Life Begins at 40 (knots) – More new toys

My quest to hit 40 knots on a windsurf board continues with the delivery of another new board last night.

Boardwise in Cannock did me a great deal on a brand spanking new Fanatic Falcon Speed and delivered it in person for me last night… Although it may have looked a bit dodgy on any CCTV in Machynlleth as we both pulled up on the main street in the middle of the night, shook hands, had a quick chat and then exchanged the board in its bubble wrap packaging, before heading our separate ways… Dodgy dealings on the streets of Machynlleth!

The board looks awesome and has just one thing in mind – Top end speed.

The first stage of the quest, equipment acquisition is almost complete – I just need a suitable 430 mast for the 6.3m sail and I’m ready to go. Then all we need is some wind, some time to get out there on the water and the nerve to hit 40 knots.
