Vando, a couple of your runs I saw while packing up were smokin... what sort of speed did you manage today? And it was getting shallow!!!

Had a pretty good afternoon. Now just hanging for the next time.

Yer the wind was really cranking late but was running out of water very quickly.
I peaked today at 37.94 knots was a good day.

Should of gone to Wello the spit side of the broadwater was so gusty 0-25knts but usually around the 10knts, very disapointing.

Yeah Spit was really crappy, looked as though it had potential, spent a lot of time trying to waterstart, there seemed to be wind everywhere I wasn't.

thanks guys,

was an excellent day with loads of wind. by the time i left it was pumping and getting stronger.

struggled a bit holding the camera still in the gusts. lucky it was sunny i guess cause the shutter speeds were very fast.

now if only i can convince you all to sail even closer to the shore.

p.s just use a smaller fin.

Hey Gestalt,

thank you very much for this great photos. Unfortunately, you missed my triple double whatsoever-loop. But at least you got my 50kt ride on photo 13 ;)

Thanks a lot!

always keen to get more photos. it's become a bit of a hobby for me. i guess a no wind solution. still got a long way to go though.

i did get a photo of your triple double whatsoever-loop. unfortunately i under exposed the foreshortening and over cooked the hyper focal length.

it ended up on the cutting room floor.

i'll try again next time.
