Might make it down for a social paddle - just did a cruising warm up paddle from Moana surf club to Gulls Rock at Maslins (beach was deserted so nothing to see), paddled around the rock and scared the bejesus out of the shags sitting out there (stinking things was putrid down wind of them) and back - around 8.+k's
Still alive and kicking so should be able to paddle to Glenelg
Whats the arrangements for gear and parking?
If we head down solo how do we get back to brighton? Anything planned
Hello does any one knows who sells the little windsurf trailers for behind a push bike ??
