Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Myself:
Saturday – At the ZU and then RPS to meet Starboard's leader designer.
Sunday – In the morning watching Bathurst hoping my new companies (SAGE) V8 ute does well in the ute series. Afterwards if enough wind go for a sail locally at Bonno.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Hanging out for the forecast to settle, it's less predictable than the share market!
Saturday domestic duties (2-3pm sneaking away to meet Tiesdal You from Starboard at the ZU!), then Sunday sailing somewhere - hopefully, may be Invy or the bay.

A quick couple of hours at Kinane St on Sunday with my freeride before going off to the pub.
A challenge for me in the lumps, but still had fun and some good little runs.

Was great to see people doing forwards and loops on the ramps - very impressive.
I spent a few minutes just watching the gybes on some of these guys... they do it like they its a natural form of moving.... nuts.

Water tasted a bit different than usual - but all good so far.

Good weekend all up - Rugby - windsurf - Rugby. Lots of beer

Good day at Inverloch - bit of light bump and jump in the rough stuff during the morning on high tide, followed by dodge and weave/wonder where the kiter will land/flat water speed on the lower tide when the kiters showed up in numbers during the afternoon. Typical Inverloch fun really
