Where were all the other slackers?  Lone sail, high tide, very choppy, very gusty, was windy when rigging up so put lots of downhaul on, hit the water, lots of powered & then not planing.  Actually sailed for an hour non stop for once, dropped 2 gybes being lazy through the gybe Yell

One of those days where you get everything right for once, right board, right sail, fin, everything perfect for the conditions.  Easy and fun.  Also first sail with new 7.8 Overdrive, big improvement on the Turbo, almost has the stability of the Reflex, at first couldn't get upwind but then the wind lifted 2 or 3 kts and the 7.8 powered up, and upwind was much better.  Not sure about the 2sec PB, might be a GPS clitch, didn't feel that quick? PS Manually edited 2sec from 33.28 down to 31.1 after reviewing gpx file with simon.

might be ok steve, your 10sec was 30 on that run but that sharp kink looks a bit sus & relatively tight for that speed when compared to your other runs.  Nice one hour.

Thats encouraging Steve, first day on your new 7.8 Severne Overdrive & you get Pbs on your 2sec & 1hr, well done mate. Looked at your data & tracks & agree with what Mark said but the number is there so take it, I've had a lot of those 2 sec peaks that surprise you because they didn't feel that quick at that time, only 2 weeks till I get my quiver of Overdrives!

Thanks Pete, yeah probably a 30 or 31, thats what it felt like.  Yes the Overdrives are nice, very impressed with the first session on the 7.8. Plenty of grunt, and also nice and stable.  Perfect for slalom sailing.

Either way bloody good effort in open water, 33 run will feel easier than 30, things smooth out a bit.  Good to hear that you like overdrive.
