This would have to be one of the best bay downwinders around. Here's. YouTube link to a snippet. Did two runs. Vid is from run 1. The second one I was in red instead of orange but I had a smudge on the lens :( so couldn't post it. Run 1 was 9.1km and 2 was 10km no stacks or touch downs.

So you didn't use the Barracuda ? Nice run though.

Nah don't have it anymore ;)
I don't use it in bay runs only in the ocean. The E3 is a weapon in the short period wind swell. I just surfed the whole way.
I get a new barracuda on Sunday in Maui.

Looking good Dylan. What time splits per km are you getting out of the 1770? I'm consistently getting around 3.05-3.10/km on the GT2200. See you in WA for some blue water downwind foiling next month. Enjoy Maui.

Iv never worked that out but if I did 10km
in 33 min 42 sec so whatever that is haha? This is a bay run and was surfing the whole way. Looks like I might be straight off the plane and into a Kihei on Sunday. Looking forward to my WA trip with you guys.

Real men would have started out in the middle with the large fish!

joke love the run. That will be probably one of the gnarliest DW runs on a big easterly swell.
