Woo Hoo,

Leaving tomorow morning

I'm getting a little stiffy

thats what got you sacked from TV wasnt it ?

Now considering it was the strongest seabreeze for a year or more, where are all the stories? Wavesailors are hurtin' so there has to be some good yarns from Cervantes? Speeds?
More pics?
C'mon peoples I am hanging

Mark I talked to Big Ben last night, he scored a GPS 2sec of 40.7 he's happy but hurting, give him a yell

Not a speed sailor but sailed a couple of different wave spots in the area. First one in the morning was a bit over mast high breaking top to bottom and was good with a 4.7. The other more well know spot was about head high (maybe a bit bigger in the sets) but over cranked on a 4.2 all afternoon until the storm moved in.

^^^ Thats Tom Raddis

Two speeds Flat out and faster

Some people will note that there is quite a sizable difference between the radar top speeds and peoples GPS speed's, The picture below hopefully offers some explanation.

Where the radar gun was set up and aimed was where the water started "thinking" about smoothing out (compared to out back), the smoothest runs were well past the gun into the bay, however even that was a bit of a mission dodging strategically placed cray boats and moorings.

Respect to all who lined up in front of the gun it was a full on day




Also

Apologies for being a "Beach Nazi" and getting everyone to park a long way from the shore but I think it worked out a lot better than having a huge wind shadow in those conditions. That felt like a bloody long way to lug my gear back.

Huge thanks to

WSP for the event
Anna Marie and Mel for the time keeping

That was fun

What, only three people were there
