That was a big day in sport. Well over on a 4.5 at Beachmere, will have some good bruises to show for it tomorrow, one in the nose of my board unfortunately (they take a bit longer to heal).

How was VP Richo

Thompsons was great. Over powered in the gusts on the 5m and wave board. Survived thou.

Richie, missed you down at Manly. Went for a late solo run 4.5 and 82L awesome fun. Drank about 2 litres of bay water!

I didn't see the councils warning signs about the water until right on dusk.

Small price to pay for quality wind like that!

Solid southeaster - about time. Quick boys trip to hit beachmere's ramps.

My 4.2 was a little big at times, and that was on my 79. Still grinning, good to see farles going for starboard tack air time. Getting ready for maui

No it did not look like it was going to work. I tell you what Beachmere is definately worth the drive in a south easter.

I unfortunately didn't manage to get out but its VERY good to see that beachmere is finally getting some respect that it deserves!!!!

Awesome spot for awesome people on a solid Sou Easter!

What a fantastic couple of days!
Few of us went to Lake Cootharaba for Tues & Wed, what a solid few days sailing, or low flying! Haven't sailed like that for ages. Just got home and recovering. Makes retirement a pleasure when you can do these types of things at the drop of a hat with good company and wind!
