i was thinking canton
need it to be close to home on saturday ( cant be late to my own birthday party )

I was thinking if it goes NW apparently theres a speed spot up the entrance way near canton. If west Canton or narra lake

Sunday Canton for sure.

See u out there boys n gorls

Wysey

Canton I think..If it blows N on Friday maybe Marmong or Valentine..If it blows 30kts I won't have a board I can use as I dont have a weedfin for my 78ltre..
So can you stay in flatwater in Canton with NW - W winds?
Wheres this speedstrip and is it crosshore or..?
Grr Id love to go out 3 days straight but I think after 2 weeks + off the body will die the next day..( headache).

North Entrance at the ex Co-op for the speed channel. Sail in the channel if the wind is w-sw. Very smooth

Thanks. Billy Boy I hope there is some sailboarding equipment on the birthday list ..or $ towards some..

Wouldnt mind heading to canton or some were on that lake .. Only got weedie for the 50L speed board :) hope it blows

Whoa..50ltre! At least at canton if the board isn't big enough in the lulls you can beachstart it rather than deep water start..brr
The way Lake Macquarie sailors are defecting to Canton there won't be anyone left on the lake in the winter W's ..

i just want better weather so i can sail more

You will find with windsurfing the weather is a variable we can't do much about except for cursing those who tell us to windsurfing on the weekend as Seabreeze arrows are forecasting a windy one. There is apparently a causal link between advising to go windsurfing on the good forecast and the forecast eventuating into a light zephyr. Also blame Huey, whoever he/she/it is.



This autumn has not been too bad overall after what would have to be noted as a particularly abysmal summer season of windsurfing. Hopefully we will get a few more fronts and low pressure systems making their way over us the next few months.

Went to Canton today & too N ly..Found out about the co op and sailed there.Locals telling me how to avoid the shallows & sounded more effort than worth it but it was great! 5.8m + 125 board & too much scary.. 95ltre + 5m & great! Flat water certainly makes it easy. Mind you the chop down there is very steep but that makes it great for jumps! ( need to work on those..).
See how the body goes tonight maybe have another go at Canton tomorrow. The W is howling through up here..

got down to kurnell about 3:30 this arvo and the wind was cranking. Only me out and about 20 Kiters.
6.2 was fully powered up and only had my 118 super sport so was having to work hard to keep it down out in the middle. Awesome flat water for gybing on the inside tho :)
Heres hoping for some more fun Sat and sunday

Canton today... + 6 yeehaas! Best sail Ive had in years..4.2m + 95ltre board .
Going to suffer tomorrow but worth it!
New 3/4/5mm wetsuit was toasty! Even had to fall in one time to cool off..

so jealous. . ....

would of been mad fun. ... think It would of been crazy fun with my 5m ( over powered, ???)

Apparently on my one run with the GPS I did 27kts..That was on a beam reach- better than my other 20.5...and don't feel too bad today!

Went out off Neilsen Park, a little light and gusty for the first 50m then blasting. 5m2 and a Goya custom twin waveboard, a little on the edge a few times but lots of fun.
