Dave and I went past doing a down-winder in the 40 knot hot North wind.. What a hoot!.. I was on my new Naish Glide.. and I was faster than Dave for the first time.

I'm a happy chappy alright..

..The Glide is like a rocket in those conditions.

My back leg is so tired from surfing the board in the surfing stance while getting some mega-long runners.

I got to the end of some and just fell in with a big smile on my face..

DJ, the sailors of Green Point all gave the thumbs up, when we look out over the headland to see two guys on a mega-downwinder. Kudos to you...!

He tried some boards..and also tried some paddles.

He loved the Glide.....(Don't we all)..

Met a guy last week who designed our bus Denning in 1982, great bloke about 70ish.
Back then they named every bus and tram like they do today with boats.

Denning was named "Elwood"

So Elwood it is, from this day forth

"Elwood"
the changed back to 1983 bus
