You guy's looked like you were having a ball, it was sooo windy. I was sailing green point overpowered with a 4.2. You flew past.

You guys must have had a ball out there. It was hard enough just trying to drive over the Westgate Bridge.

I know it's never a race but how did the 12'6 WOW perform compared with the longer boards? Great vid by the way

WOW smoked everybody although in fairness, Pete could probably take a boogie board out and still beat us all.
