Who's sailing where in the southerly on Saturday?
Looks like 30+ knots
Wind will be too strong for my skills, still looking for less windy places on saturday
I am wondering if Saturday is going to be one of those days where the swell makes it into dolls point. Anyone know how big the swell needs to get before we get this - www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/New-South-Wales/Dolls-Point-6-June/

Hi dezza reg has got this thing in his head about sailing from primbee across the lake to the other side and back so if it's a good southerly direction I guess we'll have to give it a try then. Your more than welcome to join us if you want to but it gets very rough in the middle during southerly winds and requires maximum concentration to sight your tracking that's why I've been trying to put him off attempting it but he's very persistent.

Hey there benyip windsurfing is one of those things that you have to experience the extremes and push the envelope to really improve your skills however you must always do that with your safety first in mind so to try yourself in strong winds it would be best to do it in onshore wind where the water is not deep so if you get into trouble you can always walk back to your launch area. Primbee in a westerly is probably the perfect spot for these conditions and there is nearly always someone there to help you out. Please feel free to contact me if you feel you want to come down and give it a try and I could be there to help you out. Good luck with your windsurfing and never give up.

I am thinking about it. My smallest sail is 5.5, and I don't have a weed fin, my current fin is freeride 38 on a big learning board. Someone said weed fin is compulsory over there
Where is the best place to launch for tomorrow where the wind is southerly with little west?
Probably the safest would be Narrabeen lakes, the Northern carpark. Wind would be gusty, but onshore and small waves. Or you could try George's river, south end of Botany bay, launching near the sailing club, you could sail parallel to the shore, but waves would be bigger

Will do in st geroge sailing club. Thank you very much. That's a good spot
Good on you benyip keep up the good work. I know that the stronger wind will be a struggle but it will help you with your skills improvement. Remember that persistence is the key that unlocks the barriers that will hold you back.

dezza I sent you an email , i'm working so I hope you get a sail, heres mudskipper today at wollumbulla , he is sailing wide of the speed run to get back to the rigging area , as you can see the water is flatter in close

The water there is water ski flat.
glassy speed sailors dream might get up there myself if l can get out of the office. seathing***.
Thanks keef, that place looks the go to give the falcon a run in a different spot, time the red weedy fin has a go in another place. What size sail was mudskipper on?
Waterpistol, I'm on for a trip across the mighty Illawarra in a southerly any time you and reggie are giving it a go, I reckon you're right it might be a bit big and choppy out in the middle tomorrow, good and windy out there now.
Mudskipper was on 6.7m and underpowered,so thats us maxed out on 5.5m.
See you tomorrow.

Usually works in a Se swell. I've sailed there in 3-4' waves when swell wasn't huge but coming in the right direction.
should be better in lower tide as there is a sand bank a couple hundred metres out.
I'll be at Canton for the day. At least till the body holds out anyway. I watched a guy head out at 5.10pm yesterday. Talk about keen! hope he had a good couple of runs till it got dark. See you on the water. Fast and bumpy.
Thanks for fixing that akim, I've been struggling all night to get that vid posted!!
You and Alex were ripping it up today! Loved your jump 
hey you've gotta love those revamped 1980 wetsuit color coded green for starboard
Good stuff Dezza. Don't know how you can sail in that cold without headcovering.brr..
Where was the camera when it wasn't on the mast tip at start of the boom?
I borrowed Rus's headcam last sail.First time I started I smashed the mast down on it..It happened about 5 x so I hope it survived! Probably pushed the camera so it faced the water..
Pity as I got a few good runs.
Made me realise how little space is between me and the mast beachstarting - lucky I wear a helmet!
