.10am...4 knots S......
update... 12pm...10-17 knots S. (in Manly boat harbour which is partially sheltered from the South.)
..12:40..still up and down. max gust 20.8 knots...I'm heading down about oneish.
I'll be there in 5!!! Oh, you said 4 knots, not 40... I can feel it in my bones that it will blow. Actually I am 99% sure it will howl, mainly because we are holding a birthday party here today and I may not be able to get away!!!
its a bit windy at manly west rite now , betting it will be a great day down at manly .
Got out late and thought I had missed all the action but luckily for me it came in with interest and I had my hands full on my 5.4. Awesome in those powerful fronts before a squall, they really light you up.
Great arvo.... apart from perforated eardrum and huge black bruise on my back. Day 1 of forward looping was less successful that I had hoped for. My guess is I am about 90 degrees around, only another 270 to go.
I think I will be wearing ear muffs next time.
Nice bruises on your back Bartie, Matt would be most proud. It really came in after you left, was riding the 101 futura. A great call in the gusty conditions and it copped the biggest of gusts well and only kicked me off once on a particularly nasty one. The extra volume saved my bacon in the end with a slog home.
Might get a shot tomorrow arvo all going to plan.
Scot good to hear that the futura worked for you get any jump on the big board. Good to here it came in after I left as per normal.
that was pretty fun! and i managed not to get smashed by jellies, which was a miracle
There was also a new freestyle trick invented. A single ballet dancer style pirouette, followed by a face plant. In the tradition of tricks it is named after a "Star Trek" character, and in in this case also after the inventor of the trick...........The "Scottie"....
Nothing wrong with big boards, I was on 100L board and a 4.2 sunday! Imagine having to swim back through those jellies [}:)]
Speaking of crashes, I had a massive one right in front of richie i think, dunno what happened, started to gybe in the flat, caught a rogue ripple and next thing I know I was in the water haha! quite possibly the worst gybe attempt ever witnessed.
