Well its been a full on action packed day here today.  The slalom racers had the first day of races and also the speed sailors got their chance to fly down the speed course.  In the slalom it turns out that 13 times world champion Bjorn is back on form and is leading the slalom at the moment, he was also leading the speed as well with a run of 37 knots but apparently he kept dropping in on everyones elses runs so he was disqualified!!  Bad man!

Also i had my first taste of down the line waves today which was pretty cool!  The wind was super gusty but cross of shore in the morning and then it went fully windy in the afternoon still with head high waves so there was loads of big jumps from Ricardo and the boys.  I learnt how to do ponches on starboard tack which is a new one for me!  The last one i did was fully planing and ankle dry!  I also landed a ‘Burner’ whcih is a funnell into ponch, so all in all it was a good day!

The action and the conditions were so good that no one was filming at all!!  Bugger!  So i could be lying… But i’m not!  It was an awesome day and everyone was fully ripping!

I will get some video tomorrow i promise.

Hope its windy were your are!

Cheers
