Took the family up to GB and had a good day with Oldschool, Dags, families with all kids getting on boards at some time.
My two 11 year olds on a tyronsea 370 with a 3.4 gaastra maverick wave sail (courtesy of Geoff). they prefer the old $35 board than the more modern wide starboard go 155, they recon they go faster on the old long board.
Some unedited footage of one late in the day and getting tired. note the one handed sailing and thumbs up at about 5:44 - 5:50. and ignore my yelling instructions to him.
these action cams not real good for far away shots. Sorry its quite long
Great work there Lungs! Was awesome to see some junior wind warriors in action.. All hail the 'longboard.' A Fun day was had by everyone. Lets get the young gun crew together again ASAP.
good one guys,if i could learn on a tyronsea any one can,hey lungs i noticed that you are on a zantos ,i hope oldskool counted his boards before he went home ,i know i did.
Grich, Zantos still in my possession! Last count 16 boards. Still dont know what i like riding other than the big Speed F1.
That's a great little spot for the family and learner's.
Was a really nice cruise all around the place, sparring with Andrew on his F1 Speed V's Wally.
Wife really liked meeting everyone, and Daughter liked it until she cut her feet.
I don't think it'll be a problem getting her back this time though, as she enjoyed mixing with the other Kid's.
Great to meet some more crew, we'll be back.
Cheers.

Yeah GB is one of our favorite locations - in fact it was where I first stepped onto a board - with a lesson from Collin and still love it there - hope to get there again soon

Well done all getting the kids into it at GB!!!!
Moz, we took over a massive area at the beachfront near Gemini. Great to see all the kids sailing around. In all we had 7 kids on the water n 1 adult learner. Even had passers by asking if we do lessons!!!
Bit like time travel, thought I was looking back to 1987. Just need a few Bombora Big Toys in there to mix with the Tyronsea's and you got a full 80's typical day of sailing
Moz im going to suggest a retro sailing day. Get out the old kit.Board n sail to be era correct. Got a few ol Wildwinds sails ,gaastra f1, NP vx.
And of course every board i own will be eligible.
Heres a Different angle on GB. SURFS UP!! Windswell near lighthouse.
