I Entered a Geraldton Wind Surf Club speed / slalom all in any gear down winder with approx 30 starters . Wind was a fast building solid Geraldton southerly 20knots from Bucanon street Mt Tarcoola to Pt Moore light house on a old windsurfer one design....fully fully fully lit in the harness with the center board around my shoulder ,,,,water was squirting 10 feet high the entire way.
There was 2 markers to get around a
Z course before arriving at the sand spit of point more and running up the the official Tent.
I was way compeditive but eventually got left behind but had the most incrediable dual with the back markers.
The achievement for me was i didnt fall off and had the board planning flat out the whole way. Result 2nd last
Funny enough for this effort i was crowned KING OF THE POINT ..........the yr eludes me
Pissed a year later a mate logged me on at his house to seabreese to respond to the same event to talk about leg ropes for kites as he was getting enquiries for them to do the even ( they had just come on the sceen ) Anyway Anyway
He laughed spilt beer and stiched / typed /logged me in as
KING OF THE POINT
