sboardcrazy (26271km):
571 days ago 20-30kts then 10-15kts then 15-20kts S Valentine, NSW, AU
4.2m Sailworks - WT85ltre waveboard - 20cms centre fin
then 6.5m Turbo- WT57 ( 90ltres) - 28cms WT weedy
Got there at 10.30 and it was freezing cold , noone else in sight and blowing 25-30kts ..I wasn't at all enthused so just rigged my smallest gear as it was supposed to pick up later. When I finally went out I was so underpowered could barely keep upright on the waveboard.
It died down a little so I rigged the 6.5m - 90 combo and planned to swap as needed. That was a bit scary in the gusts.
I usually focus on trying to improve my gybes when I sail in the chop. I didn't sleep well last night and was very tired so my gybes were crap. I'm usually happy with any speed over 26kts in the middle and i got a couple of 27kts and a 28 so I decided to focus on the 2 sec and gp fpr a 5 x 10 ( I've never done that before).
I was stoked to see a 29kts on the screen of the GT. I knew it would be downgraded but luckily took photos as the GT had issues with a locked screen that wouldn't undo. I finally got it to switch off but I lost all the data. 
I got it from James 2ndhand 12 years ago so I can't complain.
Oh well I've got the photos. 
PB 2 sec ( previous best 28.44kts )
PB - 5 x 10sec ( previous 25.13kts)
A total buzz, if a bit hary, flying down over the back of the chop.. Buggered but happy.
I may not be able to do the twisty thingies the wings can do but I love being faster than them.
