Great at Lake Clearwater but wind didn't really play ball at Lake Ohau but good to explore what could be a great speed spot in the right conditions. 300k from Chch

thanks guys,
Ohau was about 10 degrees water temp straight from the glacier Bob!!!!... but 30 degrees above water!!!
Kato, I had to yell at the kiter to let him know I was there, they just don't look when they suddenly change direction which is..... somewhat hazardous up on the speed course....

I can't believe you sail along that fast with your feet out of the rear straps, no wonder you wear a helmet

Cool vid, as yes the music worked really well.

Hi Mineral,
I'll let you know, could be a bigger team next time...
On Clearwater at the start I was on my CA SP50, 7.0 Overdrive and 23 Slingshot, Richard was on an AHD special speed board and 6.2 NP RS Slalom, we had about 25-30knots of wind
Slalom gear at Ohau as not much wind SL58 36 Venom 7.0 Overdrive and SL 70.
Should have stayed at Clearwater they had a ditto day, much more speed potential at Ohau though so good to explore anyway..
