Just been down to the point at manly. SW at 10kts and very cold, lot of rain about.
Thomos in a ssw ok?
Was thinking wello today. Play between king and manly in the ssw and then on the outside if/when it goes south.
Thats very organized of you Scotty. I'm still waiting and watching.(with the heater on and a hot cup of tea.)
I was just looking at Marine weather services. It says SW all day...Hello Wello ?
At wello, quite west and low with a bit of rain about. Quite dismal if I'm honest but a learner just went out on the inside with a 5.3 and 101 and is planing on and off. Lots of rain on the radar so I think I'll join him on a 6.6 and hope it kicks later.
Vp report, rain & sw.
How can the rain bands track SE & the wind be SW? I don't get it!
Goin to wello
Was awesome between 10.30 and now, just becoming patchy now buy hoping to have another session after lunch. Very impressed with the new fanatic freewave 105. It's been a while since I've felt so at home on a board strait out of the box and the straps are like an old leather lounge.
Mast high cross offshore session at twin waters. Hectic to say the least. Many attempts to get out of back but once you did it was worth it! Nice to get some down the line on the sunshine coast
Wow how good was that? I was the first one out at Wello. Awesome runs on the way back in. Sailed for a couple of hours, and then second session on the eastern side on the speed bank. What a great spot! When I came in I counted over 25 sailboards out there. Nice. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as well. Oh and nice to meet you scott
Yep. that was worth getting a bit cold for...As Scott said, very consistant for Wello westerlies.
Interesting observation statistically. About 30 windsurfers,about 6 kiters.
Great to see alot of the old faces again on the water, far out it was awesome to see so many windsurfers out there having a blast!!
You must be stuft Clive. You were already out when I got there, and still out when I left...More tomorrow.
Just home and showered... that's what happens when you live in the outer western suburbs Had an awesome time. Thanks Scott those tips you gave me the other day really helped. Putting two foot straps out wider on the back and leaning more on the rail finally I am starting to manage steering on the plane and not heading down wind all the time. Had some epic catapults and thanks to the guy who came over to see if I was alright.
That was awesome ... so many Windsurfers out there!! Happy that I didn't collide with anyone; didn't have my contact lenses with me, glasses not good with salt water ... so I had to go out 'blind' ;-)
