Nice DJ, another cool vid.

That new Glide seems to be doing the job for you, wish I could get a bit more water time with mine.

Thanks.

Don't you love those hot Melbourne northerlies in summer. Air temp 38-40+, water temp 20'ish. Fun factor, off the Richter! Was a fun downwinder.

And to answer Air's question, this was the first downwinder I have done on the JP, but I thought it went really well. Picks up the bumps well, big nose keeps it from nosediving and, as you can see at about the 1:15 mark, if you get back a little it turns nicely. So you can still 'surf' it on a wave - it's not a 'canoe'.
