he is dressed up in a bit of kook apparell.

gloves.
helmet.
seat harness.
funny shaped board.
boardies over wetty.

hehe

i like how he pisses all over his board and gear and is then worried about a bit of dribble at then before re-stacking. my dog pisses all over things like that, i guess we could start a trend and piss on our gear before a session to mark out our territory. or i might just continue to use a permanent marker. nice speed though, i think you would want to be "kooked" up at that speed, especially when you get smacked by a jumping fish, oil tanker or a rock.

He has posted a couple of videos on an international kiting forum under the name Tilmann.

He seems somewhat.... eccentric?

He was detailing how he built the P-valve on his wetsuit out of a plastic bottle top - I think I will stick with the standard zipper...

Has he tried boosting at those speeds? Now that would impress me.

Mate and myself were playing at woodman point a few weeks ago using a phone GPS, you can register with www.mapmytracks.com and they give you a free hour logging a month. 60km/hr is actualy no problem with standard equipment and relatively chop free water. The wind must have been about 25-30 knots when we did this.


It takes a long stretch of water to stop, so you need to allow yourself some space

deffently just piss in the wet suit if i ever wear one

deffently got a screw loose
who the f0ck pisses on the gear
in the wetsuit to keep me warm i can understand but on my gear?? what the sh1t

not one to want to go back for a second look - but that was defs more than 3 shakes!!!

and the cap came from his mouth??? I hope he washes it before sticking it in his gob again??

You don't piss in a dry suit, it just pools around your ankles

yeah but you retain that ballast to let you hold down more power - win win until you have to smell what's in your wetsuit...

yer i borrowed a gps at altona one day. i got 34.1 knot max. the wind was about 25-29 knots and i was on a 8m torch and a 128cm thorn. i hurts your quads and as i was racing someone i had to stay right between his wake behind him and at one point i hit his wake and i think it was one of the worst stacks i have ever had. i did like 5 flips in about 50cm of water.

thats probably why it is soo hard to get maxed out speeds (like 150km/h) coz if you hit the smallest peice of chop at the wrong angle you will stack sooo badly.

Yep first 30 seconds was riveting...
Probably not the best angle though.

boost, what about a mega loop then he might actually pick up more speed, lol. put it to len10
