Here is a quick clip from yesterday. Was a very gusty day with some lulls at 12-15 knots and bullets up to 30 knots on my wind gauge. I ended up on my smallest sail but was underdone. Spent a while waiting for the tide to drop to find some flatter water but all I found was the bottom resulting in a stack at 28 knots and a sore foot from it. Anyway hope you enjoy the footage as I bought a new helmet to reduce bouncy vision.
Cheers
Marty

Sadly I only made yesterday as my foot has doubled in size so another go today wasn't going to happen. Great to see so many out at VP (before I hit the water).

Wow, spooky stack. Glad you are (kind of) alright Marty. Up until then it looked like a fun outing. PS- Dead flat compared to my session...

Hiya Phil. I watched your video last night. Well done. Looked great. Trust me when I say it wasn't flat as I spent and hour out in rough stuff before the end result of too shallow but flatter water. I didn't include any of that footage on this edit. It was more survival stuff to not break the speed board.

Lots of carnage today also. Broken gear, boats washed onto rocks.

I had a big stack. Was at max speed through the chop when I think a harness line broke. One minute I'm screaming and the next I'm flying through the air like superman. the impact felt like my face had been ripped off.. The force of being ejected removed the skin from my right foot and feels like it broke toes on my left foot.

Will see how I am midweek. Might need an xray. Difficult walking at the moment.

Other than that was another cracker of a day.

Great video. There is no way it was a flat as it looked in the video. Saw Gestalt's stack - from the shore it was spectacular. Hope you're ok Justin.

Great day.

Looked too rough to be using a speedboard. Lucky you'd just unhooked before you hit!

Thanks guys (and gals). Seems like there might be more damage than first thought. Today things have discolored and swelling........
