We had similar weather at Canton Beach today. Not the best weather for windsurfing but better than nothing.

Was it hard to avoid the weed / shallows? Did you have to go out in the chop? It was S wasn't it?

Saturday's session at canton was the best
I have had there , dead south is a great direction there.
It was pretty shallow , but never had any trouble ,
Huge runs one end to the other , broke my
Nautical mile pb by 4 knots a PB 2 sec peak and 5x 10 sec
All in all a great day !!!!!!!

So what speeds did you get? I'v efinally got my weedfin for the 78ltre so no more worry re the chop!( as long as the winds up). I'll try it there next S. I was sure you'd have to sail straight out into the chop at that direction..

Yeah I enjoyed Saturday at Canton Beach too but the wind was a bit too up and down plus I was never really overpowered on my 5.9m. The weed caused a couple of crashes too.

Hi Greg, I didn't have the camera on for most of the time and one file was corrupted. So no footage of crashes. A bit unfortunate as they are good for a laugh.
