Are you saying there is NO ONE from the areas you frequently surf who is impartial and unrelated? Who can share their observational testimony regarding your claims of surfing speed?
Really Bill perhaps you should take your own advice . … . none of your posts on this subject EVER contain any hydrodynamic substance, they are always just peanut gallery style heckling… … . . whereas I have posted a lot of hydrodynamic substanc. . . this thread is just so ludicrous that I can’t resist having fun with it, so there . . … grumble away if you like, it’s futile !
TRY POSTING SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE, FOR A CHANGE!
PS: BS= Bloke Speak.
Hee, hee, hee.

Yes, the entire town live and surf with council rubbish bags on their head, making observation impossible. . . . sorry but you will have to come down and check it out yourself.
Cheers until then

I tried uploading a bag of dog turds but there were too many bites for the server.
Perhaps I could send them with the tunnel fin ?
If you do that, how will I be able to identify the Tunnel Fin? Will it be the white one??
No, it will be the piece of pvc pipe marked " Tunnelfin kit, apply sandpaper and elbow grease"
All I asked was a simple question. Some of this thread’s wild-eyed responses have only deepened my original doubts.
Good luck on your personal journey. . . when you come back from the deep void of extreme scepticism please desribe how you managed to verify your own existence.

Roy
Roy all I asked was a simple question. Simple question! No reason to run amuck all over the landscape: dodge and change the subject, sarcasm, exaggeration, name calling.
As Shakespeare would say, “methinks thou doest protest too much.”

In fact total impartiality is not necessary
Or possible. . . . which is why we use GPS. . . . because machines ARE impartial ! Got it ? .

Your simple question directly questions my honesty. … . so be happy that I am making a joke of it rather than flipping you the bird for your insulting behaviour !
No insult intended. Please explain how your honesty was directly questioned:

It has been written Roy Stewart sometimes rides waves much faster than other surfers. He often appears to be moving twice as fast! But if that's true why don't surfers in his area who see such unusually fast rides respond in his defense? Where are the impartial, unrelated witnesses?
The thread title says that you doubt that what I have reported is correct, and you state that this is due to the lack of any posters from my home break supporting my reports.
given that I am using GPS units of known accuracy similar to those used bty other Swaylocks members, your doubt can only mean that you are implying that I am not reporting the GPS speeds honestly. . . … otherwise why not just let us report what’s on the dial? . … . after all it’s an easy task which I am capable of.

How sad. Don’t you have any friends? Or people that can honestly share what they’ve witnessed when you’re out
surfing?
Firstly you are questioning my honesty
Secondly you are questioning the honesty of my family
Not very cool behaviour in a Gentleman’s club, once upon a time that sort of behaviour would have resulted in blood being spilt. … . fortunately we are too civilised for that now, but nevertheless I request that you stop insulting my honesty.
How about just realising that I am reporting my activities as honestly as possible ?
Regards,
Roy
PS My son James posts here, he builds boards, surfs with me, and uses a gps speed recorder. . . . would you like him to report his findings or are you going to call him dishonest as well ?
PPS My wife also designs and builds boards and does surf video, would you like her to post also, or is she going to be called a liar because she is married to me ?

I am sorry. Not everything said about you is a personal insult. I’m used to dealing with pets that have issues- not people!
I’m over this thread. Say what you will
No worries, there is no pressure to believe anything at all, I have no problem with scepticism, but keep it seemly please. . . . will report back occasionally, make of it what you will.

I was involved with a technology project which used GPS in mobile devices. We found we’d get 50m errors in elevation frequently. Other people have found other, different errors frequently, eg:

Did accuracy of the device already get discussed ?
Yesterday: Hulling in Santa Cruz, finally back in the water !

Here’s a guy going 47 knots. Finian Maynard now holds the sailing speed record. Roy goes almost as fast??
