Almost some racing E-mail
Written by Kevin Pritchard   
Tuesday, 13 May 2008

We were all set ready to go and then BANG huge thunder and lightening hit just about a half a mile up wind from us just as it was 30 seconds before my start. Just as we were starting they put up the abandonment flag and we tired to make it to the beach as quickly as possible. The storm was coming in fast. From the time we were powered up on 8.2's to the time we made it back to the beach, it went from windy to almost glassy and raining like a typhoon. It was pretty interesting. We got to sit around in our wet suits for awhile and then derig in the rain. Was pretty chilly as well for us Maui residents...  Forecast looks pretty bad but you never know. There is definitely some unstable air out there moving around so we might just get some wind. You never know. Here are some fun shots by JC...

Wow early 70's style, nice retro! 
 
Kevin, about the SL4's, how is it in action compared to the SL2 ? Shape is of course different, but I'm curious about the handling and feel of this fin, why did you choose it etc etc

I agree the MO has to go! Doesn't quite fit the Pritchard windsurfing image! 
As for the yukky edibles..........are they fried caterpillers, cockroaches or what? Going to Malaysia later on this year as expect will be seeing quite alot of that sort of stuff.

Hey, what are all those funny looking poles in the back ground on the beach? They look like scarecrows?!

Yeah not quite sure what those coffee beens are.. I think they are alive though... as for the poles, not too sure. I think they are light posts.. 
 
Den 8, the feeling of the Sl 4 is that they are not as lifty as the other fins. less drag in the high wind. this is the feeling I get
