Was on the beach watching you start off from Yaroomba on your 9 the other day Will. Didn't recognise you till you got going. I followed you down about 20 minutes later, was pretty average! The winds been so bad I decided to go back to work Fingers crossed for the new year.

Climate change perhaps?

My 15m has seem more action in the last couple weeks than it's seen in the last 2 years.

Wind is back

Out on the 9m doing a DW

I was hoping the wind would be cranking 25+ for these few days ive got off, but ive only had two light sessions on my 12, you wouldn't want to be learning out in Bramble bay atm either, the amount of jellies in the bay are ridiculous. Many jellies on the coasts? Might have to go for a road trip

So in other words, wind comes and goes. What was the point of this thread again?

What about today an tomorrow, I am up from Melbourne and brought a 17m for the light winds...

Iam in the Runnaway Bay area, any recommendations for locations and is anyone heading out later today or tomorrow...

ANy help would be great... thanks.

At the top of this forum there is a Locations guide... open change to Satellite view and magnify a bit.
All the yellow icons are for downwinders. Along Sunny coast either N to S or S to N. Click on these for description - and go in travel direction till reach the opposite arrow coming the other way. Say Castaways to Stummers Creek (N to S - Tomorrow 30th go earlier if you only have 17 M as likely to be 16-20 knots after about 2:00pm due to sea breeze) - Stummers creek is approx 9-10 kms to south just scroll along shore-line till you reach opposite marker = Stummers creek to Castaways S to N - leave car at one end and use bus along David Low way to get to back - they run every 30 mins. Chances are you will run into someone already setting up or on-route. Locals tend to be on smallest kite possible so would be waiting till the wind picked up more than for a 17m. Sme commits 2morrow but may get a late arvo' run Yaroomba to Redgate / North shore... Hope u get out - as long as you are experienced it is a fun run and easy enough solo.

Cheers

kEITHO - Just click on this tab at the top of this forum - to go into google maps.... All along the Goldie to Currumbin is downwind able ... just note flagged zones....

No wind - too hot to keep sanding the deck (Break project) so forum goggles on




This was Y'day's happening - just checking the M'dore readings and noticed this.... at DI - the top graph readings the wind gauge is located just below the ' b' in Rainbow



12-13 NNE then 17-36 SSW - really rocking...

Cheers

Top NYear to U all

Cheers aquaPlow just having a few drinks saw your post thanks,went out today at Sandgate not to bad ,but sea lice real bad but had fair time of it, will check out references you showed , happy new year to all ,lovin this sport

Rain forecast could stuff it



Or make it howl harder then an 18yo

I think it might have something to do with the big guy upstairs, you watch back to work next week and the winds will pick up.

My mate bought a Crazy Fly Sculp 12m

Give me a text Greggor

But the forecast isn,t great

Hopefully it is wrong
