OK this one's for you Elmo!!!!!!!!

Tried new Spot: S7 (Sams Secret Speed Sailin Spot in S..... S.....)

WOW what a day!!!!!!!!!!!  Drove a long way to get to this place and left the Hammouds, the most hospitable people in Aust!!!!!!!!  So it beter pay off and it fuckin did!!!!!!!!!!

Only problem was wind came very late

Display was 39.94 almost!!!!!  Maybe I'm just a 39kt sailr?

Epic 4wd track to get to the place, scratched about $2000 worth of paint offf my brand new PajeroYell  Been checkn this place out on Google for a long time.  Anyway got there at 2pm, and wind was onshore, prediced to go off shore at 4 pm and pick up and get perfect at 7pm.  By 4pm went side off and too broad and about 16 to 23kts as measured on my wind gauge.  Riged 5.9m Tr4 Iso, 86 and Paul 50th anniversary 25cm weed.  Mostly getin 33's one hh 34, with a peak of 35.3kts. thought ok now put the missile on with venom 26cm my fave fin.  Wind same strenth but slowly swinin more off shore 33's 34's bit disaappointed, just not enough strength in windCry.  On the horizon a big black clud lo0ked like the 7pm predicion.  Geting dark, my eldrley panicky mother left in a motel in the mddle of nowhere and I'm thinkin "do I stay and be the obsessive windsurfer that I am or do i do the right thin and be the  good son?", "fuck the good son, I havent travevlled this far destroyed the duco on my car to give this opporunity up.

I waited  BANG the wind comes in, first run a 37 yeehar!!!!!!  Next run massive spin out nearly killed myself, and thinking I'm a long way from nowhere, maybe I call it quits I'v a got a 37 thats good enuff, I sail back high and plan to sail back to the car.  I get back high, and the wind picks up FAAAAARK, I'm going again cant giv this up, woo hoo this run fels really fast , Im goin bloody quik (added How do I stop, oops gettin choppy fark I cant slow down bail it) look down 39.94kts yeehar!!!!!!!  Fuck 40 is on the cards here, but its getin dark, one more run, My poor Mum ah fuck it the winds crankn shes a big girl,  Sail back nearly get smashed in the chop, knees starin to burn and ache, turn and go down the run again, feels faster fuck massive gust, panic oversheet and kill the runYell 38.3kts, nearly dark and have to call it quits, SPEWIN FAAAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKKKK, this place is good probably too far for everyone, sa boys beter off drivin to sandy point probaby closer, anyway epic way to finsih the holiday!Cool  I reckon a 25 to 35kt swester would be perfec t if 40kter wow but run probably only 500m at ?  Ya get a couple hundred metrs run in, but if windier might be windier behinf the dunes??

So only got 3 runs in (one was a spin out run think i got a 34kts on that one, 2 other fastst runs were on iSo 86, imagne if wind had come in an hour earlier?

Greeeat story Joe Cool, did not realised you went (lucky you told me yesterday!), pleased for you, you milked some speed out of it Tongue out. Sorry for the paint job, had the same venture at "boobays".. lot of scratches! whats the point having a 4x4 and not using it!

I was in SP those 2 days without net Frown, would have been great to joined our data... shame mine was the fallowing day Cry
