Yesterday we were doing another down-winder across the bay from Pt Cook to Pt Ormond (Elwood) and due to a late start and having to work in the arvo I decided to pass but still come along and drive the car back so the guys wouldn't have the hassle of getting the car back after their run.
Once there and while the guys got ready to go I checked out this new launching spot that I had not seen.. and took some pictures.
I could see the whitecaps everywhere and the wind was howling.. I was wishing I had my board.. The guys where almost ready and I tool some pictures of their boards while still on the trailer.. Jonathan's 14' Starboard and Paul's F16 could not be more different.. and yet if you look at the bottom rocker (the bit that counts) we were amazed at how similar they are.
Look at the similar rocker curves in this shot.
The guys were off to have fun.. I was off to drive back.. I know what I'd rather be doing.
Jonathan had said.. The fuel gauge shows almost empty but don't worry.. It will be enough to get you back... Famous last words.
I took this last pic while waiting on the side of the freeway for the RACV to arrive... Bummer! .. The guys beat me back.
