Fun day at Eastbourne

After a great sail at Pauatahanui Inlet yesterday we headed out to Eastbourne for the Wild Winds fun day event. It was pretty strong breeze with most pretty comfortable on 4.0's and wave boards. I rigged my 5.4 on my speed board.

Sheryl took some awesome photos - the kitesurfers were pretty amazing with their insane air time.

Dave had a new RS Slalom MK III on the beach which looks pretty radical with the shortened boom length - will be keen to try one sometime soon.

Saturday fun

Went for a quick run round the bays this morning to get motivated for the day.
I then had another great sail in the Ditch, it was pretty windy - was on my 6.2 and 104.
It was a bit choppy so only managed 28.4 knots today - great condition for practising slalom gybes. I've uploaded a few photos to Flickr

Great fun!

Flying in the Ditch

Had a great afternoon sailing in the Ditch (that's Evans Bay) today. The southerly was around 15-23 knots so I had my 6.2 and 104 slalom board rigged. My best time of the day was 31.2 knots. A few more photos on Flickr
