Kicked a goal today

With encouragement and support from Tonymatta and Duncan at Cootharaba I had my first go at racing longboards.

My goal was to get through the start gate and make the first turn. I know all very newbie stuff but i'm stoked!!

I didn't set the world on fire - managed 2 tacks without falling off and kept out of the way of the other boats as they lapped me

A big thankyou to LCSC, Tony and Duncan for a wonderful afternoons experience.

cheers Jeff

Well done. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Tony's helped me a lot too. The Lake is perfect for racing isn't it?


BTW, there's actually a lovely Mistral Superlight on Seebreeze buy and sell at the moment!

Great! I going to try and find some gear and I am in.

Is there still a board I could borrow up there?

Cheers

If it is not raining, I will be there. I might use my slalom rig since it looks it will be windy anyway.
I'll PM you at the end of the week.

I need to find where I put my harness now
