip didn’t like it so I called it a day. Wind still blowing hard so I’m sure some big numbers will come for da lads. Still I’m happy with my numbers but not easy to pack up with so much wind blowing. 74 ltr FMX 5.6 R/Blade 25 WS 🤙

Big day Big crew out, some great speeds happening todah (not mineSmile) Richo champion 41+ and it wasn't the windiest part of the day. Slowie master class as is with Woody and Tim. Big Pinna turn out should see some brilliant speeds from the guys. Rob and Shroom out, Rob taking a stack but to be air there were a few stacks, I got thrown over the handlebars must have hit the bottom with my head as there was mud stuck to the inside of my helmet and on my shinny bald head, doidn't realise until slowie asked what was running down my face, Flex drone pilot extrodinair as well taking some happy runs by the boyz.. Too many people  to name but everyone was having fun.

6.2m Apache, Rapid 57/97L, Weedspeed 25.

Huge turnout... wind meters around the metro show the best wind was the hour before we got in there, but we still got some nice cruisy runs. One rain squall came through with some pressure- but not enough to get fully lit. Was nice just cruising around. Stacked two gybes tripping on the strap as I was stepping forward on the exit. Nice blue stubbed toe. At least Jim got the first one on the drone I think hahaha.

good times. And not too cold again!

yep finally some nukn wind. wind was nw and stayed nw so was hard to get to the long flat speed runs.

tide was superb so it was flat over the weedbank. tried 54 wave wand first but soon changed to the 47 with 16delta.

was hoping to have a few more high 5x10s runs but it started to become to gusty so called it.

thanks to Antoinet for keep an eye out for me in the bird hideLaughing specially because yesterday a 5m white pointer was

spotted in the harbourWink

Coodanup, WA, AU Morning shift with Boz, Woody and Richo.  Wind was really cranking and promising to be epic so mounted a few cameras.  Was a battle getting into the pond when Richo got his 40 but the instant I got in sun came out and wind dropped off and looked like being another challenging changeable Chook Chat and Chug session with some chums.  Was just enough puff to cruise about but not much more. The one big squall that came through I ran too early.  The I watched Richo get his 41 followed by a nice stack then it was sun out again and chug fest again.  Checked the fin and the trailing edge was torn half out and creating drag so decided to get out.   A huge amount of sailors all heading in for the afternoon shift...don't think I've seen so many.  Of course once rigged down wind came in again so went to get some footage with the drone.  Since I'd kept the wetsuit on thought about re rigg'n since it appeared i'd managed to sail the lull. But once back, Richo was waiting for me with some 'techinical' issues followed by a call from a tenant needing a hot water system troubleshooted so that was that.  iSonic86, KAR 5.2, FF22 Warp V2.  Video of some action. https://youtu.be/_SzpTuJHpI4

Nice sailing today Jim. You had the right idea with big board and small sail. It kept you moving when the wind backed off and when it went ballistic you had control. Cheers for the tech advice too mate 👍

Sllowie takes the glory again! Tim your making a habit of this and thanks for reminding us, it's sunnny and windy so had to be enjoyed. Ronnie with the wild card from Albany. Richo looked stoked when he came in with a super 41. Woody fast as always with a very smooth 5x10. Boz with another big k's session and Jim there's always the next session, hopefully you got some great footage before you had to leave.

Flex

DJI FPV  As far as FPV drones go it is a heavy dog at 800g with 0-100km/hr of 2 sec and GPS speed limited to 140km/hr but supposedly can do that speed in 49km/hr winds.
