Thanks everyone!

It was an amazing experience - and the runs were amazing!!!! Apparently the last few days have been epic 35-40knot winds with solid swell bumps!

Awesome Jen. Well done. So much fun !! Loved the Malolo's (flying fish) that fly infront of you during this run.

Here's a few pics of Danny in this race last year with the Malolo's flying past him in the foreground !!

Hawaiian's believe that if a Malolo passes over you when you're out on the water (paddling, fishing, sailing) that it is a sign of good luck and good fortune. And if they hit your craft that is the ultimate of luck !! They get very excited about it.

So not sure your badminton idea would go over too well. But I know you're kidding anyway DJ.

There was flying fish everywhere this year - i was more concerned with the turtles! They really pop up like land mines!

Very nice way to start the day...Thanks Jen.

What is an F16 SIC Starboard? Are SIC and Starboard in some sort of partnership?
My rough calcs on 8miles in 49mins come up with 15.6km/hr

.
That has gotta some kind of record!

No the rider would be sponsered by Starboard but when they get a SIC board[purpose built for those conditions] they would then have to cover it in Starboard stickers,same as all the shortboarders are sponsered by say an aussie board maker but ride different shapers for certain area's and conditions
