Looks like they wont have another till hopefully around October/November. Im heading up in May for a couple of days, looking to be cold but as long as the wind is good the cold wont bother me too much.

Been looking at that as well at least you could still look at the open water. I'm gonna try my luck with the old lures again for a second time in a creek. So no Windsurfing for me.

Have a great Easter everyone.

Trying up cooloothin creek mate? We got a decent few Bream up there around September last year just on prawns haha. Might be dropping in the sailing boats and competing in the lake regatta! It's been a while but just no too keen on bobbing around on with the 8m and not planing haha.

Hopeless today. 8 knot NE and it was on and off. 8 knot SE just came in about 30 minutes ago but I don't think its going to build to much. Will keep you updated

I expect tomorrow will be quite sailable with wind easing in the afternoon. Of course it depends on what gear you have and how much wind you need.
I expect there will be enough to get me planing. I should be there just before midday at Boreen Point.

Used the sups yesterday with 5.8m.

Change came through last night probably 12 knots or so. Lighter early morning conditions now. We are all ready to go today.

Maybe seabreeze tomorrow. Maybe not

No wind here in Noosaville. Very overcast and light showers have put a damper on the wind.

monster red claw.... i wouldn't tell anyone. moz is a pretty good hand at cooking em up also..

lake was light but awesome! first family camping trip.

wife has gone from zero love of camping to 50% like of camping. planning the next trip already.

9 year old daughter did her first s turns on a windsurfer and was out supping at the crack of dawn every day.

7 year old daughter now loves supping, had her first real windsurfing lesson but didn't like the clothes she was asked to wear home.

4 year old son had a revelation. reckons he didn't know camping was that much fun and is now hooked on windsurfing and the idea "there is no deep end at the lake". spent every second of the day, canoeing, supping, swimming and windsurfing. was also stoked to see a sup paddle with his name on it. guess i'll have to get him some naish gear and rub out the i

weather was excellent. bit of rain last night but all said and done had a blast. i got out on the sup both with paddle and a 5.8, had a quick night sup and spent most of yesterday teaching the kids to windsurf.

good to catch up with everyone up there including some i haven't seen in a few years.

cheers to kellie and dylan and the windwanderers.
