Ady OFFLINE Hurricane Force Posts: 1777	Good! 32 mph is no cheeseburger, I’m taking my words back. In that case we have a 3rd member of our little 30 mph club woohoo!

Reid Fillman OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 1546	Y'all got "chicked" as they say at the Défi Wind. Our Kirsten Baas NED166 went 39 mph at Franqui Plage du Rouet. Sylvain's contest goes international! I know it's not a screen shot, but Kirsten did GPS it. Time for the Calumet wall and Rend Lake causeway to step up! {Admin moved topic to Windsurfing Instruction to make it more universal}

Meh, I think we need some simple rules here. Like: fresh water only; GoPro gps only and as little specialised gear as possible. Just a few simple rules to keep things fair and accessible with some exceptions allowed like when you don’t have a camera gps or one piece of your equipment falls into the specialised category. The fresh water rule should be strictly enforced IMO and probably Midwest only too.

Sylvain OFFLINE Storm Force Posts: 165	Proposed rule: - only Midwest - as long as you are using windsurfing gear, it’s fine - for speed measurement, I want to keep it open. Let me know what you used to measure your speed, and I will decide if it’s ok or not 1- any gopro with gps is fine 2- others to be decided as we go

A friend driving on a causeway watching his speedometer as you sail next to him.
