Well done Arnie.

Be careful Scotty.

Starboard might call you and call it the STARtuna or something.

I rode the board a fair bit and I can tell you all, it' not that good. Don't tell Josh, he might go and buy a better one. Big sails are no good either JOSH!

The guy driving it at Beachport seemed to do alright.

Ha ha. It's no 80 litre quad but try riding one of them in 10 to 15 knots. It's loose as a goose in light wind and glassy waves. Think I might upgrade though this winter.

I would say to anyone who is whinging about the amount of wind and conditions in SA, either get into surfing or supping and/or get yourself a 100 litre plus board and a big sail and get out and enjoy some of the cleanest offshore wavesailing around.

Beachport was light wind but the waves made it definently rideable, have a look at the phots of Josh ripping it up and he's no lightweight.

ITS THE FUTURE!

I agree with you Scotty. Had sick glassy waves at yorkes on the weekend with just me and my mate out on sups. Wavesailing is awesome but so is surfing or supping in quality waves.
