Sunday: S/SE winds 20/25 knots, increasing to 25/30 knots offshore.

Wonder if we will see 15 knots of that? Man I hope so.

The chart is looking pretty solid for Sunday - that's one big pressure system. All the wind in Australia this weekend is affected by it - sorry WA guys. All depends on how the system moves though. All it has to do is drop just enough for those isobars to hug the coastline. If it sits up a bit we'll be screwed like last weekend.

Touch and Go.

Just had a surf in Coolum with Echostorm - hope you have a thick steamer though, that wind is damn cold - funny though, we did discuss a night kite tonight but the thought of putting my wet steamer on at midnight doesn't excite me...

When echo and I were out surfing we saw a guy out at stumers on a massive Waroo - we thought it might have been you Bananaboy....whoever it was must have been a bit desperate...did the walk of shame about 5 times trying to keep the kite in the air.
