Hey Gestalt, Last spring i think it was you got a new super fast slalom board with the channels on the bottom. Have you taken it out yet? It been a while now surely it's had a decent blast. What times?

i've used it 8 or 9 times to date and with nothing smaller than an 8.5m sail.

from memory it was keeping up with your hyper up at caloundra last year.

haha.....

let me see.

i was on the 8.5m KA formula and 48cm mfc
you were on the 8.4 NP RS Racing and 111lt hyper with 49cm RS Viper

memory is fading but i do believe there was 0.5 knots between us.

I had to dig deep to find it. 5x10secs is the time 29/9/07?

It will be interesting to see what it ( viper board) does with a smaller more powered rig. Still 0.5 is enough he he. My smallest slalom board is 133 now so I expect to get flogged by the viper this season. Look forward to having all team members in one spot again.

well i got a 460 mast but as yet have not managed to afford the sail. will try the kult on it soon.

also, finally got an sd card yesterday, for the gps so it will be fired up from now on.

i think we have both started to drink from the same cup.

slalom up to 20 knots then bring on the freewave gear.

Exactly, I have two sweet new JP Freestyle waves coming. An 84 FWS and 101 pro. Also a new Starboard Kode 112 for really light bump and jump. I'll be switching off slalom a bit earlier than 20knts more like 15.
