Some quick footage from last Saturday at Canton Beach. Very low water level made the water flat and the weed was nowhere as bad as usual. Couple of really smooth sections. A warm sunny day and only a handful of the boys out.
Was a great day out sailing.
When we first got there Pugs was sailing so a quick rig and out there. Matty & Rexy then came out followed by Mick a bit later. The wind backed off but superb on the water.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Larko

GoPros make short fat boards look long and skinny.

Canton Beach is a sweet spot for flat water in a southerly wind.

Karl, the board is a 99 liter 63 wide slalom board. Don't reckon its that short and fat. We all know how Canton works!!!!
Glad everyone enjoyed it, was a sweet day.
Rexy got an Alpha pb and most guys were doing 20+ Alphas. funny that.

yep i saw the 20 alpha but all the gybes were edited out of that video as were all the take offs = all it really showed was straight line speed.

the end parts of the runs are more interesting and much more informative about how well some one sails than the bits in between.

Either you get to see great foot work and control or awesome wipe outs :)

All it was about was showing how flat the water was, nothing more. Its supposed to be fun. If its not to your liking, oh well!!!!

Revisited this thread and noted some comments, I for one enjoy most of these videos, I'm always keen to check out where others sail and do a little dreaming. If I get bored I just click out and move on, easy as
