Yeah Good Luck Isaac. Fly the flag mate.

Awesome conditions for the first round of the Maui Race Series 2012.
After having a serious ankle injury from late Feb to the 23rd of May, unable to do any physical exercise i finally made my way back into the slalom racing on Saturday with heaps of improvement to come.
Managed to steal a 3rd place and if i didnt crash the last gybe on the last race of my age division i would of placed 3rd and beaten Peter Bijl and came in second but it's hard work out there and more training to come
Pulled out of the afternoon racing to save my ankle.

good to see Peter Slate in front of mIcah Buzians in the old fellas division i guess, or maybe the open.. how JOY does it look there right now!!!!!!
Round 2:
With solid 7.0 weather in the morning for the pro fleet i managed a 4th overall which i was pretty stoked about.
Definitely getting my speed/fitness back. The Vector Volt 32cm in the Isonic 87 is awesome for this high wind rough water :)
GET IN THERE!!!
NOT THIS TIME MR JAPANESEEE

I decided to sail my 7.8m Reflex 3 on the Isonic 107 for the entire day , except one race and it was blowing between 15 and 25 knots so it got a bit crazy at times but my speed was pretty good. The water is pretty rough and choppy and sailing out into oncoming waves and swell and then sailing in over the top of breaking waves etc it was an awesome experience and i actually managed to out gybe alot of the top guys on gear that was smaller when it was windy so was pretty stoked with that.
Thanks to:

Vector fins
