shorty wetsuit weather Bonus..

Had a speed session with neil on standard boards and kites were 8 for neil and 10 for me.


Gps showed max speed of 30 knts or there abouts for both of us, but the pain on the old knees started to show.


we both then had a standard play in the ever decreasing water..


Then i tried out an undergorund sppedboard which PKS had kindly got me, wow what a difference near silence from the spray/board and it just holds power like nothing else cutting down on any chop.

first run 35knts, then as confidnece grew slowly edged to the magic 40.1 knts max speed..

by then the water was disappearing fast so went for a chill out on the sea front..

on saturday did the same in the morning then ended up on the seafront in gusty cross off winds (don't try it unless you know what your doing), with a peak run of about 30knts.

i will download, when i work out how, the gps data to get a ful picture of the weekend, but for those in the know 40knts is pretty fast!!!

Come on AL 40knts is easy!!!!!
