Moorabin DFO tomorrow night. A few mates and I are going to test my longboard and have a bit of a play.

Probably be there circa 7.30 -10.30.....

Won't be going if it p1sses down rain though..... so no show on the rain...

It is forecasted to be 30 knots.... which is a non issue, because will be using harness and rig some foot straps.... practice forwards etc.... go hard or go home sort of stuff....

So far, set on the DFO but considering Elwood carpark - any thoughts on that?

And pics or it didn't happen. Will up if it goes down.

Enjoy your day

Pic related. See if you can spot how.

I'm always keen for windskating and the new best place is Princess Pier, Port Melbourne with wind coming straight off the water.

Tomorrow sounds a bit crazy with that wind!

Yeah, will be a bit heavy down there, where as the DFO at Moorabbin has a few windshadows to slow things down in a Northerly....... should be a bit easier.

DFO closes at 6PM every day, so we should be fine!

Bondi, agree, does look a lot like Chapman LOL.

Good to have you on board Purple! Keep an eye on this post for times.... thinking we might need to start around 8 to avoid shoppers and bad press....

OKAY 8 PM is the time we are planning to get there. Rig up and sail out the front:

Some good cross runs (red arrow)..... need to jump the bushes though.... perhaps safer area for forwards......

Fun night have by all, some pics and a dark vid:











Wind was VERY gusty...... from zero to 20+ knots and we had a 5.3m rigged..... the 2m kids rig was much more managable and well suited to conditions.

Anyone know the best wind for this location? Worked best where the large cat was. But very gusty.

Definitely try out Port Melbourne Princess Pier in a westerley / Southerly.....

Once a week would be sweet....

DFO carpark works best near the airport. That's where we did it years ago. Only need 5 knots.
