While talking to Randy Naish in Merimbula I was surprised when he told me that they are using the Javelin on down-winders in Hawaii and only use the Glides when things get very rough.. I thought jeeez.. I'm very wobbly on it on flat water let alone take it out in the rough water on a down-winder.. Jacko used it on the DW'ers at Merimbula but he's freak.

Anyway.. today I took mine on our down-winder and found it hard work.. tippy.. but very fast when you can stay on it..

We only got about 15-20 knots of wind.. and I took this vid.. It was a real stinker here in Melbourne today so I didn't mind falling in a few times..
