Looks like the summer patterns are here, good for all those who can get down winders in during the week.

Me, Hilly and Ben did Dawesville to Madora yesterday
Even though not that windy and a fair bit of swell, well worth the drive
The direction of the coast makes for going straight downwind
We will definately go again when windy

haha, no secrects. averaged 11.4 kph which will be slow for many in this sport but is a pb for me. only 9km run. new dc definately helping. my old pb was 11 on the flat water dc. this new board flys! also had my quickest top speed today of 23.9, dunno if it was new board or just lucky wave. any way point being... best run this season. good to be out doin proper dw runs in the ocean again:)

I havent touched my paddle since the Saturday Black Blade thingo but had two awesome days of kiting, made the final but didn't get a place in the Wedge Wavekiting comp, think I was still too stuffed from Saturday.

I'm working all day Wednesday but up for a DW tomorrow if anyone is keen, prob just looking at Scarb (maybe City) to Sorrento.
Sold my Glide and still haven't got a new DW board but the guy that wants it is working away so still hasn't paid for it or picked it up so I think I should take it for a couple more paddles before it goes.
