I always enjoy looking at the WA guys speed ranking table that YoYo puts together and thought it couldn't be too hard to run one here for the NSW guys.
If anyone is interested I am willing to start one up. It certainly wouldn't only apply to members of the GPS Challenge so would be open to anyone who lives in NSW and has access to a gps. I am sure that there are a lot of guys that quite probably read the Seabreeze forums but don't post as well as plenty of guys that own and use GPS's but don't post anywhere.
I will need to see the track to verify but it is not meant to be anything serious at all so remember, if you send through dodgy information you are only cheating yourself. The way Yoyo's seems to be setup is that the top 10 have their sail board and fin details whereas all the rest just have their location of speed and date. (along with name and obviously 2sec peak speed).
So if you're interested start sending some stats through and I'll post a table as soon as I have enough info. ![]()

Have you got mine?
I suspect it's from the Swamp, but I haven't kept track, or logged speeds for a while.
The only speed I have seen from you Chris is on the challenge site which I'm pretty sure you did at the Pit. I spose for now I can use last Saturdays...???
Chris, I sent you some footage from the Swamp from last Saturday.
Did you get it??
Andrew, use ChrisT's times from last Saturday, that way he wont make us look woeful![]()

Ok, here is what I have so far and I apologise for the cramped layout. it's a work in progress. These are mainly speeds I've gotten from the GPS Challenge site but like YoYo does I really want to populate this with guys who don't post on that site but do use a GPS. Remi....
Please email any changes that you think need to be made anywhere.
Great work Sick-em ![]()
Like you I enjoy reading Yoyo's table, the story that he usually posts with regard to new changes makes it all the better ![]()
Happy to Michael but that will be information people will have to individually tell me if they don't mind. Even the GPSTC doesn't give me all that info always.
Would be nice if the table could be done on a yearly basis rather than including all the old historical records. Would better reflect who has been active this year and give ppl a realistic goal to strive for - ie getting the top score for the year.
Hi Roar,
Thanks for your input. The whole point of this table though is to document historical fact. If you want an updated version then the GPSTC site will give you that. I'm just trying to give people a quick snapshot as to what has taken place in NSW waters over time. Personally I like seeing who has done what and where. It's also just a record to guage yourselves against others performances and have some bragging rights amongst mates.
Personally I can't wait for the day that i knock Sam or Bossman off the top of the rankings!!!![]()
Unfortunately I think that will be a very cold day in hell ![]()
