Congrats to Mark for hitting a stunning 39,48kts which is a spot record for the easten side of wello and still to mention that he was on his slalom gear ..- which was his F2 SX small , 6.7 NP RSR EVO 1 , 31cm SL9.....

Mate that is a great effort and mate you deserve to get pampered ...

Mate get well soon and next time try not to crash

Very Nice Speeds MK hope ya back on the water soon mate .

Thats amazing on that gear(good gear mind) i really didnt think the wind was around for that sort of speed, we got a gust 20/25knts on the Goldie

That's very impressive.
I mentioned the sort of speeds on the table, incuding Pierre's Burrum NM to the pros I was talking to on Maui, and they were pretty impressed.
It's easy to forget that the speed record was only 44kts a decade ago. That puts this into perspective a bit.
Before anyone corrects me, I didn't read a magazine for 10 yrs, so maybe not EXACTLY 10 years ago.

Hey Ken think ya talking about Brads NM at Burrum he has the record there at the moment 37.6

err thanks guys, annoyed my day ended early- everything felt fantastic, definitely a few more knots left in that combo

Heaps indebted to the kiter & friend that helped me carry my gear in, next time I wont forget impact vest

I'm starting to think 40 knot run is just teasing me

Yeah, that's it.
Brain like a sieve. Pierre was there wiht you guys when I met you all at Burrum, and I got them mixed up

Well done Mark, can we see the Vid now

Arrggh so close. You must be spitting

Haggar I wish I had a video, it'd be easier than explaining why i cant work and why they should give me windy days off

Dave yer it's starting to wear a little thin, but what can you do- just focus on next time.

Well I hope you are'nt hurt too bad and that you get better soon Mark, what ever your injury is Any stack at speed is a lottery I'm afraid

All good mate, just sore ribs- wasn't really a crash more a bail, just forgot I wasnt wearing a vest and it was choppy
