Yesterday saw a small fleet of racers
tackle the Mounts bay short course series along side their cousins the Windsurfer LTs.
We had 5 foils flying in difficult 15-20 kn conditions, super gusty, super shifty
very choppy and very congested water.

Snides great to see the fantastic foilers racing on the river with all the other sailing craft out there. MBSC seems to be right behind all windsurfing and this a great start to foil racing in WA at MBSC. Maybe MBSC can consider to offer a foiling division when and if we do the worlds course warm up later this season for the proposed Marathon race course to Point Walter and back.

Massive thanks to Snides and MBSC for having us along for the racing yesterday. Conditions were very trying but it was a lot of fun, so thanks to everyone involved. :)

Yeah was great fun and thanks again MBSC for having us and Snides organising us with the platform race on Saturday courtesy of PBYC it made for a great weekend
Hopefully it's a sign of things to come for windfoiling in WA
Happy Days
