eXTREMELY QUICK IN THOSE WINDS, there Speed look to be up around the 31.1 knot mark, that's fast for something that big, however Elmo and I were doing 35 knots on the Mandurah estuary today, so it's all relative??

Greenleader, was a bloody good day this side. In the end couldnt handle it too much squashed air and too much chop.
Elmo not so happy, big dent on head by sounds of it. Must have hard nut cracking it like he says he did

But yep was real good day

There was a vid floating around of same setup but as someone else said in slightly more wind and the Poley and kiter smoked them.

I think it was titled $10mil vs $10k, may have originally been posted here.
