Touching the void…

June 17th, 2010

 

Once we’re all resigned to a sledie at Stanwell, we decide to make things interesting by throwing in some water skimming action near the beach.

I went first but come in too high almost ending up in the ocean after rounding some fishing rods sticking up from the beach.

Dave though, picks it perfectly! As you’ll see from the video, there is a pretty small envelope in which to pull this off. Some of the most confident and well executed approach skills I have witnessed…

 

Needless to say, after borrowing Michael’s camera for this little effort we have ordered a few for our future shenanigans.
