That's why free climbing is a sport, and fell walking a pastime... "it all going wrong" plays little part in the latter, despite the goal being similar...

I observe that 'it all going wrong' is a feature of the class.......

hardly, I'll just forgive tax discretions for decent coffee.... especially if a precious, occasional sailing weekend's about to get blown out.

Reaching is spectacular just up to the point where you think its all going to go wrong .....
In my experience it's spectacular up to the point you know it's all gone wrong

I was impressed with Chunky's video.... how long did he survive? Must have been over a minute or so....
I'd firmly be nursing crap coffee and limp bacon rolls in those conditions (assuming I'd left the windsurf kit in the shed, or there wasn't a starbucks nearby )

way to go She-Ra.... no way I'd have the confidence to take an Aero out in 25 knots.

Downwind i usually have some kicker on but not huge amounts. Remember to dump it in 25 knots plus before the gybe though or its endo time!
