Finally feel like I can post to this thread... 35.6 mph top speed on my flexboardz haize and phantom 1 12m at WBB yesterday. With flyguy0101 blowing past me the whole time yelling at me to lean back and go faster :D Definitely pick up some good tips watching him.
This was on the Strava app, so no idea how accurate it is, but the downwind legs were definitely fast, and I increased my comfort level considerably.
More into cruising and seeing how far I can go, so also a PB there... estimate 38 miles the first day, and 22 miles yesterday... previous was 11 miles, so shattered that.

I still have a way to go to get that. I remember looking down at my GPS at Jekyll and seeing my PB. From the corner of my eye I saw a couple of the famous Jekyll Island turtles smirking just as I was starting to raise up a triumphant fist.

Jeff, it was great to meet you at WBB. Glad you was able to get some miles up on your board. I hope WBB was all Brandin and Zcheezy told you it was.

Congrats on your new PB's.

Quickly approaching that 50mph mark I see. It only gets more comfortable each and every time. Looking forward to a great spring event with opportunities being high for more PB's

Keep up the good stuff! Winds forecast to be mid 20's here tomorrow, I'm cleared as healed so I may give my local spot a go.

Sorry Rich, missed this post a few days ago... Really great to finally meet you as well. Stay mended up, want to ride with (way behind) you next round.
I guess I picked the right couple of days, was perfect. So nice to have miles of relatively empty beach to play in!
