in the process of proving my good friend MK wrong [}:)]

i started going through the wind records for the last year to see how much wind we've had.

to my surprise, it's been pumping.

data goes back as far as dec 07.

take a few knots off the top because it's the GC seaway but that is a good indicater for VP. looking through each month we regularly got 20-30 knots and even scored quite a few 30-40 knot days each month.

the months are listed at the bottom of the page.

while we have the walker circulation happening and lasting another couple of years i reckon all looks good.

stunned shocked and stunned.

agree there hasn't been any good NE winds but it's been pumping everywhere else. to much hanging out at wello.

2 years back i rode formula most weekends. last year it was my 6.4m and this year so far the 5.8m

the wind goes in cycles. el nino/la nina. 07,08 in my mind have been awesome. the wind records say the same thing. i'm thinking another 2 years of good wind and then back to the formula kit until next cycle.

the graph i listed is a 3pm record.

different size fin?

50cm is pretty small.

i still got that 10.9m

vambo changed.

first he buys a wave board and goes jumping 6 foot in the air
now he's been sailing formula. well quasi formula. i'll lend you a proper fin.

i have a soft 66cm C3. it will snap ya knee over 15 knots. the stiffer deb custom 70cm is very quick and the stiffness gives it a higher top end.

i think the modern boards have changed the fin design with their super wide tails,.

i had to go through 3 fins for my old school board before finding one i liked. that's about as much as i know.
