Here's the video from our recent trip to Sandy Point and also the story in Windsurfer International http://www.windsurfermag.com/magazine/windsurf-speed-sailing-sandy-point-victoria-australia-colin-leonhardt.html/?params=Mjh8NDA4fDA=

Awesome vid Col. Still spewing i couldn't make it.

That was pretty cool.

Very nicely done!

A great piece of work, one day I will get to the pit

Top Shelf again HF

Brilliant

Bloody beautiful!!!!
That opening part following Matt down the run just shows how awesome the Pit really is. Nice commentary too Daffy!!

Great work Col,

what a great and rare perspective you've managed to capture of one of our favorite spots to sail. Long awaited shoot with trying to get tides, wind strength and angle to line up, and that all important bit of sunlight at least thrown in here and there to set the canvas off.

Its certainly more than enough to make a speed sailor drool, and definately an insight into what the place can offer, one need only imagine what it can look like in full light.

Theres also the other perspective of speed sailing the other bank and wavesailing to be had when the wind blows from the opposite direction cleaning up all those waves into long green glassy wave rides.....

For those who got involved what at great memory to have captured to look back on, certainly worth it!!!..... if you ever get the chance do it!

Awesome job! well done!

Now that video takes it up a KAnotch

top effort Russ

Awesome video, makes me want to get on a plane

Loved the gopro from the top of the mast making the helicopter looking like it was miles away

magic-very envious!

Wow, Looks awesome jealous indeed.

great work. really sums up Sandy Point- glad you didnt get the rigth wind direction to show off our secret little wavesailing spot across the dunes otherwise we'd have tourists and developers in thr droves :)

The great thing is that Sandy Point/Prom is the most consistently windy place in Victoria and if you wave sail as well as enjoy the inlet for speed/slalom/freestyle it works in most wind directions.

This is the kind of thing really missing from dvds like The Windsurfing Movie. Awesome stuff, almost makes me half kind of wish I didn't leave Victoria

And that it is 3 hours away from Melbourne, so nearly all the kiters stay where there are plenty of people to bask in their magnificence at St Kilda or Brighton. It would be an absolute disaster if it ended up like Woodman Point in WA.
