waaaaay overpowered, you mean? I'd rather have a bit smaller gear in those conditions, mainly due to my lack of ability, and the fact that I'd be getting airborne and catapulting too much!
But sure looked like fun
??
I would be guessing at best at the top video, but have a look at this one:
Sean I think what you said is spot on, I can even hold a 6.5 race sail in 35kns plus so you guys must have it sorted
Iv taken photos of squalls when on my yahct at sea and when you look at them it looks lame its somthing with the camera.
i noticed as i progressed thru the week say during the races that a 7.2 in 18-25kt winds seems a handfull in even semi flat waters but day after day i guess your muscles get used to it and maximize every bit so bottom line is water time..but for the pro's obviously they'd be using 8-9's depending on height and weight and me am 2/3rd's their size on everything
Sean, the board you are asking about is a custom Richard Greene. A lot of the local Kanaha slalom guys have them. We saw a lot of them last time I was there. The noses look like spoons!!!!
Bloody quick through the chop though.
Larko.
