Ok first video with my GoPro, only got one run before camera fogged up. Wind was crap but it was my 2nd sail in 2 months so all good.
Gear - 7.8 Loft Switchblade and son's 111L Futura (mine now as he has lost interest )

The lads thinking with his "head" Firie i can't get the link to your video nothing is showing.

Very noice Bob, you had the Futura wound up in that chop and wind swell.
Stinger suit time hey??

Yeah.. Nice Vid
"EyeBrow Cam" give'us a wink next time

what do you think of the 111 ?

Ha Dave the Eyebrow Cam was a stuff up, didn't realize how wide the lens is You should hear how loud my wife laughs when she watches it, bloody woman

I've only used the 111L a few times, it's just going to be my light wind board. It's a fair bit wider than my preferred board so I'm just getting my head around that (gybing). I got a 42cm C3 Venom for it and it feels great up & down wind with plenty of speed and control for the conditions

Nice Vid Firie looks like you were moving on the way back.

Funny that because way out was fastest but yeh I thought the same, must be the light

I thought the edit to 'Whole lota Rosie' was masterful Bob. Timed it beautifully!
Hope to catch up when you're over this way.
Cheers!

firiebob - Just out of curiosity, how do you find the Switchblade with the Ezzy rdm?

Loved it, gives you a great idea of what conditions you sail in, magnificebt backdrop

Hi Evan, I've only had a couple of goes with it but it seems to rig up perfect, very happy with how it looks (sets) and happy with it on the water. Having said that Monty said the Ezzy would not be perfect with the Loft 6.8 Blade I have but I'm very happy with that combo. I do think the non race sails are more forgiving.

3/4 down this page I have a few photos www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59093

Cheers firiebob - that's great to know. Sure looks like it rigs nicely... thanks!
