So I had my hair blown back in 22-25kts side on the other day.

Found riding my surfboard with a wide poo stance and low centre of gravity helped me edge up wind.

Are these formula guys onto something? I feel i need to do gps speed runs, or write an app which boasts the amount of bottom turns i do. Whats the next step for strapless wave style? So many questions..

Get the ripcurl GPS watch.
Then you could upload your stats to facebook, I'm sure everyone really wants to see your top speed.

Latest Garmin GPS KS watch measures speed, upwind gain, planing efficiency, number and angle of turns, slides, vertical gains/losses, air time, degree of body chatter etc.... comes with app that calculates stoke level

Is there an all carbon option?

I dont want the watch weight putting off my bottom turns and drop wallets

Maybe the future really is all about backhand kiting. I spose,i always see surfers getn some shade back hand. Lol

Avail in basalt laminate for the limp wristed...
Ensure to purchase GarKS215-FB, rather than the base -B model.
This allows equal stoke forehand and backhand, with auto switch mode..

There you go gcdave, your sorted
