YEEEEEEHAAAAA

A very bad day at work put and end to my planned dash to Hardies this arvo so i did a PB in going 41 minutes from leaving work to stepping on the board, I also have PB'b my most number of sessions in a month and the month is not even half over, still had steam coming out my ears from the work fiasco today until i read the GPS at the bottom of my first speed run 37.01 wooohooo

My next run down the bar was the fastest for the day with 37.45 GPS display, 38 is remaining elusive to me GRRR

after about an hour my downhaul rope snapped so i jury rigged and limped back to the beach, had to change the entire base of my XT extension as the new rope was refusing to grip, went back out for a bit but after 3 consecutive sub 35 runs called it a day

Didn't even try one gybe today purely seeking 2 sec and 5 by 10 and have had a great success

Safety Bay, Carbon art SP50 NP RS Slalom II 5.8 and my mighty sawn off FO Fin, TODAYS RESULTS ARE MERGED FILE FROM gt11 AND GT31 (oops caps lock) the 11 had overall faster speeds today but they both agreed on max display

Hope you guys smashed it on the run today

Quick sesh at Hardies with a few crew.Alot of different members present. First run was my best one. Wind went a bit iffy after that. Was hoping it to nuke but as always! Had fun wich was the main thing. Learning more how to tune my gear every dayTongue out

wind didn't really happen, so played around with alphas on the 6.0 lightning. Going to have to put a 2nd marker in, still went way too wide on a couple. got two 24kt at 70m.

Also need to shift the marker further North so it's out of the way of the speed run.

Had Muppet cam on top of my head today trying to get some footage, wind never realy came in as it looked like it would.

Followed Sam down on a run but the camera seemed to suck the wind from his sailsFrown ended the run got my best Alpha of the day, thought I'd give alphaland a go and low and behold having a camera on top of your head trying to get some reasonable footage makes you gybe betterCoolCoolCool. Was sure the fin was draging on the bottom at times but I was having a ballCoolCool.

Though I had some PB alpha's there but got home and realised I'd fatarsed them and gone outside the 50Frown, still I'm stoked I think I'm finally starting to get my head around this turning malarkyCool.

Huge thanks to Hards for making me work twice as hard and get of my fat lazy arse to improve my sailing, Thanks Bud you've giving me the inspiration I needed, I'm having a ballCoolCoolCoolCoolCool.

Will try to post some muppet cam.

Sam I hope your foot doesn't give you to much griefFrown

Gee sam sorry to hear about the sting, i haven't copped one yet so i can't comment on the pain but no doubt if i keep sailing Hardies i will get one someday, you really should have done SB today though tide was perfect for slaughtering the bar and it was toooo windy for the teabaggers i think there were only two out and not for very long

Congrats on some great speedsa Adam.

It's interesting to learn from this challenge how much the wind varies from place to place on any given day. Clearly SB was the place to be today!

Great PB's Adam. Well done on the Alpha Crasher. Sorry you got stung Sam.

Elmo, I saw you waving and thought it was a warning to stay away. Didn't realise you were doing your Cecille B de Mille.

Thanks for the company over the last three days Mob. See you soon.

eh EVETS, you must be mistaking with Adam! He is the one Cool, I only done some average stuff... today I don't feel like I had a session yesterday!

I slept about 10 h on and off all night between pain killer and heatpacks, I am feeling about 80% right now, still a bit sore. I am going to buy some booties, this is the sign... every single time I am getting bitten there, manily crabs, twice by cobblers, that time was really bad Yell

Pleased its not a big day today, I ll be sreaming on missing something!!

ELMY, I watch those videos, not bad, I pissed myself on the Joe's one where you laugh Laughing.. ah ah ah, we have to do some more.. its fun Wink
