I delivered V15-5m to my sister on the Gold Coast in southern  
Queensland.

We had some nice time on the water near her home on the Gold Coast.

This is a series of clips taken on the Nerang River:

She has hundreds of kilometers of similar waterways all connected and  
many launching points only a few minutes drive from her house.

The warmer water was nice for some speed runs.  I hit 18.4kph during  
this run:

If you look closely the lift due to dynamic forces is apparent.  The  
small waves amplify it in the clip.  In calm water I get the first  
600mm of the bow clear of the water.
