Also the Trophies for the series overall placings are coming along VERY nicely!
Should be finished and on display soon... Might tighten the points up a bit when people see them!

Thanks Joel and James for organising today! Don't think I have ever sailed so over powered as I did in the second round. It was certainly much easier with a smaller sail. See you at the next one.

Were you still on the 5.4?? It was so windy by that second final! I couldn't hold onto my 5.0 and had to re-rig to my 4.7... up in front of the inlet it was hard to hold onto a 4.2!

Great day thanks for coming everyone
Photos & results should be up tomorrow

Sure was on the 5.4 in the second heat. I only noticed it was mega windy when I walked down to my stuff for the second heat. Sitting up in the Dunes with Andy and Ben all I was noticing was the sand flys.

Using the 5.4 goes some way to explaining why it probably looked like I was doing an upwind speed sailing event rather than trying to wave sail. Got the 4.7 and the smaller board after the heat and was so much easier/better.

Yeah you and Benny seemed to miss all the waves in that heat, while Andy and Alex just seemed to attract the waves!
was a shame the swell was so small
Still great fun!

Guys this is what the Intermediate division is all about!!
This is Andy Donegan's second summer windsurfing after learning on a SUP last season.. He has been getting out there at each event and learning about the waves..
I think it's fair to say he is starting to get the hang of it pretty quickly!!

Jodie has some awesome shots up on her site already:

Nice pics by Jodi! Andy is killing it and I am looking forward to the next comp against him! Hopefully Darren can actually complete a comp without breaking kit. He currently has a 100% record for destroying gear. Two masts and a sail shows commitment...
