Hi everyone.
Here's the next instalment from Sandy Point Speed Fortnight.
(File will be live at 8.10 pm Friday)
Drift,
That was excellent - thanks for giving us an appreciation of SP - definately (desperately) want to go there. Next year maybe.
BTW - It's funny how a mental picture of someone turns out to be completely the opposite of the real thing (Hardie - I'm talking 'bout you)
Great video Mick. Its always great to hear other people talking about windsurfing with as much passion as I feel for the sport.
Great Vid,
Hardz you big hunka hunka the camera loves ya
Great to see a few more Names from the Challenge
Yeah, great video thanks Drift
& Rexy is very camera friendly
& Joe (Hardie) has a face now.
Onya Hardie, most of this is your fault
Excelent video, thanks Drift.
I hope the wind delivers for you Hardie, I cannot imagine what it is like sailing on water that flat. I hope you can also give you alpha pb a tickle while you are there
So thats what the Hard one looks like
I think the Roaches have found a new media star in Rexy, what a screen presence!!
Very nice vid too.
Great to see some faces to names, and in particular, we liked that you got our home town hero, Hardie in film.
Hardie, you big flashone mobey star you You must have had a bad hair day, usually you flash like Michael Jackon, when somebody running a camera
Showed my betterer half the vid....you know, what all the fuss is about...
and they all sound so eloquent
Comments:
"see all that sand blowing!!"
"they do seem a bit obsessive " -
- and that from an almost anal retentitive type
Gotta luv 'em
A quick update. 20 kt SE wind today so sailing on the east bank with the fast guys getting mid 30,s.We had a late night at Hamma,s place so most of the crews were a bit slow onto the water...well i was. Thanks for the BBQ. Not much wind for the next few days so I,ve ducked home to catch up with the family. Its being really good to see a lot of new speed sailors comming down to this gathering and i hope we will see many more give it a go in our "non competive" environment. Next bit of wind looks to be Wednesday. Sorry for the lack of info but the internet access is very limited and we would rather be sailing/drinking/socialising and GO karting. We miss ya Al

A long time no see visitor turned up at Sandy Point yesterday. Al Gleason, who came to all the early speed trials, brought with him some old video footage of Sandy Point events in the late 80's, early 90's, some of which I had never seen before. There is actual video footage of the big day in 89 when Mal did 41.9 knots, exceeding the existing world record (Erik Beal - 40.48 kts) by quite a bit. In interesting interview with a very young looking Peter Dans as well and much more. I am working feverishly to convert and upload the segments of video. Stay tuned.
Here is another slant on speedsailing at a different venue while I am waiting for the others to upload.
Interesting and with the PERFECT music track!
Great stuff Andrew and Alan! Ahh those were the days - not really, but the sand spit sure was smooth! Shame Mal wasn't there on the windiest sailing day (we think) since '89.
Hey Al!! It's me, Adrian Bonomi from ex Narrabeen Lakes/Fire Station Sailboards days! Great to hear you're still into "it". Left my details with Lydia staying with Matt & Co. Have a good one and catch ya later one day.
