ok, finally got all of the photos online. here are the good, the bad and the ugly. some exposure issues while i fumbled to get the right settings and a dust filled grey sky. i managed to fake i nice blue sky in a few of them.
there are about 110 images in total so i'll upload 30 at a time over 3 threads.

They look great Justin.
You could have fooled me that it was a sunny blue sky. Looks slightly hazy is all.
One does get the impression that everyone spent more time in the air than on the water however... 
thanks windxtasy.
i really fumbled around with the camera on the day. it'd been about 5 months since i last used it.
i couldn't remember which custom setting i had configured then reallised i was shooting at 1000 iso. then decided to move up the beach to get a better angle to the sun. decided half way through the session to try a different metering mode and forgot to change the exposure compensation to match. 
still, it was a lot of fun as some of the guys on the water are the best of the best around here. i'm glad i had the camera in hand.
it was a sunny day. but the sky was the grey colour that you see in a few of the images. i used a ND filter with a blue cast in the editing software and hey presto. qld, beautifull one day blue skies the next. [}:)]
