Wow, nice peak and average on the 131 Choco

What 48 was it?

Look forward to trying out the lake again and joining you guys on my 134.

Hi Tim,

The 48cm fin is actually a 2006 JP australia slalom fin i do have a 37cm sl7 on the way for "speed sailing" in stonger winds (18knots)

I wish i had purchased a board like this years ago...i love it....it floats....it gets me planing quickly....goes very well in light winds and feels like a normal slalom board.....has got some good speed.....my new 7.5 will give me more power and the best part is that the water is always flat when i use it.

Tim you won't get off your 134 once you have ridden it.......see you on the water soon mate.

Thats good to know it was a JP slalom fin, i have a 52 on the way but have not heard too much about them.  SL7's ROCK.

I think my arms will also last a lot longer rather than sinking half of the session!

I know the feeling

"Had my first big crash today...and it was in light winds..was cruising along at around 28 knots when i got hit by  a large whirl wind it knocked me flat on my back and sucked up my board and sail at least 6m(the tip of the 460 mast was a couple of meters off the water) straight up into the air.I now have a sore back and neck but it was fun :)"

Did you hit a whirlie? we used to get them all the time when I lived in Renmark - great for freestyle and unsticking the board!

In lighter winds the whirlie's seem to preceed the gusts,got to keep your wits about you because the sail kicks like a bull.

I'm going to Sandy Point over the weekend and might stay longer if the weather looks good.
