PS. Dylan was telling me you made a video of your own Freerace test. How about posting that up to watch.

Good wind like this is just as hard to find here as Orangina drinks...

Thanks Marty, I'd rather post the next freerace video as I think my fist attempt is a bit crappy.. Was a test run with only two of us sailing and I didn't zoom on the area.

On the diabolo video you can't really see it but the conditions were rough, 25+ knots and very large chop. (my son was lucky to score a nice helicopter shot, proud dad...)

Unreal stuff Sean, you guys have a great scene there.
Yes the video doesn't make it look that windy or lumpy but your son's photo (awesome) does!

What is the most common weapons of choice in those conditions, and I'm assuming those conditions are fairly typical for you guys?

My son was on 6.4 + 100 sl and 32 fin.

Board too large for him but it's our smallest...

Big guys were on 7.0, 100 l boards (64/65 wide) and 36 fins mostly.

Yes indeed those are our usual conditions at this time of year, if not competing Liam my son would be freestyling with 4.8 max, and I would be on the 100 and 6.4
