Yep, and it was a relentless pace

We changed from the long spine to the short spine and also re tuned the wing to bottom load it more, but the biggest change was technique and learning to mode the boat

no. But i love NZ, its an awesome place and Ive got a lot of great mates there

U never want to make Benny angry. The kiwis are some of the best in the world, awesome fight

Have a good TV product, which is exactly what we now have.

I havent

almost

Ha, that would be cool. The graphics that Stan Honey and his team used, were awesome. A big part of educating the audience and why people got so engaged with the event.

Big fan of Top Gear, he hated every minute of the ride up the NZ coast, Id have a crack at the English channel in the car

Only connection, what about Fosters?

Yes

I think the physical limits the guys are pushed, we have taken out Race Car drivers, X Games athletes, big wave riders, football players, and they are all blown away with the physical and team work needed

The biggest change was how the guys sailed the boat, one day we finally figured out the technique to upwind foil, and it took off from there, we just worked so hard to try and get it right.

I hope so, its like sailing in a stadium, you can hear the crowd cheering, it reminds me of being a fan at NFL or Baseball, its a great experience and SF Bay is the perfect stadium

hahaha

Its amazing how the fundamentals carry over, at the end of the day its a boat and you use the wind, the good guys basically adapt.

I knew the time limit would be an issue because of the flood tide and how long it took to complete the upwind leg. But I couldn't figure out the time as they had delayed the start 6 minutes, so i was all messed up!

Ice boating? Maybe

All aboard the Crazy Train with Laird Hamilton and co

Glad u enjoyed it man. I think everyone has become a fan of the 72, especially the sailors, they are physically the hardest boats to sail and take you out of your comfort zone. Plus non sailors watch them on tv!
