hey Jord,
Just realised you've got the same board as me, we should get together sometime for a sail, your in leeming yea? Willetton here.
Crazys tomorrow for me
|
|
|
YEAH i will try get down, but i got my last 2 exams on wends, so i doubt i will get down, on thurs i will be down some where, even if it isnt windy
|
|
|
jordy, real nice sunny pics and windy too lucky you..anyways is the peter t. 82l about the same as the 85l f2 axxis or is this a pure wave board cuz mine was more or less labeled as a convertible..
|
|
|
|
i think it is labeled as a pure wave board, but compared to the new 2007/8 shapes, it looks more of a cross, between freewave and wave. but this could be purly because i had a freestyle wave fin on not a wave fin. never seen the axxis, but if its an older shape like this one (2000) i would think it would be similar.

Nice photos
What is the weed bank like on the western end like? I have not sailed there since working at the shipyard nearby several years ago. Last time I sailed there the west end was really shallow and seemed to be filling in year to year.
My wife wants to learn to sail in the sea rather the river and I found it was a good place for me to start sailing in chop.

the weed at this time of year isnt too bad. it still very patchy, but i was on a 21.5 cm fin, didnt hit it at all. just need to pick your path well. if you head further out near the peak of the rock wall its deap enough on me to beach start in deapth of around the tip of my harness.
for learning, why not try for a lighter day the other bay (southern) alot more sand, shallow, and can go for longer runs, before you hit deap water

Jordo, I see from the photos that you have put your fin in the wrong way!! I don't know how many times I have to tell you that if you want to get better than your old man you have to follow my advice....

Did you say you have a CUSTOM BOOM????? I have a question: WHY??? I always thought a boom is a boom is a boom...the only thing required of them is that they not break too soon after purchase. Please, brother jord070, expound on the wonders of your custom boom for us simple, off-the-rack boom users...

well its the technolimits custom ergal king.
they have much different shape than normal ones, they ar norrower and they are specifically design for the wave sails. its also got a clamp that moves so it stays flush with the mast at at times, doenst slide down and it is easier to clap on.
these booms are also made from one of the highest and strongest grade aloy's, so it last longer and it is almost as stiff as good carbon booms, and stiffer than some of the cheep carbon booms.
ontop of this the dia. is smaller than most, its 27mm and for my hands its a much better size, and the grip on it is much less abrasive to the hands, so i dont suffer from blisters when its really cold any more

so is this boom actually customised for you or is it a production boom that is called a custom?
|
|
|
its a production line, but its custom assembled, hand assembed. not custom for my personal use
