So I have survived another gruelling Beach Series race. Attendance was down this week, as the official series is over but it was still good fun. Bit of a southwesterly so we had a chance for a 3k downwind run. I had a good start and was able to get myself in position for some washriding into the headwind before the first turn. The downwind went alright, stringing together a few waves. On the final turn 500m from the finish I was able to get the better line and hold off an attack from a guy riding my wash (needless to say he rammed into my leg as I was getting out of my boat at the finish for the run up the beach). Looking at the times, and knowing that Ben Fouhy was once the world record holder for 1000m I am guessing the course is actually longer than 5km... I thought I better mention that so the kids in Florida don't laugh to hard when they see my time ;)
