Looks like the top of Corey's mast. How was it? Not too bumpy on the bottom turn? It was very windy down in Perth. I managed to break a boom in the dangerous waist to shoulder high Avalon pit, so maybe it's just as well I missed out this time....

Cheers, Jens

Jens u were missed as you know being a regular on this trip .........large waves are no good if there choppy and shutting down .........this outter reef bommie end section was the choppest ,, the rest was this size and glassy 18 to 25 knots for heaps of top to bottom turns .

Looks can be deceiving^^that guy sailing on the flats lost his sail and mast 50 mts from the boat. Thanks for organising the trip gangster, that trip goes to the top of the pile of some of my fondest windsurf memorys. Lets do it again and againand again

Here's a view from the boat, phone cam only so no zoom unfortunately.

Swell @ day 1.



The swell rolling in prevented us to get closer to the wave but you can tell it's not small.


Swell @ day 2, still big:

Crew,

I've sorted the photos and selected the best 200 out of ~450. As expected, shooting with a 500 mm telelens on a madly rocking boat is not that easy...

They're all posted at:

Enjoy!
