The weather turned it on for last Sunday for those hanging in for a last ditch blast at the Pit. Here's a short vid taken by Ka's Peter W' of us on a 2012 proto Ka Race 6.3, turn up your sound and enjoy. You may even hear the fin or me scream mercy over the roar of the engines as the board spins out @ 40knots just as I pass. The 5.0 Koncept would of of been more suitable, but still good to test the 6.3Race peaking @ 45.58 and a 43.5 500m. Much the same result on the previous Sunday with the 7.1 Race too.

Looks like a nice sphincter clencher Spotty. Who is at the back of the conga line on the white speed board with blue flames? Schmick looking machine that one. Is it Ado? I thought he used North sails.....

Yeah was quite an experience, you don't want that happening further down the run. I was lucky it was quite flat there when it happened otherwise you want to think about ejecting pretty quick. You can see where the sand smoke starts as I pass the 2 guys further up the course and I get unsettled with the large increase in wind as you pass the last dune. Trying to get all that sail power back down into the fin smoothly can be a task, guess I was asking a lot from it when that happened obviously, but pretty happy with the outcome.

It's Pit crews Tom C with the flamin board. Ado was on a JP.

Nice tumble there Matt. although i feel that if you intend on wearing your vest unzipped 70's style there has to be a hairy chest underneath
