I was sitting at The Naked Fig in Swanbourne having lunch today watching it howl outside.
Have you been getting out Hilly?
I'll be doing a kiting downwinder on sunday, I'll keep an eye out.
Missed every day this week so far due to work/family commitments... Looking fwd to the next few days..Finally looks like the summer seabreeze patterns are here
have a good one
I'm keen but not sure how I'll be feeling after my mates 21st on sat.. Will have to be and after lunch decision for me.. 
like hilly said has been awsome last few days.. Hillarys to mullaloo seems like the best run at the moment 
its short around 5kms but some really nice linkable runners wooooo

That would be a good run, especially if you go out through the breakwall as it would through you out a bit further so it is more of a point to point.
Hillary's to Mullaloo Sunday @2. If it is good and a quick run maybe we can get two in.
I'd love to but could only do earlier rather than later as I would need to be home by 3.
Did City to Scabs last night
Good fun the wind was howling and picked up some nice runners
Nice...
hey what boards are you guys using for these downwinders, I know hilly has the 14' glide,
Could I try one on a 10'11" surf sup or am I wasting my time ?
I did my first ever dw on a 10' South Point Bonga Perkins, probably one of the least stable boards on the market. At the moment i am using a 11'2 Starbord while my fund for a 14' grows bigger. You can do it on anything but the experience and fun factor will be different.
I do them on my DC 16 and my mate on my 12.6 JL.. I'd personly say your wasteing your time on anything much less then 12 foot ish.. I used to do them on my 10.5 starboard but Im pretty light and it certainly wasn't ideal..

I have been using my sons 12 glide and have a 14 coming from Santa
The 12 is not bad but the 14 is quicker. We did Santracks to Swanie last week on that really windy day and I had Ross's 14 from Scab Longboards (son works there). We swapped half way through and who ever was on the 14 pulled away
Can't make Sunday unfortunately.
Anyone else who can't do Sunday want to do a Sandtrax- Nth Cott run tomorrow instead?
Yep looks like the wind will be late ish.. Anyone who is keen meet at mullaz point at 4 for the car swap

How did it go this arvo?
I went for a windsurf for a few hours this arvo and was driving out of the carpark when I saw Belly drive in with about 3 or 4 boards on the roof.
Anyone up for a Rous Head to City Beach run on thurs, could pull in earlier to make it a bit shorter if needed...
Would love to but not sure there is anywhere to start.. it's all rocks as far as I know.. That's why we normally do port beach to floret.. 
I could be wrong, certainly have been before..

There is a disabled fisher's access ramp at at the end of north mole (across from the toilet block), divers use it to access the water and wreck site a couple 100m off the rockwall. Not sure of its suitability to get your board's in the water, but worth a look/go...
Best to paddle out from Sandtrax in the lee of the rockwall and then head north. I know the ramp you are talking about Shunter. Could be a bit risky with 20+ knots screaming over the mole and trying to carry your board amongst the rocks.

What time you thinking?
We did Hillarys Marina to Ocean Reef last night. I don't like that run as much because a third of the distance seems to be fighting to get around Pinaroo Pt
I was thinking around 4
and was going to check out the ramp for access - it fairly steep but you see kids running all over no worries
Hi Shep
Me and Hilly are going to do a Mullaloo run due to time constraints and both live NOR. If you are interested meeting us, we will be at the end Mullaloo carpark at 4. We did a Santrax to Swanie last night, wind was a bit light but always good to get in the water
I was keen on doing a longer run but if there arent any takers, I'll join you guys at Mullaloo
