Course sailing on a speed course....always dodgy!

Bloody hell that was close, both of you blind sided.

Great reaction from Choc's just pulling it up in the last nano sec.

OMG!!!!
I cant believe how strong the wind is and how flat the water is
. You guys have got it made...
As for the close call..yep it was a close shave given the hi speed.


Those sort of close calls (all beit at half the speed) happen quite regulary on the swan only it involves ferries,racing cruisers,hi speed dinghys,jetskis,shot over boats,
Kites,other windsurfers and a city full of boating halfwits... Sometimes All on the on the same run

Yep great work from Choc putting the heels down at the last moment

how close was that. I was wondering what the issue was until the slow motion at the end. Great you two can yarn about the close one on Lake George
Kimba, that flash as board might not have looked that flash with a Choco embedded in it Great to see you out on the water however.

F..ark! I pooed my pants just watching how close that was, could have been very nasty!
What an amazing flat water sailing spot...close to the ocean also ,would imagine these wind is consistent and stron there in a blow? the run looks like forever, how long is it? Ever get too shallow? and for the big one how fast were you going on that run?

Great seabreeze in a S-SE, this run was was 2km. Depth - need a weed fin as the weed was about 30cm below the surface.
Speed - 36.5 at the crossover, 40 at the end...

Thats brilliant what a great place! No wonder why you guys are doing so well in GPS!.. very jelly bags here!
