GPS Team Challenge - SA Speed Demons (SA, Australia)

Great fun today started out on the big board going for an hour but hit a few too many lulls and gave up,looking at the data i should have kept going it would have easily been a pb.

Plugged the AB and went blasting to the other side of the Lake and spent the rest of the day working back up wind got some good rides on the way back.

Nice cruise at Goolwa Lake after initially heading to the "Tar Pit". It looked gusty and dropping out so Goolwa was a good choice.

Wind was a gusty 10-15 so went the JP134, RSSmkIII7.8 * 47 ProSlam. Nice not to need a weedy...

Beachport, Lake George from spit (water getting bloody low now)

F2 stoke, 5.8 KA Koncept, 30 weedie

finished nightshift at 7 and wind was gale force 25 to 35 as forcast said it would, was stuffed so had a 4 hour sleep and got out on the water a 1 but front had gone past and wind dropped back to 12 to 18 wsw,

really should have been on the 6.7 but sailed my new Koncept 5.8 for the first time not quite enough wind for a decent speed but powered up quite good and was planing all the time no worries, will have to wait to see if the top end is ok, need to find the right downhaul and try a few different masts and tuning, will run it on my faster slalom board next time, am also getting a 5.0 Koncept for the bigger winter days just need to get a 400 mast for it though,

when i went on ka72 speedreader someone else had also loaded tracks from lake george for sunday, didn't see anybody around so they must have been out early ???

hey Hardie is there anyway to have only the Aussie lastest sessions come up when you have selected Australia only on the rankings, at the moment can post a session and overnight it gets swamped by the oversea's ones and is off the page by morning. (like sunday night when I posted at 4am from nightshift at work and it was off the front page by lunchtime monday, or maybe make the latest sessions larger.

Thanks.

Yeah my feelings!

Even thou based in N.Z, really only interested in GPSTC sessions in our end of the woods covering Aus & N.Z!

The overseas team read is too overwhelming!!!

Would great to have an filter for recent post, selecting teams or individuals you want to monitor?

Hey Choco not on top yet but i'm sure we will be soon , Tim you need a 30 or smaller weedie to sail the middle lake, there is weed right to the surface in areas now, was quite surprised how much the water dropped in the 3 weeks while i was in tassie, wind wasn,t enough on sunday really should have sailed there on easter sat but the surf has been real good also, have decided to keep sailing this winter and only ride the dirtbike over the dunes occasinally ( too many bad injuries last year) will probably sail livingstons bay a bit.
