Starboard Carve 99 : KA Concept 5.0

Great day, few PB's..
Wasn't comfortable to begin, very square, wind shifting around a lot.
Late in the day had the best runs as the wind swung West giving a deeper angle, then South, had a fast run going the other way!
one run too many and had to walk home..

Well done Dave. You were certainly flying down the course, and proving difficult to catch. I thought you must have been flying. Imagine how good that spot will be once you're on your speed board???

Congrats Dave on your 37 max, a poofteenth off a 38 and near on as fast as the speedboards there, awesome Smile

I'm guessing it was at Goolwa if Chris was there, and I'm guessing it was near those sand bars Bubs posted before, looks like a great spot.

Weather is bloody nice here in Cairns at the moment Dave, even though the fact it dropped to 12c last night is making the local news Laughing

Did we meet last year at Yorkey's, I'm the old bastard with the trailer. I think I may have had your card, I did ring a couple of times but couldn't get you, if it was you Wink
