Sooo the winds are looking good once again for a downwinder.. Whos keen to join me saturday arvo ?
Any time after 12 and place im not fussy.. I was thinking of doing a longish one at medium pace maybe port beach to hillarys approx 25km, just a thought im up for anything but..
Strong straight southerlys but now its changed to SSW still ok but i spose maybe should do one favouring a SSW a bit better then a straight southerly..
I have the little one all day Saturday but I might be able to get out for an hour or so in the afternoon, but wont be able to do a big one. Let me know what time and where and I will se what I can wrangle as I want to get out and give Lukes glide a go.
Belly you got the dw bug real bad..... Will be taking off that arvo so cant make it. Cams got my Glide so he may be keen. Cheers
Yeh i sure have.. Did about 10km yesterday was so much fun im starting to get that catching runners thing you guys talk about haha
Well the winds a still SSW or straight S all day so im thinking the port beach area to hillarys.. Start around 2 how does that sound to all that are keen?
I've seen Cam paddling out at scarbs in a .75m swell and that was entertaining. The thought of him paddling out at Trigg in a 2m swell on my board........... I think bash may be the appropriate word Belly.

Haha sounds entertaining might take the camera take some photos of Cam trying to BASH his way out in shoulder height close outs ..
You might have an excuse to buy an unlimited board Jenkz if Cam returns the 12 in two pieces

Great. You've done 2 races for a 3rd and a 1st and now you're starting to get the hang of catching runners, I reckon you'd be better off on a much smaller board, how about downwinding on your 9'4"?
I was thinking about doing that actually Adam.. You recon anyone has done the doctor on a 9,4 ?
Do you recon its even do able ?
If anyone is crazy enough to do it, its you
Talking of crazy, Cam and I were talking this arvo and I mentioned how great it would be to next season do a paddle over a few days from cape naturaliste or somewhere similar to Perth. You could paddle a certain distance each arvo when the seabreeze kicks in and cover the distance over 3 or 4 days. It could be a lead up to the dr race so if anyone else was keen from over east they could tie in both. Is this a completely stupid idea or is it doable?
Just rememeber who has your Glide for the next couple of weeks Luke. If your not careful I might think about flogging it off nice and cheap. Or taking it out at the point on the weekend and letting the shortboarders have a go at it.

Id be super keen for a few day/arvo paddle from down south sounds like an awsome idea ......and who knows i might even do the doctor on the 9.4 for a laugh
Im also in the process of convinceing my old man to be a support boat so we (whoever is interested) can do the rotto to hillarys run a few time before next year..
Rotto race on a 9'4 for fun?? Why not crawl to work on your knees tomorrow instead of driving, just for the fun of it..... One piece,all the same colour Cam..

Just leaving for the crawl to work now jenkz
How long are you away for ? Like i said trying to tee up a support boat to take us to rotto the drive back while we paddle.. Might try an organise it for soon after you get back.....if your keen that is..
Okay guys port beach to Hillary's might be a bit of a stretch for my endurance. How about a slightly shorter one? say 12-15km? Say Fremantle to City Beach?

Any thoughts or City Beach to Hillary's?
You beat me to it. I was going to reply with the same, I was thinking of Port beach to City beach then the guys that want the endurance can keep going to Hillarys.

I am in for that starting 2pm on Saturday. Belly, Cam, Adam, Shep and anyone else is that cool?
We can organise cars via PM so we dont clog up the forum but depending on numbers probably need two cars at the end destination.
Yeh sounds good to me im thinking we all meet at city beach at 2.00 sort cars then head to freo.. Makes it easy for everyone to find everyone and then depending on numbers might only have to take 1 car to freo..
Im open to suggestions if any one has any better ideas.. Ive always done these things pretty unplaned haha
haha
