Looks like we will get wind for Xmas in Adelade

Not in WA week of 35-40 and I don't mean knots.

Christmas day sails are a tradition I'd like to see revived. I've had a couple in the last few years and its always a joy to windsurf on this day. Much better than watching some rerun movie while eating chocolates.

This Christmas, if the wind is up a bit I'll aim to windsurf at South West Rocks. If its really blowing I might head for some flat water, perhaps at Stuarts Point.

Here is a video of windsurfing on Christmas Day I took in 2010. It was a great day.

Family stuff/ Xmas lunch etc means no sailing on the day....be a happy little vegemite if I can scratch the itch Xmas eve and maybe boxing day..

I really enjoy the first sail after Xmas and catching up with all your windsurf buddies for the first time, ie. the handshakes, greetings, etc. etc. Sounds a bit old fashioned I suppose.....
Must be the beers I've just consumed.. Getting nostalgic!!
Cheers n Beers
