Hi,
thanks to Srecko I just registered to your forum, and see many points of interest on it. Yes, Croatians are coming but you should definitely edit your country list because there is no Croatia at all (like many other countries too).
Thanks to Ben for interesting interview and support to our (small) WKC team.
You will have a strong support from Srecko too. He is incredibly edicted to windsurfing.
Take care everybody and injoy the wind.

I collected 16 entries so far, all scores are from Croatian spots:
Look here: http://windsurfing-koprivnica.net/e107_files/downloads/wkc_gps_hr.xls

Probably you will notice known Australian rider, Pierre.
He lives here in Croatia now, and he is second at the moment

p.s. We are not so fast, but somebody just need to be last

friendship is what's counts, right

also you can check Ben's interview for my site here:

The speedsailing over in WA has ended up being a great social club.

The competitiveness has just been an excuse to go out for a sail with your team mates and with crew from any other team. Awesome days out although parking can get to be a bit of a premium down in crabland on a good day

Now you can honestly say to the missus,


"I've got to go for a sail the Team needs me"

I'll have a go at Aussie, Australian words, that may be a problem.

crew = other sailors
crabland = The estuary at Mandurah Western Australia, where we have our speed run, it's famous for it's crabs.
missus = wife

Apart from that it looks reasonable English. But I think Elmo is saying that the GTC has formed a more social form of sailing. I've certainly found this, before I joined the "Mandurah Mob" I mainly wave sailed, which is a much more individualistic sport. Now I'm enjoying a great sense of community, not just with fellow team members but with all of the GTC competitors.

otherway, my team will bann me

@Gestalt. Yeah, Pierre become my friend in just few days, he is damn fast and he
is second at the moment. So, here i know few more riders which is damn fast too.
One of them is Oliver Biljman (thommen), he sail in Namibia too, but at the moment I can't reach his GPX file, some score from Croatian spot for my table.
There is more guys i know that are speeding, some of them don't use gps at all, and some of them i can't reach to get data for my table.

I am trying so far, so we will see what will happens in the future

Check out the score of last Croatian cup here: www.wsurf.net/docs/rez_hallowind08-jadrija.pdf
U will notice that Desnica which is first in my table, here is fifth, so will be nice to have scores in my table of first four guys, and there is many of them........

@ vando

Pierre is in team Moreton Bay Mob, right?
If I get this right, QLD is some shortcus of state, and you are the
captain of Moreton team... , right?

Anyway, Pierre is now live here in Croatia, and if he is ride here on Croatian spot
my duty is to put him in my croatian table (witch collects only scores from Croatian spots). I also have many of scores from Croatian riders but from Dahab, Greece or Namibia..... I decide to run only Croatian table where is just our scores.

Cheers

As you can see my profile, still there is no Croatia in the country list, so I
will be "Aussie from QLD" (if U want me)

thanx guys, you just rulz

so, my site: www.windsurfing-koprivnica.net/
is a small new site of my local crew, and we start to windsurfing at the lake
near our town. We are still amaters but we try to go on every good forecast
even when is low temperature. Our lake is still flat even in wind at 30+ knots, but
route is very short so we can't run some long distance.
We also got just one lake with lot's of speed potentional, distance to run is about 2,5 km. There is also almost flat even at 35+ knots, check out the lake here:
www.windsurfing-koprivnica.net//e107_plugins/autogallery/autogallery.php?show=2007-a%20Godina%2F24.Prelosko%20Turbo%20Jugo%2C%2015.06.2007.

Some photos of our lake:
Day when we measured 43 knots:

Another good day:

G-day mark Na thats not a new style , this is something i saw down at sandypoint when lockwood was speedsailing in chop and mate it really works.
But i couldnt push it fast enough due to smaller sail , couldnt open the foot straps more because of my new booties , only my toes could fit in the back foot strap and the front i couldnt pull out so if i crashed mate i would be a mess ,practically everything did not feel good that day but it was only a short session and the wind was 0 to 30 kts not pleasent.
Hey mark how are the gaastras goin mate i luv em .
