Picture qual looks really good so your export settings must be pretty spot on. To me the video looks choppy though, not sure if this is a function of your attempts to salvage it or something imovie has done? Looks like it was a nice day up there.
Edit: forget the choppy bit, just watched it on my other computer and it's fine, laptop must be having spasms ![]()
nice vid
Good to see i dont look too fat when you were chasing me :)

its interesting being able to see your sail shape and stance from a chase cam - gives you a bit more perspecive on how sail is rigged that you cant see when you are holding onto it.

I agree Craig - was trying to get in his video so I could check my sail, stance etc.
Next time Karl, make sure you follow me close up! ![]()
Thanks to Karl for letting me have blast with the Go Pro.
Even bigger thanks for editing it for me. You're a champion mate!
Nice Video Karl!!
Those were the days... when we used to get wind!! :(
I agree Roar... it is the first time I have seen any close up of my gear and stance while powered up. I am the orange JP FSW with the blue Hellcat that makes a cameo in the second half.
Thanks for doing that Karl.

I was all excited to see some extra Tabou Rockets..then I realised it was the same one..I think I'm the only one up here at lake Macquarie..![]()
I have borrowed Karl's Tabou Rocket 105L a couple of times when he has been on his bigger board, but not enough wind for my JP FSW 92L. It is a great board. I was having a great time on it in 13-18 knots with my 6.2. It is fast (got just over 30knots on my GPS) and gybes really nicely. I rate it highly and wish I had it in my quiver!!
Cheers,
Adrian
Yeah the 105 Rocket a nice little board. I'll have to try it with a 6.6m next time the wind justifies it as it should be sweet. I still like my bigger one though as its so smooth and comfortable.
My dream sail is a sunny day of 15 knot winds all day with the Rocket 140 and a 7.4m sail.
Last week there were quite a large number of Tabou Rockets at Kyeemagh. It gets a bit confusing as they all look quite similar to each other.
I'd definately be on the 105/6.6 in 15knots. Give me the 140/7.4 in the 12-14knot range... but I am a bit old school who learned to windsurf when the biggest common sail was about 6.5m... 7m was considered huge!!. For many years I sailed with just a 6m and a 110L slalom board.... and you can make it work from 10-12knots up to 25knots!! :)
You have to work it onto the plain with the smaller gear, but with technique you can keep it there easily and have a faster more exciting ride in the process!! 12-14 is a bit challenging on the FSW 92 with a 6.2 though!! :(
Cheers,
Adrian
Here is another Kyeemagh windsurfing video.
Its not too exciting but there is a great technical innovation. The camera no longer gets protuding parts of the windsurfers face in the shot. That took a bit of mucking around with a mount on the side of the camera.
Another good vid Karl, particularly as I got in it ![]()
For non-Sydney people, last Saturday was a 12-18kt N/E seabreeze
so we all had a pretty cruisy sail (except Mike who did his usual 120km
)
The run (reach) from the beach to the end of the runway is about 1.2Nm.![]()
Top spot with lots of chats on the beach in between sessions![]()
Another great vid Karl - it was a fantastic day! Where did you find that music?
Pete - you're a star!
