That's right Ka need to ramp the guys up for winter can't have them sitting at home watching the footy all day I'm out of action for a while after a 40 min fight with the scalpel but I'll be down there backin the troops
Don't think I'll be hitting the water for another 2 weeks until I get the swelling down in my injured legs. And I definitely won't be sailing Dorans until my cut heals up. Today & tomorrow I'll just be sitting in a chair with my feet up Here's some photo's of the injuries from the gruesome head on collision with the Freestyler.

Hope it heals up quickly kazza. You were kicking butt out there considering you had that massive injury! Great to meet all you tassies and hope to make it again next year.
Looking at Fridays forecast could be the strongest blow for PS for a good while. Finally might be able to try out my new KA 5.0 had since Oct and not wet yet. Just a guess, but with all the rain and 7.0 m wave, Henty would most likely be a wash out. Redbull storm chasers could have almost gone to Marrawah 8.5m wave 38-51 knots

Yes we were both very very lucky, it was a pretty heavy duty collision. So even when sailing around having fun best to keep in mind the Starboard tack person has right of way (right hand in front).
Kazza check the video below out, this was at Burrum earlier this year. At the briefing we were all told which direction to go on the speed run but because the wind was fairly square guys found they could go back up the bar in the opposite direction. Having seen a guy hospitalised years ago after a windsurfing head on I found it frustrating, remember the GoPro has a very wide lens so they are passing in the opposite direction very close, scary when it's half a dozen. It was all good when Justin got the big stick out
If you don't appreciate swearing turn the sound off
Far out they are long flatwater runs, have to come and check Burrums Heads one day. I can see your frustration with people on the wrong side, very, very scarey. Now after my collision I would be extremely paranoid in that situation. It's funny really down here we sail all over the place on the speed runs but because we've been sailing all together for so long we know who normally gives way to who (the pecking order), it's when you get foreigners sailing with you it gets scarey.

OMG, thats half hilarious and half very scary!! Liked the bit where you were yelling Fxxx Off and then the bit when you smoked some guy and gave him a little wave on way past...very funny
