Yep, Did a 30.8NM on my first run with one of the new JP 31cm G10 freeride weedies on my mistral flow.

Only reason I changed was the weed on the course was really dragging on the fin so I changed boards and fin down to a 23cm Elmo (even this you could feel the weed).

The new JP weedies really look the goods, the G10 profiles are quite nice in both the free ride and the Wave weed styles.

Good stuff Elmo welcome to the NM 30+ kt club.
How does it feel to keep a consistant speed for the whole NM run.

Thats alright Chris we know your fear of crabs

Quite happy for you to stay up in Perth for a bit since we've only just gotten ownership of our course back from Pedro (first trip down he sets a mark which lasts for months).

All we need is for you and that silent assassin Yoyo (yes Dave, we remember your very quietly kept PB's) come down and blitz the run.

Whats distressing is that the speeds I'm doing you're still murdering them on that motocross track you call home

Thanks Pierre, 30's are quite makable on Hardies, yes the burn does kick in, damn long time to hold the power on.
Got a few now, though that didn't stop us pulling out of the run twice before time tonight slowing the overall runs.

Got one very smug little Bendy man in my sights now[}:)][}:)], he's been stalking me with his new toys in other areas, so I've got to attack him on the NM. Hardie had his Angry eyes on tonight trying to win back his ranking superiority. Got to love having team mates to push you harder

You are a little safer, another 1.4 knots over the whole run is a huge jump which will have to be on a special day methinks
