I hope to be comming down will there be a Go there?
Also the 15th is my 17th so I think the best way to spend it is out on the water all day .
Cheers Pittsy
Yep. I'm definately in :). Never been to Milang though.
Is it accessable with a normal car ?
Is swagging it swagging out with the stars ? ;)
Is it possible to tent it ? (or is it too open ?)
Cheers Ja
Hi Jay,
Bitumen road almost to the waters edge.
Caravan Park on the waters edge.
Pub just a short stagger across the road.
Just don't sail too close to the reed island, theres been a few engine blocks found just under the water. Not a nice thing to hit while you're sailing!
Oh, and if you swallow the water in the lake you'll come out looking like that fish on the Simpsons... the one with three eyes!
It's an awesome spot for anyone, particularly for someone who's at your level. It's perfect for building skills.
Have fun!
Hi Guys. The guys at the Milang caravan park (Jill and Joe) are offering 10% off for all sailboarders and kitesurfers who are keen to stay with us on saturday night. Just mention that you are part of the group and let them know what you need (powered / unpowered site, caravan or cabin). Fingers crossed that we get some wind, we've got a pile of gear for all to try... JP, Fanatic, Thommen, Neilpryde, and North windsurf gear, Cabrinha, North, Slingshot and Naish Kite gear and Naish SUP boards. Redbull will be down there as will the BBQ and a few Coopers for the afternoons. We'll also make the most of the Milang Pub on saturday night, the counter meals are excellent! Looking forward to seeing you all there. Cheers Pete
I'll definately see you all down there. I'll post the announcement
on the public forum at work. That should shake a few trees ;)
Thanks Muzza. Yeah, has anybody taken out their fin on a
submerged object before ?. What usually happens ?. I'm spending
more time on the board than off it now days, so the only thing I'll be
drinking is beer
Milang is nearly here, all the red bull you can drink, flat water and wind, then a great dinner at the pub, a night under the stars, and all again on sunday.
Cant wait.
I can only come Sat (double booked sun -- bollocks). Looking at bom, sat looks
like the slightly better day. I'll make a day of it and get there early and go home
at night. I'm really looking forward to this. I wasn't able to get out last weekend.
il be there mid arvo, have to work the morning . i think hamood is coming if he finishes his reno. looking forward to it. is there many just swag'n it or are you booked into a cabbin?
Sunday might be the surprise day - sse 18knts at VH on the map for 3pm - cu sunday with family in tow - hard part will be getting the Funster off my wife and daughter
hey guys cheers for putting it on had a awesome day on Saturday so many people there. I wanted to stay and sail all day sunday but couldn't convince mum.
Oh well the race was great to watch with Peter bubs getting in after the race had finshed still on his first lap.
Cheers Pittsy
Ha ha yeah awesome day... Great to try out all the gear also. Yeah he didn't even get one lap done lol, the easyride probably wasn't the most ideal race board either, he was pretty hammered. He said it seemed like a good idea at the time lol.
Anyway thanks again Pete, Brett and all the crew, a great day.
Cheers
Bubs
High fives all round, great weekend everyone, Cheers Pete and Onboard for your support and letting is loose with the new sails and boards!
Good to see some new faces and new people giving it a go!
Hey dave,
you end up getting some good footage/pictures??? Would love to see some of it if you did. Let us all know if you get it up on youtube or in the photo section.... Especially anything to do with that race ha ha.
What was the second day like conditions wise, good turnout???
Cheers
Bubs
Yeah, I had a great day too. I came down Saturday and hit the water at
9. I was completely stuffed by 5. I left the pub at 10:30pm and didn't get
home till 12:30am.
It probably wasn't strong winds by most peoples standards, but the winds
at 1pm were the strongest winds I have ever sailed in. A few times, my
board went planing down wind like an uncontrollable missile -- I still have
much to learn. Today, I figured out now to go up wind (that's what I spent
most of my time trying to do) and standing on the side of the board (not the
middle anymore). Still not in straps yet, but baby little steps.
Pittsy, you were sailing next to me I think ?. You looked like you were doing
really well :)
My arms are kaning.
Cheers
Ja
Thanks Pete & Brett for yet another blast from Onboard.
Loved having a try of those new sails, now if only i can scrap the cash together for a nice v8 6.5m sweet!
Great to meet more people hope to see you on the water in the future.
Cheers
right on guys! fantastic weekend, had a friggn ball on saturday. was orsm, especially the bearded guy dry rootn the chick outside the mens toilet. sorry to the other kim(female) for almost taking her legs of in the race due to an accident in front of us at the wrong time. loved meeting you all and hope you get to barmera next year. many thanks to pete and his crew once again. cant wait for the next one.
some ferral from the bar was trying to get a chick to play hide the sausage in the mens toilet at the pub. a ferral pump'n a bush pig - what a sight!
well if they hold it at the same time next year I might be able to experience ancient art of hide the sausage as shown by the native wildlife and also seen on David Attenbrough latest documentary.
