The Safety Bay end of season speed trails was great chance for all the sailors amateur's and pro's to get out there and have a good time. The conditions were very challenging with winds speed of 20 to 30 knots and choppy water conditions.

Robbie Radis (Neilprdye/Kinetic) was out on the course early keen to show the speed of the new RS4 and with in a few runs had broken the 70km mark with a 70.9km run on his 6.7 RS4 with his 55cm wide Kinetic slalom board. Dan Engdahl (Severne/Starboard) along with Chris lockwood (Arrows/Kinetic) also followed soon after. Engdahl managed to get the closest to Radis with a 68.4km run on his costom speed board with a 5.8 Severne sail with lockwood holding down 3nd place with 67.3 on his 5.8 Arrows with a speed board he build him self. Radis after a short brake then hit the speed course again and put down his fastest run with a 72.2 and then finished of the day with a 72.6 run.Engdahl & Lockwood were not able to improve on there speeds so Robbie Radis (Neilpryde/Kinetic) took the speed event out with a speed of 72.6km.

Comments. Robbie Radis (Neilprdye/Kinetic) I was a little nerves as first as I dont have a speed board and my 6.7 RS4 is the smallest sail I have at the moment.
But in the end I had great board speed and control in the high winds.
