does anyone know if the helicopter photos for wsp speed event are on this year.and if so who do i see/pay.cheers ratz
Best to contact Reg @ windsurfingperth.com.au
He will let you know if Col is turning up to take pics.
cheers thanks for that will catch up with reg next time in perth.
the trick is to get out of the shop without reg selling me something.
Have not seen this advertised anywhere yet and it is usually all over Seabreeze.
Date is usually end of Nov ish
anyone?
Spoke to Reg during the week.
Registration/Briefing is on Saturday 24th Nov. @1100 at Thirsty point Carpark
Hasn't been much hype this year, was wondering who's going.
I've got my campsite booked. just got to fill the esky now 
Now considering it was the strongest seabreeze for a year or more, where are all the stories? Wavesailors are hurtin' so there has to be some good yarns from Cervantes? Speeds?
More pics?
C'mon peoples I am hanging
A few stories coming through on the GPSTC site.
Sounds like carnage out there - broken gear and some injured sailors.
Troppo scored a PB of 40 knots...
Mark I talked to Big Ben last night, he scored a GPS 2sec of 40.7 he's happy but hurting, give him a yell

Some people will note that there is quite a sizable difference between the radar top speeds and peoples GPS speed's, The picture below hopefully offers some explanation.
Where the radar gun was set up and aimed was where the water started "thinking" about smoothing out (compared to out back), the smoothest runs were well past the gun into the bay, however even that was a bit of a mission dodging strategically placed cray boats and moorings.
Respect to all who lined up in front of the gun it was a full on day
Also
Apologies for being a "Beach Nazi" and getting everyone to park a long way from the shore but I think it worked out a lot better than having a huge wind shadow in those conditions. That felt like a bloody long way to lug my gear back.
Huge thanks to
WSP for the event
Anna Marie and Mel for the time keeping
That was fun
