If the girlie sailor in the top photo had attended a learn to windsurf day she would have been told that her harness lines were way too far forward, as they should be 1/3 of the way down the boom and she shouldn't be able to let go with her front hand, but I am guessing you didn't notice that aspect of the photo Ben.
Sorry Gill - that "girlie" pic was my fault I can't let Ben take the rap.
It was the water colour in the pic that was closest to the lagoon sandbar colour that got my attention first... I swear!
Hey Johnny,
Would you like me to advertise this at a local high school? Approximately 880 students.
Cheers
Steve
Hi Guys Floody and I were talking about weekend and reckon it would be a good day to include a sailboarding gear swap/sell/giveaway at lagoon might get some people into it el'cheepo who are on the fence about getting into it !! Floody has enough old kit in his to gear up half of the norths population! might be worth an add in the examiner etc .
Almost time, well the end of next week in fact.
Keep spreading the word... and don't forget the Taste will also be held by the BBQ's behind the river in front of the sunset Saturday night, all welcome.
PS It will pay to keep Friday the 15th (evening) free if your in the North... more on this tomorrow
I'm bringing the 4 learner boards up from the south so we should have 8 club boards and what ever else Al has in the cupboard
Ben do I need to bring anything else up?
Guys the forecast looks like easterly to variable winds for Saturday are you still holding it at Lagoon Bay?
What a brilliant day My crew alone had 5 first time sailors! Here are a few pics to get the discussion started...
Looks great,
Perfect weather shame about the president shoving his face in everywhere
Is that a 2 sail board there?
Yep Fos - the Floods were very kind to bring down their Gemini for a few of us to give it a crack - I'm sure houston will recount his adventure face to face
Top day once again, and the Taste of the Tamar raising the bar this year - a very prestigious and very exclusive event.
Something like 15 on the water learning...
Plenty of action off the water...
Stories... lots of stories...
First time experience for me, I have never been luffed up by a tandem before and the two characters who performed the manoeuver can't help themselves bragging about it (last pic)
Mixture of old and new gear, washed 9 years of mould gunge and bird poo off the old Speed long board put on brand new KA Race 7.1 and had a great day
The girls are really getting into it up north if you girls want to know how to attract the guys just buy yourself a flash board off Al like Lucy Hyde did! Talk about board envy!!!!
