Looks OK to good Saturday arvo, thinking 2pm at Jetty Road.
Sunday looks perfect, probably the usual 10am start.
I've got the boat trailer converted to board carrying trailer on the road so the more the merrier. The trailer takes 6 boards without any doubling up, 12 would be a piece of cake!
I'm working Saturday and Sunday BUT I'll try and get away for a couple of hours Sunday if I can. I'll keep an eye on this thread throughout tomorrow and catch up hopefully on Sunday 
Any idea of a time for sunday
What about this arvo anyone keen, thinking of 2pm at Jetty Road, forecast is for 15 to 20 knots North to North West so perfect direction and nice mellow warm up for tomorrow.
I'm keen for a Sunday paddle. Got Kids footy at 8.45 so i might just be able to meet you at St Kilda by 10. Hope to see you all there, but don't wait if I'm late.

Because no bugger would come out had to do the upwind/downwind thing this afternoon, paddled from Sandy up to Brighton Marina into the wind then had a nice little run back. Couple of guys kiting off kite beach - was that you Gorgo? The other guy touched his head when he went past me, not sure if that meant he thought i was bonkers paddling upwind....prefer to think he was 'tipping his hat'
So 9:30 at Jetty Road, thinking it might be good to do a longer one if the direction is good, maybe Frankston and whoever doesn't want to go that far could come in at Sandy. Has to be easier than doing the two run double car shuffle.
New idea, forecast is Northerly 20 to 30, what about Half Moon Bay or Ricketts to Mornington? Waves will have had time to build up and it is pretty much dead South - sick of those off shore downwinders we've been doing. Ricketts to Mornington is about 24k and Half Moon a few more, so not much more than a double regular StKilda to Sandy and probably heaps more fun. Bit of an adventure!
Hey Jonathan, which board did you upwind/downwind on? Would have loved to have been there but my (expletive deleted) physio wouldn't back down. Four more (expletive deleted) weeks! Have fun tomorrow. And someone please shoot video.
would sunday downwinder be ok for first timer for a downwinder. i sup in surf and flat water but never done a down winder. Would it be better to have first hit out on a 15 to 20 knot northerly rather than 20 to 30 knots?. psh 12 and leggie!!!. cheers dave.

Hey Jonathan, keen to do a Ricketts to Mornington dw run sometime soon,would reckon there'd be more wind out there?, unfortunately can't get there tomorrow,
have to check the new trailer out soon too
,
cheers.
Ricketts to Pelican Bay, or Davey Bay, might be more suitable to the wind direction. Or if the wind goes WNW on you, you might get blown into Frankston.
I can't make it tomorrow, a mate is visiting from Sydney. Have fun and be safe!
Gad I missed the downwinder ! Wind down here in Torquay didn't seem to get very strong... ?
Decent sized Bells today. Good fun. Nice lines. I don't SUP at Bells, but it had some SUP potential this afternoon, as most people gave the bowl a miss on the higher tide, and were sitting up at outside Rincon. But patience in the bowl paid big dividends. 2 people on it, 2-3 wave sets..... you do the maths ! 
Sorry for bad photos. From my dodge back-up phone. Waiting for the iPhone 4, and I don't usually bring a camera with me anyway....
PS - Maui crew look to be having a blast !
