Far out looks like it was a dangerous day, reading everything on Facebook. Crashes, spin outs. Some good runs though. Looks like the big guns are turning up for next week too. With AA, AB and BD.
Any chance of a Seabreeze posted update from someone? I see three sessions in the GPSTC and that is it. Is it all over?
We've been posting updates and photos in another thread evets, wind is back tomorrow (Friday) plus the weekend.

Posting where? Is it a big secret?
Internet is shocking here, so all posts are short and sweet, took 24 hours to upload Lena's 1 min. video. Hasn't been wind above 25knots for a week so not much going on, just sightseeing and photoshoots.

Follow this page for all latest photos/vids etc, if you have already you would have seen the shocking images from the other day!!!
Today is nice and sunny with another 20-25knots forecast which isn't enough to open the course.

I hope Spotty get some real wind
Still getting dialed in, stance and setup required here is quite different to get the best of it, you don't have much time to think about what needs to be changed when your trying to hold it straight concentrating on how everything is tracking so you can react if things get a bit loose. Those in the know say its a bit gustier than last year, so quite a bit of finesse required during the run. Also to get a full gust all the length of the run is pot luck with a small window mid afternoon to score a glory run whilst you stand in line.
Have got my starts fairly sorted and all the work shovelling the windward start bank to aid the wind flow onto the bottom of sail makes it a bit easier for all. The Grader finally worked the run and I spent another half day smoothing all the lumps n bumps out for 3/4 of the run and curving off the bank where it needed it. Basically applied the Pits natural curves to the bank best I could and flattened the grader gutters upwind as well certainly makes a difference. With more water pumped in speeds should increase.
Good atmosphere here, and heaps of funny characters, Brad has arrived and going thru the adjustment process after long travels.
Cheeers
A more emotional video, both up and down the canal. Spotty also sharing the ride back with Lena and me:

The person hanging onto that kite with some one else holding him down in the background looks a little overwhelmed
