Congrats to Mark for hitting a stunning 39,48kts which is a spot record for the easten side of wello and still to mention that he was on his slalom gear ..- which was his F2 SX small , 6.7 NP RSR EVO 1 , 31cm SL9.....
Mate that is a great effort and mate you deserve to get pampered
...
Mate get well soon and next time try not to crash ![]()

Thats amazing on that gear(good gear mind) i really didnt think the wind was around for that sort of speed, we got a gust 20/25knts on the Goldie
That's very impressive.
I mentioned the sort of speeds on the table, incuding Pierre's Burrum NM to the pros I was talking to on Maui, and they were pretty impressed.
It's easy to forget that the speed record was only 44kts a decade ago. That puts this into perspective a bit.
Before anyone corrects me, I didn't read a magazine for 10 yrs, so maybe not EXACTLY 10 years ago.
err thanks guys, annoyed my day ended early- everything felt fantastic, definitely a few more knots left in that combo ![]()
Heaps indebted to the kiter & friend that helped me carry my gear in, next time I wont forget impact vest ![]()
I'm starting to think 40 knot run is just teasing me ![]()
Yeah, that's it.
Brain like a sieve. Pierre was there wiht you guys when I met you all at Burrum, and I got them mixed up
Haggar I wish I had a video, it'd be easier than explaining why i cant work and why they should give me windy days off ![]()
Dave yer it's starting to wear a little thin, but what can you do- just focus on next time.
Well I hope you are'nt hurt too bad and that you get better soon Mark, what ever your injury is
Any stack at speed is a lottery I'm afraid ![]()
All good mate, just sore ribs- wasn't really a crash more a bail, just forgot I wasnt wearing a vest and it was choppy ![]()
