Just a quick video from last night's session.

Hardy was originally about 50m upwind from me had to pinch fairly hard up wind till he got a gust and went down wind in front of me, was yelling like a mad muppet trying to get his attention to keep on going but all he was interested in was trying stay ahead.

Hope you like it

Good to see him back in his natural habitat. He looks warmer

Great stuff Elmo

I was a bit worried Hards was going to give you the slip but na and just as you reel him in he turns, don't you hate that

Knowing how wide that lens is you two must have been fairly close

Cheers Bob.

He's on Gaastra's, if it was Stealth's I would have had to sail a lot slower

Yep, less than 10m away at the furthest.

In Hardies defense, we had the same sized sail but I had close to 20L extra volume, Hardz Gybed out before a bit of a glassy patch

Great footage Elmo , Wednesday was a great day down south Australind , we clocked a few nautical miles.looks like you guys had a great session.
May head up to Hardies run this coming Saturday - depending on the wind god.

We have Cervantes on this weekend so might not be to many there, next weekend will be better with the GPSTC weekend on the go, lots more mad buggers around

Also Bender gve me you vids to upload which you shot down at Australind a month or so back, I'll get around uploading them shortly

Here's one from last night

Twas for me a bit tricky probably the bumpiest I've filmed speeding.
Had huge problems with fin cavitation, I think mostly due to snot, which was ever present and was waiting in ambush for you to blink.

Hope you like

For those cynics who thought Hardz and myself bit it on the gybes, here's the full the version.

In Hardies defense he's bailed just before a lull

Don't know who that was, I just like seeing people turn corners... doesn't matter who they are, or if they make it, the holy grail of windsurfing is a planing gybe for me
