B annoying! So you'll be out at Valentine?

Bet the bolt suppliers have never seen anyone frothing at the mouth wanting bolts..lol's

Have you tried Specialised Wholesale at Lambton? They seem to be the best place for stainless gear around Newcastle.

Newy specialized wholesale gave me wrong 1's, newy high tensile couldnt find anything that fits.
the curse of buying new gear strikes again, i should have got plastic cheapies.

and some more.....

Great photos , very wild there again today ,
Sue was going really well when I was leaving z,
The wind got a lot more consistant later in the day

Nice pics Rexy! Looks nice and flat. Shame about your mast...

Looks can be deceiving. !!!! Was very bumpy !!! And the
Wind was stronger than it looks also

Anyone down canton way yet? any wind? got me fins to fit with a bit of hammering, patience was not working so tried some force & success.

Where the photos were taken was generally the flattest and also gustiest area. c 300m to the right of those shots was where the main wind was coming through but short little wind waves as well..
The early shots were like it was when I first got there .The last was a sample of when the stronger bits came in. Canton doesn't usually get any whitecaps in close unless its really howling!
Great shots of Leo. 1st time I've seen a shot of someone gybing and relaxed enough to be smiling!

I reckon it would have been great! I should have had yesterday at home and gone today..

I sailed valentine, my brother was able to sail so we went
there. tried the 24 weedy & its like a nomal fin, planes easy
turns good gose up wind the same as me slalom fins & fast.
it was a good 25+ had 5.2 up, it was sw ssw & there was some nice
2ft chop & flat parts cause of the little bit west. hopping it
hangs around 2mora.

GOOD PICKS REXY THANKS ! FAB WEEK N WKND LETS HOPE THATS THE START OF WINTER CONGRATS TO AL THAT SAILED ON THE WKND IT WAS AN AMAZING TIME FOR ME REALLY ENJOED IT CANTON COUNCIL SHOULD LOOK INTO A GOOD BREAK WALL WOULD BE EPIC TO HAVE A GOOD SPOT WITH FLAT WATER WOULD OF DEFIANTLY B RUNNING 45+ [}:)]
SO MUCH NEW TALENT ON THE WATER UP AND DOWN THE COAST ITS GOING TO BE AN EXITING YEAR FOR SPEED IN NSW.

Yes it was cold on Saturday. I arrived fairly early, at around 7.30am as the forecast was for 20 to 30 knot winds all day. However at that time the weather was a light southerly, rain along with very cold weather. I thought I was an idiot who deserved a red thumb for starting this thread and jinxing the day.

I sailed my big board and sail for a while. It actually was quite good after a while, pleasantly powered up but not overpowered. There were two kiters out for company and we had a few runs together which was fun. I found windsurfing is faster than kiting.

I think staying out in the cold and in a wetsuit all day really affected me as I was pretty sore that night and Sunday. I didn't feel like windsurfing in the cold on Sunday. I think I'm coming down with a cold too...

I took some video of Saturday and will try and post it on this thread later. It will be short and sweet.

I haven't noticed the cold thsi winter since I got my toasty new wetsuit.. until Sat when I was standing waist deep in icey water with my back to pelting rain sitting out a 45-50kt gust..Then my hands started to get cold..Warmed up again though once sailing. I dont care if everyone thought I was a whoose going for a 3/4/5mm wetsuit.. best thing Ive ever done! Ive had better sailing this winter than anytime since I've got back into the sport 3 seasons ago..

We dont care either !
