Some of the action from Bell Buoy today. There was a special moment for me when I met the President, hence, a slight bias towards pics of him.

Please look carefully for him featuring in the top right hand corner of one.

What style! In the middle of a tweaked aerial, he still has the time and composure to wave to his fans on the beach.

Wow. Thank you for the nice feedback on my pics.

I saw on the forum that some guys were going to be at Bell Buoy today so I took my 13 year old boy to have his first look at wave sailing. Very lucky. He might not see much better than today! Brilliant skills and absolutely fearless

Steve you've got that wrong, those shots couldn't have been me........... I felt so much in control today but I do remember waving during a finely tweaked precision goose screw

It was great sailing with the

mad nuts in the north, I'll be back up to sail Greens when you guys give the thumbs up

Awesome pics Steve.
The "President" was ripping today!
I was most impressed by that stalled, one handed "what should I do now loop" I'm still laughing Houston!
A great day!!

I think you should frame that shot. As I remember it you waved, smiled and then landed elegantly before sailing past the other guy in the shot (Sorry, I don't know his name)

On a serious note, it was great to meet some more friendly windsurfing people today!

Forgot to mention Mitch went off to hospital for stiches after his forward that went wrong

and Lockie broke his board in half doing the same

.. Pretty hard core sailors Kaleb, Felix, Geoff, Greenie, Mitch and Lockie all pulling off loops............... we've gotta crank up down south can't let these hillbillies get the better of us............ maybe less drinking at Dorans would help ........nah
