Careful when comparing to lake swell sizes.

svl104 08-12-2008 12:03 PM

i'm okay with swells just not 8 ft ones!

Test as little as possible and save your equipment for the race. Not breaking is a big factor in big water and none of us have any self control to slow down. There have been more spin-outs, trips and stuffs at the turn closest to the outlet than any other race course we race on. The water there is CRAZY. If its kicken turn 1 normally has some good size swells that will knock the air out of your lungs if you land on your side. If you land flat you most likely wont walk for 2-3 days but those are your choices. Its all fun until 1/2 way into the race you realize you are light headed and probably are having some heat stroke. The good news is all your competitors are probably crying like little girls at this point and trying to think of ways they can come back in and say they had a problem.

Randy no excusses here we never pull in although last year did leave a mark! three cracked teeth and two lost fillings I guess we need dentures. I will be humming sweet home Alabama the hole race...............looks like sunny isle water..........bright green!!!! Although I am betting on the crazy chickens just to improve our odds.
