Nice looking sails buddy! Hope you get some wind now

We had too much!! go figure, all I wanted was 20-25 and we got some smelly shorts times.

This weekend I'm now hoping.

Hearing you 100% Dave!

My 84 litre JP is still being fixed which caused me to sit out last Saturday's session... It was way too windy for a 100 litre! Got the new Patrik wet today though - felt bloody awesome! So much zippier than the Futura and an absolute dream to gybe.

how windy was it to make you sit out instead of using 100ltr.

if my sail was small enough and all i had was my SS id still go (not waves tho)

As Nigel's post states it peaked at 30 / gusting 40.

The last time that I used a 100 liter board in that type of wind it was not pleasurable one little bit.

I did 68 km/t with the Attitude sails hornet 7,2(3cam freeracesail). Not enough wind to go really fast so I think 40(74,5km/t) knots is easily in. I was 78 kg when I shot this video.

Where? Tassie??

Rømø Denmark. Video shot on a summerevening, summer was windy and rainy and cold. They dont call it "cold Hawai" for nothing

Yet another awesome speed and location. I'm heading to Exmouth so might get a result too on NP Hellcats.

That is smoking for a 7.2 and 78 kg! That's 36.7 knots! I'm only getting 28 knots on my 7.2 and only recently got up to 34knots on a nuking day on my 5.4, though I'm about 72kg.

Did this today with the 6,3 video will follow. This was done with a 31 cm weedfin, the only one I got. Any suggestions to size of fins for a 6,3 in heavy weed?
