Re: Flying Laser!

Gas for weekend trip to Fort Myers - $50
Regatta entry fee - $30
Getting launched into orbit from a killer pitchpole - priceless

Re: Flying Laser!

Apparently something is missing from that picture

How much wind do you think you need to get the hull out of the water

Seems to me that if it is a real picture, then it had to be a wave that tossed it. Looks awesome whether it is real or not.

Its been pretty calm over here on the east coast (Palm Beach). Went out last weekend with the surfboard on the roof to get to the beach and find it completely flat (and a no swimming sign for sharks). I picked the wrong floating fiberglass that day.

Re: Flying Laser!

if anneyboddy wants to try that weve done that in a topper before just 3 simple steps 1 get your fat mate to sit on the bow 2 go as fast as you can 3 head straight into a wave and the boat will stop and go into a forlward roll.
but on a more serious note dont because youll probibily berak your mast
