Wow. That's surely the best you've ever done. Perfectly shot and great music. And the board skills were also top notch.

Thanks Paul.. Shame you had to work and missed it.. I felt pretty rusty because it's been a while.

It was a good run. Here are the stats. We had a few stops along the way - documentary filming has its needs.



We had a really good wind direction - perfectly lined up - and some good waves in the mid-section of the run. The wind was in the 25 - 35 knot range, with some gusts 40+ in that mid-section - you know it is in the high 30's and 40 knots when you get blown into runners without paddling. Sunshine, warm Melbourne Autumn day, water still board shorts temp. Why can't they all be like this?

And, yes, it is good to be on leave and not in the office yesterday.

Great video.

I also liked the way you maneuvered your board near the girly laying on the beach at the start of the video.

Great stuff. That beast of a bump from 2.45 that went forever got me quite excited.

Good one DJ I had a feeling you would have been on the water the wind was howling, I of course was working and wishing I had just done my first downwinder which will still have to wait until next month!

Thanks. Nice bit of kit but they are a bit expensive for me.
