Ok first video with my GoPro, only got one run before camera fogged up. Wind was crap but it was my 2nd sail in 2 months so all good.
Gear - 7.8 Loft Switchblade and son's 111L Futura (mine now as he has lost interest )

Nice one Bob

Ha Dave the Eyebrow Cam was a stuff up, didn't realize how wide the lens is You should hear how loud my wife laughs when she watches it, bloody woman

I've only used the 111L a few times, it's just going to be my light wind board. It's a fair bit wider than my preferred board so I'm just getting my head around that (gybing). I got a 42cm C3 Venom for it and it feels great up & down wind with plenty of speed and control for the conditions

Nice Vid Firie looks like you were moving on the way back.

Funny that because way out was fastest but yeh I thought the same, must be the light

Nice bit of video and sailing!

I thought the edit to 'Whole lota Rosie' was masterful Bob. Timed it beautifully!
Hope to catch up when you're over this way.
Cheers!

'Wind was crap'

Looks as though you were having a ball firie
As for the soundtrack, thanks I have not heard that for years, brings back memories that does!
Hope we get some wind when you are in WA. As for inheriting the Futura from your son: looks like a great board and goes really well with your switchblade

firiebob - Just out of curiosity, how do you find the Switchblade with the Ezzy rdm?

Hi Evan, I've only had a couple of goes with it but it seems to rig up perfect, very happy with how it looks (sets) and happy with it on the water. Having said that Monty said the Ezzy would not be perfect with the Loft 6.8 Blade I have but I'm very happy with that combo. I do think the non race sails are more forgiving.
