Please note; these are not Windsurfing Victoria Inc organised events (expect for the WV & MSC course racing event), and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.
Depending on the conditions on Saturday, I hope I will be able to get out mid to late arvo. Hanging out for the strong N on Monday at Green Point.

Sounds a bit better Saturday now, might have to head to Green Point for a look
Guessing you guys got a decent sail up cityway. I went out off Mornington at 1:30pm only to swim back in, then sat in the car in my wet wettie looking at the 25+knots at Fawkner, thinking surely it will hit this way soon. 3 hours later finally packed up.
Good sail at Green Point today. Wife captured some of the windsurfing on camera.
A few sailors at Rye yesterday - looked like it wasn't going to happen, then the wind kicked in bang on forecast! Fun session :) Excellent pics from the green pointers - looks like you boys had fun too!
Packed the gear in the car. It's going to be another, shoo the students out right on the bell, throw on the wettie in the classroom and head straight out after work. Can't wait!
Pete is right, there are many breaks out from Shellys......that lots of surfers go for but they hate a North East and vacate quickly to find off shore conditions not far away. There is another great break for wavesailors.....Cowrie beach.....lots of really big waves but the wind has to be NE thereabouts for an epic day. Yes it was.
