Super Windy Tuesday!

Yesterday we again were blasted with strong gale force winds! This time from the north providing cool air temps, sunny skies, and 3.0m+ sails! I missed it due to work commitments, and a bad oil seal in my truck. However, it sounded like everyone who sailed with small enough gear had a great time!
If you just arrived for Windfest, well...welcome!! : )

I vote for the guy on the blue sail doing the bodydrag off the lip. Such an old school move, great to see it again. It's up there with the jump jibe, and clew first waterstart. Next photo is someone in the air over a wave, is that from an off the lip, or is it part of a back loop? Looks like it was a good day out there.

Strongest sustained wind I've ever sailed in my life. On a 3.4 on the sound, I was thinking I needed a 3.0. After a few hours I realized I needed something smaller!
