River run?? About mid day
Sunday: Winds: Northwesterly 15 to 20 knots increasing to 20 to 30 knots by late
morning and further to 30 to 40 knots in the afternoon. Winds tending west to
northwesterly 30 to 40 knots late afternoon before shifting west to
southwesterly 30 to 40 knots in the evening.
Ignore the maui in search bar it is melville waters. Mosman to applecross
looks good hilly but out of the water at the moment got the board in the ribs on wed
up the coast bit of swell round if its blowing that much might not even have to paddle
Been keeping an eye on the graph to see if its actually going to happen but was going to make a last minute call tomorrow. That run in your picture isn't that long 3-5km. Hopefully it goes straight west and we can do a run (or two) all the way down to the narrows.
thanks hilly hows your avatar sick
yes that 16 is quick as you know iam not that quick
reece and Marcus are keen as well so lets watch it. There out doing some bop in and outs they through they better do at least one training run before the nationals
A few runs would be the go and if you only drove to point Walter with a quick dash across into the wind you could then cruise all the way up to mosmans with the protection from the wind equals more paddling time, less driving time!
Or even just walk out to the end of the spit and go straight down wind, by my calculations would be just under 5km and I'm guessing pretty darn quick.
Ok was thinking I could paddle no chance with this rib so happy to supply the 6 meter flat bed ivco truck for boards Can take two crew in cab and easy 10 boards so let me know
I'm keen, I see in the news your shark yips were well founded hilly (Boat lost an outboard in a shark shaking off ocean reef), shame about the ribs stimo, but nice offer on the truck.
Not looking good for today's DW run, its 10knts weaker than predicted at the moment and still has some east in it from yesterday.
Think there is a good carpark on Melville beach road at the end of Cunningham. Slightly on the improve.
If only we were at rotto hilly, would be a good run back to Rockingham.
Pretty windy where I am. Lota north in it though. Think it'll Get more west in it before we paddle though. Fingers crossed.
Ok will have the truck there to transport boards and few grew will bring straps and foam for board protection I WILL BE THE TRUCK BITCH
And you guys can tell me how good it was
Absolutley agree. With the use of Stimo's truckmeant we were able to 3 runs in and very little car shuffling.
Run 1 was a bit of a warm up as the wind hadn't really come in yet. 4.27km with an average of 10.2km/hr.
Run 2 the wind had started to come up and more runners were had.4.05km with average of 10.7km/hr.
Run 3 the wind was really howling but the runners didn't seem as good as run 2 were there were glides of 100m+ to be if you could linkthem up. 4.06km with average of 11.2km/hr.
We all agreed that the second run felt like the best even though number 3 was the quickest.
Well done to Niles who came on his first DW run on his Jimmy Lewis surf board.
