Just had a briefing on this and it’s not good. 70% mortality rate in seals, extremely high death rate for black swans. Tassie Devils and Tiger Quolls vulnerable due to their feeding habits. Officials are looking at vaccines for critical bird and mammal species that have very small populations in wild. Hopefully enough survive this.

This is all very impressive.
I've been wondering if the leaders of the pack consider the foil a use of fair means.
Kato, your reply that it's hard anyway sounds as if you approve of using the foil. Have I got you right?


Foil/Fin it’s all hard when you’re pushing long distances. I believe he got to 750km ish but haven’t seen anything official.

I’m no long distancer nor foiler. Would I be correct in thinking that foiling would be easier on the body but harder to concentrate when mentally tired ?



It’s all hard, took at month to recover. You underestimate the toll on your brain, the body training is easy. A colleague just did a 100 km run and found the same thing. Went easy on him for a week then no more sympathy…….harden up 😜

26 no issues, when the topic said small fin I was thinking below 20. Your only concern will be jibing as the fin might pop out mid turn
