Perhaps more over 70's would post and it might even encourage them to continue sailing in the GPSTC comp.
I know a lot of them are foiling so it might also be time to have a separate foil division in GPSTC too.

..then perhaps they can also start their own forum to compare ailments

Nah, this is good enough.
My 2 hrs is the worst case scenario, sometimes I can do 4 or 5. depends what I've had to drink and the temperature. Also at the moment it's not all bad, my back and hip problem, means if I spend more than a few hours in any one position means I can hardly walk in the morning. I can't sleep on my back in our bed, but I get a good few hours sleep on my recliner rocker on my back. So when I get woken for a pee I also change where I'm sleeping. This way I can walk in the morning. If I cure my nightly visits to the loo that could change.

Easy enough to go fast and jibe well.
Much harder to land big jumps repeatedly in one session.

Blowing your own trumpet must be an American thing. Their outgoing President is a champion at it.

If you still have the flexibility to blow your own trumpet then why not?

The same people that would not even consider that 13 year olds competing in the same category as 18 year olds was not exactly fair. now want a special category for themselves
70 yo's and 80 yo's are much closer in body type than 13's to 18 year olds.

I recall you lot saying "if it aint broke don't fix it"

I entered at 13, was a good challenge for myself to improve. Always saw it more so as 'mini battles' with the next person up the rankings. Heck I was probably only 45kg at 13yrs. Now only 73kg. It's all possible with the right kit, right place right time and even some luck at times. All good fun at the end of the day after a great session with mates sharing the stoke

5th over all not bad you lake Illawarra ledgend. Keep up that good work Pop's. Still going strong.

the problem with an immortals category is once created it can never be killed.

We'll all be Immortals before the previously promised changes occur

At the Event Site in Hood River you see more gray hair than any other color. Boomers rule!!

Well, at least pre-covid you did. I can't vouch for 2020 since I did not go there once this year. Social distancing means I windfoiled mostly by myself out in the remote desert spots in the far east gorge. No, I didn't wear a mask on the water.

Would it be a problem to be a part of a group in another country?

I believe it's acceptable if there's no available team in your home country.

"Immortals" doesn't leave a lot of room for those entering their 80's.>>>>

Agreed but Elmo's come up with a good over 80s. GODs, (Grown old disgracefully)

Maybe we should move the Legend age bracket up to 70 before we're all legends
