Here is a quick clip from yesterday. Was a very gusty day with some lulls at 12-15 knots and bullets up to 30 knots on my wind gauge. I ended up on my smallest sail but was underdone. Spent a while waiting for the tide to drop to find some flatter water but all I found was the bottom resulting in a stack at 28 knots and a sore foot from it. Anyway hope you enjoy the footage as I bought a new helmet to reduce bouncy vision.
Cheers

Sadly I only made yesterday as my foot has doubled in size so another go today wasn't going to happen. Great to see so many out at VP (before I hit the water).
Wow, spooky stack. Glad you are (kind of) alright Marty. Up until then it looked like a fun outing. PS- Dead flat compared to my session...
Hiya Phil. I watched your video last night. Well done. Looked great. Trust me when I say it wasn't flat as I spent and hour out in rough stuff before the end result of too shallow but flatter water. I didn't include any of that footage on this edit. It was more survival stuff to not break the speed board.
Cheers

Lots of carnage today also. Broken gear, boats washed onto rocks.
I had a big stack. Was at max speed through the chop when I think a harness line broke. One minute I'm screaming and the next I'm flying through the air like superman. the impact felt like my face had been ripped off.. The force of being ejected removed the skin from my right foot and feels like it broke toes on my left foot. ![]()
Will see how I am midweek. Might need an xray. Difficult walking at the moment.
Other than that was another cracker of a day.
Great Video Martin thanks for sharing - man it sounds like a bit of carnage there at VP - hope everyone is ok
Looked like fun glad you weren't hurt too bad. Was spectaculer stack to catch on video.
Was definately a hectic couple of days.
Great video. There is no way it was a flat as it looked in the video. Saw Gestalt's stack - from the shore it was spectacular. Hope you're ok Justin.
Great day.
Thanks guys (and gals). Seems like there might be more damage than first thought. Today things have discolored and swelling........
Good stack
nice music
lovely feet
Thanks. Do you think I can still be a foot model?
