Right now!

Safety Bay 9am. Blowing spray and foam. 40 knots+ and unsailable (for me anyway).

Boom!

When you Fall off your bike and separate your ac joint and get told no fun for 3months. surgery tomorrow
I decided I'm still going to Gnaraloo in 3 weeks to spectate so I can still watch my mates and share there fun

Where I'd rather be (if I had the skills). There's something about being thrown around in a violent ocean, and surviving. Remote. Almost alone. And feeling very, very small. I used to surf in similar and it's another world.

Somewhat related is this video from Fuerteventura from a few years back. Captures the atmosphere really well (I assume; I've never been there). Enjoy.



Can't wait to see some footage from the next Storm Chase.

I was down there a few weeks back blowing 35's and a crew of speed sailors were gearing up doing runs across the weed bank. They seemed to be extremely knowledgeable and precise with there gear gear setup for the conditions and were chomping at the bit to rig up and get out as quick as possible.

Think the key to staying safe it knowing you limits and experience in conditions and areas.
As popular as Kitesurfing is there was not 1 kite out!!!

As for that picture t11 i think those conditions are for the say 10-15 percent of top end windsurfers (like speed sailors) when it get above 35.

I get really freaked out when it starts raining and i can barely open my eyes!!! Need a gaff with super fast shield wipers!
