Wed Jul 23, 14 4:10 pm Blowout practice lap, seeking advice |
|

This is the GPS track of a practice lap from last weekend. Fished in 1:11.
Blowout masters, do you see anything we could change to shave off more time? It doesn't seem possible to get it down to 45 minutes! _________________ - matt wheeler |

Very Cool.
You just need to go dead downwind on water skis with no jibing. |

here is a link to the BOTG website. I'm sure it's weather dependant so keep checking nwkite for any changes/updates.
if you only want to see the finals, that will be difficult to predict. wind conditions and number of heats will be a factor. earliest start time will be noon, so I'm thinking around 5 would be final heat but that is just a guess.
