WooHoo! About a week off 3 years ago I sailed here last and 2 years since I have sailed, And Dave was there this, and last time...uncanny...Well it felt like I had never left...Played it safe and soft and went small so was just comfortably powered up, so no scorchers to be had, but it still took all the balls I had to enter the run..the first 3 I did unhooked...mummmyyy! Great to see the Lone Kiter, Chris Torkler out on his new, ski going a steady 6 or more knots faster than the poles as usual, and making a wipe out at 43 knots look like quite good fun... and doing 30 + foot boosts into the sky...i'm sure its illegal with the airport so close... Rekon I will have to start training again...the sup-ing has held me in good stead, but it leaves a few muscles in want when it come to sailing. Congrats Dave on doing the four oh, and on my old vintage board-FROM THE 90's actually! Good to see Mickhail get to grips with his new fin, took a while, he had us worried! And sorry Loomo did his arm in the other day, and couldn't make it, he would have pushed the speeds up for sure. Missed you Craig!
