Superfun midwinter session with Mr Smooth
Weedy and only 10-12 knots but love northerly winds as the swells roll in unobstructed by the islands and reefs.
Both on PTM 926

so does the weed get on the foil?

sweet vid as always

Great Vid, thanks

Inspirational work gents. Looking forward to having a go tomorrow at Queens Beach

Yep, about half the time in the video
We can stay up on foil with a few strands but the drag slows us down and makes it less fun in the turns.
If it's blowing fully onshore it's often so weedy that we have to foil on the river which is weed-free.

Awesome!. Love the carving around !

Great Vid, those side shore, reef breaking conditions are the best. Keep carving it up guys.

So it isn't always paradise?

Great vid, I really like that camera angle.

Were you on a PTM926 or your cut down 926?

and we are having a massive weedy issue over here at the moment as well, has to be the most annoying thing ever
