Speed Sailing is a worldwide sport that generally appeals to older windsurfers who have had enough of the dangers associated with slalom and wave sailing. Western Australia has some of the best and most experienced speed sailors in the world. Considering this is a worldwide sport, the little Perth-based Pinnaroos team is regularly in the top three or four worldwide. The average age of the Speed Sailing community is about 57, so they are not young yobs. The oldest member of the Pinnaroos is 81. 76 year-old Speed Sailor Mike Layzell (nicknamed ‘Decrepit’) bombed out because of a fin spin-out, which breaks the board’s grip on the water. After removing slimy algae from his wind surfer, Mike got back on board and was off gain.
