Fangyland with a big mob of peeps. First up, thanks Huey, my brain really needed that sesh! I reckon there will be some very impressive numbers later on, everyone looked as though they had some serious pedal to the metal.
The shitty black dog meant I wasn't really firing today, but worked up enough enthusiasm to try out my modified Windtech Cruise for the first time. I whacked on a FF18v3 and Avalon 6.3 single cam. Not a combo that I have used before, so I wanted to get some experience and TOW before going too hard downhill. So today there were some very broad reaches but no dedicated chasing gusts. In the end, I had to bail early because I just ended up with too much power and not enough strength to use it. That said, I gotta say, well happy with my work. Very comfy on the 'new' board on all points of sail, no spin outs or hairy moments, I just need some fine-tuning of footstraps and I reckon it will be good fun. Topped it off with some runs across the gravel pit at speed. It impacts sounded like a machine gun, both scary and loud. Very happy I didn't have a G10 fin on today...

And just for a change, the freckle clenching moment came on the drive home. Had to throw out the anchors to stop quickly at S Bend as impressive dugite made it's way across the road. Lucky fella emerged unscathed.

Lumpy madness at Novara today.

Was seriously contemplating going the kids rig but decided against it, in hind sight probably would've been a bit wiser.

Was VERY lively out there was lit normally when the gusts hit it was trying to keep the gear on the water.

Lots of freckle exercize but no bruises, no damage so sweet as!

Watching the crew over at Pt Grey hammering along, looked like some great speeds there

Another fun day at Coodanup. Carbon Art speed board- thanks Pete Mach 2 6.2.

      Well, I godda say it was a great arvo at the fangy farm with weed and gravel too, if you wandered

into the shallows. I had to go change the fin again after the first nauty. So did not get a good hour .  

    I did manage a reaosnable alpha,,,   23.17 knot ,,, but it was just 2m outside the 50 gate, so I'll clame it but it's not

official ,,,      

Had the 48sl board with KaR 5.5 and El/50 17cm weedy

Fantasitic Fangy day, enjoyed by heaps of sailors. Great to see Sammy back in action!!!!!

Remery tried to kill us, but fortunetely missed.

I made the right call for once, and went with the 48cm bnoard 5.2 koncept and good old 18cm starboard assy deltoid @55deg.

Fitness still not back to normal I was doing a lot of resting between runs, and didn't have the confidence to try and alpha. The NM was a bit of a surprise, I went through a few luuls and didn't expect a +30 result

This was my last run back to launch, so I guess it was downwind all the way.

Wind had picked up, but there was a lot of choppy sections, to get through as the tide had come up very quickly.
