A Lake George Speed Run (Video)

Here is a short clip of the "normal" speed run at Lake George(near Beachport in South Australia).  The launch is on the northern side of cocky's point with the upwind leg heading WSW.  Winds on the day were only into the low 30's and I ended up with a PB 10s average of 43.89 GPSTC

Lake George 10-4-2011

I had a fun session down at Lake George near Beachport a few weeks ago.  Here are some of the stills I took with my GoPro.  I am still trying to edit the video footage I took.

Here is one of my favourite shots showing a nice arc to the gybe entry.

I went out on the 7.8 / 49 combo first - pushing the limits of the 49's range!

JP Speed Boards

The much anticipated JP Speed boards have finally been released to the public. I have had a 49 on order for a while and hope to receive the beast at the start of September. Apparently Antoine is going to use the range of speed boards in Karpathos, they include a 54(73L), 49(65L) & 45(53L) an come with a G10 fin(28, 26 & 24 cm). MVM has already been sailing them so there will be a number of JP/Pryde combos around. I hope to use it as a step down from the JP60 with predominantly 7 .0& 6.2. Watch this space for more info in the coming weeks...

See the range in more detail on the JP site:
