38 knots on the lake? That's insane! What board was he on?!?

I have my GPS and the data cable, but that's about it as far as my knowledge goes! I might have to call you and get you to talk me through it!

I've finally decided to go for a cheapish Kinetic - hopefully it'll get me some bigger speeds!

Should have kept quiet Chris. 38 has much more lake cred.

Saturday at Foreshore drive was good. I havent been out for a few weeks with the doldrums we have been having lately.

I got down there about 11am just before the westerly kicked in. Initially rigged my 7.5m Ezzy Infinity and took out the JP Xcite 110. The winds were pretty light (sub 15kts) up till about midday. I did 24kts on the GPS with this combo.

After midday the gusts started to come in around 15-20kts. I re-rigged my Gaastra Matrix 6.5 and went out again. If you sailed parallel to the runway you would be on a broad reach in a westerly. The chop was minimal 5-10cm. Did 27kts on the GPS.

Today would have been amazing....35kts westerlies... Should have taken a sickie?

KA43 I was on a Gun Race/Speed sail with a huge luff tube - 6.8m and a 100ltr RRD Freestyle wave with freestlye fin. So perfect sail for speed but not right board. I'm getting a kinetic in the next few days so hopefully that'll speed me up!

Des did you have an NP sail?

Sam has mine, not great results but like you said it was howling one minute nothing the next! Yesterday would have been good at Foreshore.

Hi Crash Landing, yes I had an orange NP V8 6.5, but should have been on my 7.5. I thought you had an interesting combination of full on race sail with with FSW board.

Hi guys, greetings from the UK!!
I went for a drive yesterday to West Kirby which has the most insane speed strip I have ever laid eyes on. This place is custom made to deal with the prevailing Nor Westers they get blowing in off the Irish sea. The strip would be nearly a km long and is just a perfect angle with the possibility to high five people standing on the pathway bordering the run as you scream past them (a la Sandy Point)Two days before I was here it was blowing about 30 knots and Dave White was there putting in some high 40 knot runs. I've taken pics of the place so I'll upload them when I'm back.
Glad tosee you guys have had a bit of wind to get some runs on the board. I'm looking forward to doing the same when I get back in a few weeks and even moreso buying a new board. It's the least my wife can let me do after all the crap I've had to sit through with all her relatives over here.
Anyways, I hope it blows for you all again very soon and I look forward to seeing you on the water!
Rex.

C'mon Nebs, spill the beans - we won't tell anyone

i've emailed CT

we should get a list of email addresses aroud maybe once Cap'n gets back from his junket.....i mean work trip.

any one sailing tomorrow?

Mark and I will try to get out at Kyeemagh tomorrow from 2pm, should be flat for some good light wind speed runs. We have new boards to test

Guys, looking at the forecast on BOm and SB Im wondering if Wednesday might be a goer for some W action either at Narra or Foreshore.
Anyone got an opinion??

Its a 6.7m cammed sail to replace my Gaastra Matrix 6.5.

Rick is faxing his form this morning. H e and I may get to Kyeemagh this afternoon.

I'll hopefully be on my RS slalom if it s back from Barracuda, or I'll be stealing Sams RS Racing

Carbonart 58 or JP Slalom 3 109

My sail number is AUS 016

Rick is sail number AUS 4, not sure what sails he's on at the moment, either Arrows or NP

JP Slalom 3 89 and 109

may be worth getting it in before the end of the month...

have you got the track data off the gps? If so, send it to bkirk @ boomerangexecutive . com . au . i can then do the alpha racing and bits and pieces...

Cheers
