Current 2 sec PB is about 32 knots. I'd like get to 35 knots this year. I'm heading to Lake George SA with hopefully a smaller slalom board to give it a shot.
Been stuck on 31's for a while now so would like to break that hoodoo and then move up and hit 35.
Also want to get the 20kn Hr happening.

You just need some flat water Toby! Peli Point is not ideal for speed or hours.
48 knots 2 sec for me! On the right day at Sandy I think it is now within reach after another 46 the other day in quite mild conditions. ![]()
I'd be happy to break the 40knt wall. I have knocked on it twice with 39.02knt and again at 39.64knt peak and then a 40 5x10 would be nice.
I'm not holding my breath![]()
I seem to be improving by 3 knots per year: 24, 27, 30 and now 32.5, so I guess I should aim for 35!
35 seems to be the new 30 in that it takes a bit of a technique breakthrough to get there.
My immediate aim is for a lovely smooth fully planing gybe.
2 sec target? I guess if I want a 35 average, I should aim for 36+
Got to update my gear this year, soon as I find that magical job (or win the Lotto) :)
Chasing the 40kt barrier also, currently at 37.2kts. Hopefully some new kit and a trip to LG will help.
Good luck to everyone for 2014!
Just got over 30kts so aiming for 33kts - 35 would be good but..to catch or beat

. I can hope..![]()
also a 20Alpha - I've got 19.6 and I know I've done faster gybes - just too wide to count..Also start to get technical and aim for a few things when sailing -an hour etc..
I just go and sail and try to go fast at the moment.
I am also keen to get over 30 knots on the SUP
how about a 6 pack 2 sec gun fight for fastest SUP speed over summer![]()

Loving the SUP-off!! Had the big fat SUP up and planing for the first time on the 2nd with a huge 11.31 2 sec ![]()
Good luck with your recovery Buzzy. I was off the water for 10 months of 2013 with a knee then ribs. Injuries suck. Thinking of you.
Cripes Needsalt I don't know how people get 100kms..I never seem to get over 40..
Must be fit!
I've tried but when I do I end up around 60kms and am stuffed. The longest I've sailed is about 80kms in a day. This was at Canton Beach in fairly strong winds and I didn't really try to sail the distance, I was just having fun and taking fairly big breaks during the day videoing and photographing the other sailors out there.

Hehe. I'm not sure either but I reckon it'll be a lot freakin easier if I can improve my gybes and not have to waterstart at the end of every run ![]()
43 knots i think 42 will be easy but always have to aim higher
beat my old nm in similar conditions ( not behind a sand bank )
get a decent alpha
500 km distance day - fitness prep is non existent!! Maybe do a few 300 km days back to back to back.....
40 kn Peak
25 Alpha
25 kn Hour
30+ NM
