I agree - everyone pray for the next big low to intensify - and then stop moving east when it gets to Tasmania for 6 days please.
Not asking for much Pottssy I guess it is reality when we are so far from any of these guys home location. Would be ****e to travel all this way and the bloody weather craps its pants (or not as the case may be)!!
Most of us who live here even struggle to get there when the timing is right. Still we have a couple of months to sit tight.
Anyone seen Tenet pegs like these in any Hardware or camping stores? I am thinking star pickets are the closet thing? They are about 80cm to 1 meter long. I need 3.
Thanks
I reckon star pickets and an angle grinder to get the long taper would be the go. You can buy pickets at various lengths.
Hey guys - I need 2 people to help me for 3 days when this happens. You will be paid for your time. $140 per day - I need you for at least 3 days. Any new and up and coming Wavesailors would be good (or old bastards like me too) - hopefully get them on Video. Basically - you have to help me when needed and do a bit of leg work. Be responsible with equipment - don't go F*$k the gear - its all hire - the excess on insurance is pretty high. It would be great if you had a jet ski ticket as backup but not necessary. Its condition dependant but would need you Mid next week onwards. Be ready from the 23rd to 29th.
Please call me - 0413 271 762
Potts I should be able to help 23rd to 26th but don't need to be paid. I'll be in Sydney 27th-28th but will be OK to help after that.
I've got no licence for jet ski
Where have I been... Thank god I didn't miss the whole thing... John, does the budget stretch to a tow behind spa?? Does anybody know if ther are any rentals in tas...
Sadly John I don't think I will make it, as I have given up wave sailing for the high adrenaline thrills of strapping a gps to my nuts and playing on the hills hoist like the rest of the guys down here
boooooooooooooooooo
Red Bull Storm Chase
@rbstormchase
Have to cancel for Tasmania mission. Forecast not stabilized, very disappointing. Think we can get better stuff down there if we wait #rbsc
Sorry - been chasing up everything. A meeting to discus weather was done yesterday evening. Its has been decided to postpone for a larger weather system in the coming week. This weekend still looks epic - I am still going down there now - and will be getting footage for Red Bull team. Tasmania is a very hard weather system to predict. In the end if the forecast doesn't show a force 10 system moving over our destination then explaining where 100k when you didn't meet the aggreed requirements would not be good.
Looks good this weekend. For what its worth I said it will come on - which is why they also said it would be good for me to get footage and weather maps of the days so they have back up for the next system when they call it even if its not force 10.
More soon..
Hey Guys - Tappo just came up with the idea of a Nomadic this weekend on Saturday. Hardcore footage will go up on Red Bull site.
