Woodies....

Sounds a bit naughty.

looks nice and windy, and sunny

grumps...

it was my mum, who is a photographer in the making, well a begginer

and alMcLeod

i was on 4.8 hotsails smack, underpowerd, and a 82 litre F2 board, (peter thommen) wave. with my pride and joy, custom boom, (ergal king)


i am working on the sequence shots of some of the jumps and a slash, but im not very good with photoshop, so will probaly take a few hours untill you see em.

YEAH i will try get down, but i got my last 2 exams on wends, so i doubt i will get down, on thurs i will be down some where, even if it isnt windy

i think it is labeled as a pure wave board, but compared to the new 2007/8 shapes, it looks more of a cross, between freewave and wave. but this could be purly because i had a freestyle wave fin on not a wave fin. never seen the axxis, but if its an older shape like this one (2000) i would think it would be similar.

Nice photos

What is the weed bank like on the western end like? I have not sailed there since working at the shipyard nearby several years ago. Last time I sailed there the west end was really shallow and seemed to be filling in year to year.

My wife wants to learn to sail in the sea rather the river and I found it was a good place for me to start sailing in chop.

put up two more, these ones are sequence shots, will be another 3 or 4 soon

jumping on starboard tack ! is that normal for the woodmans?

thanks dad
shouldnt you be getting on the helicopter not on seabreeze!!!!!

Did you say you have a CUSTOM BOOM????? I have a question: WHY??? I always thought a boom is a boom is a boom...the only thing required of them is that they not break too soon after purchase. Please, brother jord070, expound on the wonders of your custom boom for us simple, off-the-rack boom users...

well its the technolimits custom ergal king.
they have much different shape than normal ones, they ar norrower and they are specifically design for the wave sails. its also got a clamp that moves so it stays flush with the mast at at times, doenst slide down and it is easier to clap on.
these booms are also made from one of the highest and strongest grade aloy's, so it last longer and it is almost as stiff as good carbon booms, and stiffer than some of the cheep carbon booms.

ontop of this the dia. is smaller than most, its 27mm and for my hands its a much better size, and the grip on it is much less abrasive to the hands, so i dont suffer from blisters when its really cold any more

its a production line, but its custom assembled, hand assembed. not custom for my personal use
