Narrawong Jan 2015 Video

Cris and myself headed down to Narrawong, which is on the southern Victorian coast for a few days of buggying/blokarting and general R & R. Winds were generally around 16 knots cross-onshore so we weren't able to run the full length of the beach, which, depending on the mouth of the Fitzroy river, could be about 30-40km of buggyable beach. Great caravan park too. Except for that damned pontoon!!! (see end bit of vid).

Nice one John! Is that the custom 3.2 meter? I find I rarely can use my 2.5m but there are days when a 3.2 would be just right.

Thanks Sean. Yep, that's the 3.2m. I'm finding most of the wind I fly in is 15-18 knots and the 3.2 is perfect. There's still a really noticeable step up in power when I put the 4m up.

That was great John... Thanks for sharing... Did you clock your top speed? With 16kts I imagine you hit some good speeds.

John Holgate - 11-1-2015 at 09:24 PM

Thanks guys. Spencer, I did a 51.2kph with the 4m NS2 which I think is my fastest with the Nasa's although I've made it into the low 70's with the Methods.

I enjoyed the ride but damn that pontoon.
