Considering the lack of wind on the past weeks, i reckon few windsurfers had the occasion to go to the northern car park at Kyeemagh. So for those of you who didn't, I though you might be interested in seeing that:

The link mentionned on the sign: haveyoursayrockdale.com.au/dog-off-leash-review

The proposal is to turn the beach we go on NE into an off-leash area. I find that a bit weird (it's a beach and it's packed with people in summer, windsurfing aside). The area is currently a dog prohibited area (according to the sign there). There was a petition at the C side restaurant, but I don't really think the council will listen much. Still, I thought that was worth reporting here.

have been away camping and the board has been stored in some pretty warm conditions so i decided to take out the plug, something i don't normally do.

arrived at woolgoolga the othe day with a decent southerly blowing and got straight out there without a thought. unfortunately after an hours sailing i realized to my horror the i forgot the plug! for the next couple of hours i sat the board in the sun face up and water kept bubbling out...

so my questions are, is the board stuffed?, what action can be taken to get the remaining water out?

i have a vac pump that i was thinking i could suck the board with, evaporating some of the moisture, is this a stupid idea?? i know the vac pump is pretty strong and could potentialy suck the board together.

any help would be appreciated as this is a brand new board
