Here is a vid of the recent Lake George Session (posted on behalf of Hamma) featuring Hamma, Ricky, Jimbob and Choco as well as an unknown interstater...
gotta love lake george when it turns on. no matter the direction you can always find a patch of flat near the spit for gybing and holding down the hammer.
i just looked it up on gps team challenge, and holy s*** you guys were cranking! the bonney boys certainly can sail! good work.
Not only were they hooting along, Choco said it's the shallowest water he's ever sailed in with the 32 fin touching bottom along his runs. http://gpsteamchallenge.com.au/sailor_session/show?date=2011-01-10&team=22
Thanks for posting too Kimba.
The video was shot by Ricky and edited by Hamma, I just posted it for him until he is able to do it at home.(cred where cred's due) Wish I was there also!
That would have to be the fastest day on the lake by far...
Anyone know who the sailor at the start is?
That looks like a lot of fun! And soooo much flat water!!! Gotta do a road trip at some point!
Are there still old fences and wires all over the place?
looks like an awesome spot and a great session, great results. looks like the car was almost in the lake
Was there a few weeks back with Jimbob. Lake he reckons, stays about the same level most of the year. We sailed on the other side, as kites in the speed strip the day we went out. There is a long sand spit which splits the lake, and this is where the car was parked in video.
Whoever heads that way, you wont regret the drive out, its that bloody good, and sailing with Jimbob is just an added bonus. One of the sports nice guys. Just send him a PM and he will be only too happy to link up.
Hey kimba, the stig at the start comes from warnarbool and talks with a kiwi accent, ( i'm **** at remembering names) he was riding a 2008 F2 missile and had a new north 5.2 race sail that he didn't get on too well with he ended up using his mates naish wave sail and was running 37's
we had 4 vics there 2 warnarbool crew (there 3rd trip in last 3 months) and 2 intermediates from melbourne who only had 5.5 wave sails, had to lend them a 3.5 ezzy and small fin.
I was running a 24 fin in both boards.
have had a constant run of people to sail with all summer have enjoyed the company, Pete from onboard keeps giving crew my number so have been getting plenty of calls to show everyone around. just been out the dunes bashing around with speed demon Joe and his boys.
the sailer at the start would be me.
Great footage Kimba, can't wait to go back on a really wind day with my 5.2 sorted out. Still managed 37's with a 5.0 naish session wave sail.
Hey KJ I like the stig avatar,
you need to join a gps teamchallenge team. but you seem to be inbetween us speed demons and the conneware crew, maybe we should look at a team from the warnabool/portland/beachport area's if we can get enough interested.
Kimba is our team captain maybe we can let a vic in seeing as you will be speed sailing in SA.
I actually know evey little about how the teams work and how they are set up.
Have you seen the forcast for friday and sat?
