28.78 WTF back to school young man!!!

Well Done mate, turning the big boys heads for sure

So fantastic to see the next generation of sailboarders kicking our old butts.

does this mean it's ok for as older guys to slow down in the turn

Not on your life

Was it a lay down gybe talk us through it mate...

Congratulations Izaak!
That's about double my alpha, and I'd be happy with 28 knots for a 5 X 10!
Amazing.

Well done Izaak, your top 4 or 5 alphas that day would have all been an Australian record, so it wasn't a one-off, but a genuine display of awesome gybing!! Not only do your gybes look the part - they're faaasssssstttt!!

Awesome effort Izaak!! Still amazes me how anyone can gybe on that weed, let alone at speed!
We are looking at the future of speedsailing in this country and it's all good
Keep it up
cheers Tony
