So obviously most people would be on surf and race boards.
I am just wondering if anyone was riding on a twintip and if so what place did you end up?
I rode a twinny, though it would be fine. Ended up 73rd which, considering I crashed eight times, dropped the kite twice and had to drag for the board on several crashes, was not too bad...

I reckon I lost about more than 5 minutes in the crashes & crossed the line about a minute late so if you were super-fit (not me) and could keep your focus, perhaps not a bad choice, cold have been up in the top 40.
Fact was you could go plenty fast once it evened out (last 2km or so) but going downwind on a twinny is just too hard over long distances 'cos you ride it so flat and have to watch not to bury the nose (8 times

)
All up though it was a great day, whatever you rode... Another big thanks to the organisers and all that took part and made it such a great day

Time to learn to ride a directional on downwinders....
