It's been a great past few days at Burrum Heads, with the low pressure system hanging of the coast we have been scoring some strong South Easterlies.
The Brissy Boys came up to play and we saw some great sailing.
Bump and Jump at high tide with Julian from France performing all manner of impressive twirling spinning things. Speed runs on Saturday afternoon at low tide were great fun. For me the first time I strapped on a GPS was a new experience, quite addictive really.

I was worn out on Sunday morning but I hear Vando and Pierre pushed the limits and set a new queensland record!

Plenty of broken gear over the weekend. Vando broke both arms of a Boom and his mast in a crash while drag racing with Geoff. Later the same day he tore the fin off his board on hidden rocks and was lucky not to do serious injury coming to a sudden stop in inched of water. I had a nice stack which tore the spreader bar clean off my harness.

It was great to sailing with different crew, I hope you enjoyed yourselves and will be back soon.

Here's some pics and video from Saturday afternoon.

Here's Vando:


Here's footage of my first ever speed run.
Pretty happy to get 28.1kn on my wave gear.



Here's Pierre:





Here's a pic of the crew:

This photo shows Vando nervously looking for those bloody rocks which torn off his fin a on previous run.
