OK I'm missing total distance for Gestalt, alpha for Nebbian, and all numbers for QldSalty and Haggar.
As soon as I get these numbers I'll post on the site. I don't think we can dethrone SA but we can come close.
hi guys,
i got the files in the post. i'll do them now and send them on.
if you fellas want to send all your data to me after each session that's cool and i can send them on to ben.
i have spreadsheets setup for this stuff. ![]()
cheers,
jj
on the wind front, maybe it was 20max. i certainly wasn't powered up.
but you know lucky phil motored. ![]()
Great Gestalt, I spend ages stuffing around with yesterdays track. Nearlly tossed the old laptop out the window as it locked up and overheated just as I got it sorted. Very frustrating.
Thanks heaps.

Just booked 3 nights at Elliott heads for the Queens birthday weekend, lets hope we get a bit of wind. I might have to pop down and see the Burrum heads mob
Can't afford Green island at the moment mate, I've got a free flight with virgin to use up so I am going to get up that way soon
Hey Gestalt saw your new speed machine at Pete's today, it's looking good just needs the deck pads.I'm selling the kult and getting a koncept 6.6, we can try the rig on your board as soon as the wind blows

Man check out the ahhh ... hem! on that one.
Hope it's got cutouts [}:)]
Love to give it a go, but wouldn't want to be the first to crack 30 on someone else's dream machine ![]()
well it's butt has the famous channel and step with the manta tail. ![]()
so in short, yes, very big cutouts. basically the wetted area is almost zilch and the pressure at the rear of the board is minimal when planning. (that is what the cut outs do)
trust me nebs, you ain't going to be the first to do 30 on it. ![]()
unlike my proto needle
which is meant for 20+knots on a broad course.
this one will go to windward,
will rip on a beam reach
has the extra volume for when the winds marginal.
will carry my 7.5m ![]()
the board also has the newly designed entry shape to the channel to stop it catching on the swell in front and to increase early planing.
can't wait.
and yes, you can definately take it for a spin. the whole team will i am sure.
So it's basically a trimaran you stand on?
Love the colour scheme, reminded me of a big rubber raft with a wooden floor ![]()
Sounds quick anyway. Hopefully I can resurrect the Flow so the team can crack 30...
When's the next big southerly coming? You reckon Pierre might deliver?
trimaran.... ![]()
no, it's not a hypersonic. ![]()
ahh. the beauty of hand made boards. you can get it in flouro pink if you want.
next big blow according to the balls of crystal is june 1st which is a friday. hopefully by thge saturday there is still some wind around.
hey it's a full moon too!!! aruuhhhhh!!!!
low tide 3-4pm. ![]()
Hi Gesty, you've got the board and I have the perfect engine for it now, picked it up Friday.I'm now getting familiar with rigging it, 3 cams ** loads of downhaul etc.Come on huey
hi fitz,
nice one. can't wait to put the two together. the Koncepts haul so you'll be getting over 30 now.
check out the KA website. they have a forum dedicated to the Koncepts. there are some good tips.
