Perhaps a new GPS category called "splat" ...

Gps showed 36.4 to stop with a trip for some stiches....

From one Ranga to another, it looks like an improvement in ya looks

We know they were sudden stops, and believe me when I say I know what it feels like, but unfortunately the GPS's were unable to record the actual deceleration. Notice that the m/s2 column is 'na'.

It's hard to run a competition without valid data! apart from

How to stop gracefully




I miss the Sandy Point gatherings they were awesome, hopefully someone would start them up again......

All new mobile phones have now acceleration meter inbuilt.
But adding possibility of damage my newest Galaxy S6 to the cost of eventual gear trashed doesn't help much.
Anyway smartphones software loggers which transmit our GPS logs automatically and have proper accelerator may be in not distant future.

I just have a look at Android accelerometers apps for smartphones and they looks and works amazing . Precise 3 Dimensional axis graphs in real time.


Hopefully the scale of the mechanical device is outside the limits what we humans could handle.

Beware of blunt chest wall trauma leading to myocardial infarction.

So take care in your stacks. It is not just your head that needs protection.

Was that what happened to you recently Yoyo?

Racerender program used to overlay the video with the gps tracks. Crash at 1min06. Was going for the gybe but got pitched in less than knee deep water

If all we're going on is statistics, then i reckon Muffin Man Pete takes the cake from a few years back with his stack at the PiT. Resulting in him wearing a full face hockey mask everytime he sails now!

I totally agree!

I was looking for the 'after' photo to post, but I haven't found it yet!

No, this one was Jacques Van der Hout eating it.
He doesn't do that very often, which is fortunate with the speed those guys go.
