20-25 knots, with the odd 30 knot bullet coming through meant that everyone I talked to broke their PB's.

Congratulations to all who turned up, and Hardy... Ya missed it mate it was EPIC! [}:)]

Yyyyyeeeeeeeeefffffuuuuurrrrkkkkkkeeennnnnhhhhhhhaaaarrrrrggggggghhhh!!!!!!!



What a day

Absolutely stoked after talking up Hardies since last summer, I've finally been vindicated.

Congrats to all who sailed today it was PB city

The session was something special.

Just watch the session data for everyone.

Bring on the next one.

Sorry nebs, but I can't let you have all the glory, don't you think beating me in the 2sec div is good enough!

What a fantastic day I'm calling it "speed sunday"

Thanks for the loan of your $50 special Alby, that was interesting, gave me the highest speed on navi display, but realspeed's given me highest speed on my board, don't know how that works, they all look valid to me.

Isn't it interesting that all these PBs are on weed fins!
Elmo that also vindicates you and hardy.

Elmo
Yes - you are right - this time last year I had one old 1990 vintage weed fin. Now I have 5 or 6 [various vintages] and I actually spent 2 hours fine tuning one this morning in anticipation of today. Thanks for putting us all on the right track for this spot Elmo - my Tectonics would have been catastrophic!
Congratulations to all who attacked it today - have a look at the posts - so many [PB]s - as Snides said "PB city" !!
Great work SRM team - Tim, Claude, Snides and John N!
Great work MMobsters - Elmo, Decrep and Matt
And Nebbs - I've never seen a wave sail go that fast maaate!

What the...? OK. It has finally dawned on me that you guys are sailing this run in ONSHORE winds!
Is this why there is all the talk about weed fins? Does the weed keep the chop down like in Strand Horst?
Is there something else I am missing here?

have to add that sailing through the weeds is a bit daunting as generally the weed is on or just under the surface so its hard to gauge how deep the water is or what rocks lie beneath. as such as Elmo mentioned you can see dark lines through the weed where the fins have cut through.

Great Alpha Snides!!!
Phew. Getting hot at the top.......

cheers... wasnt really trying for alphas as it was survival like conditions (for me) but had a couple of runs at it early on on port and cracked 3 or 4 +25's and the 26 i was struggling to sheet in coming out of the gybe the weight def helped and i think 27+ is with in easy reach if i go hard at it..
