quick update.

my lovely wife has reminded me that once again i have planned a windsurfing outing on mother's day.

shame really as there are some good SE's on the cards. so we will aim for the saturday only.

Bring her as well

i would but the fam has organised something at my brothers place. i blame him really.

Only one way to find out. Though if there is a wave there it will likely be covered in esky lids.

Yep, you'd better bring her.
Mother's day has turned GREEN, the only green to be seen.

Here's the Nearmap image for that spot. No bank in this shot (submerged?) taken 23 Jan 2010. One thing pops into mind looking at the number of beach goers in relation to this spot you'd be looking at maybe attempting to sail in/through a patrolled area???!!! Looks like the flags are directly in front of the big SAL block (in this photo).

looks like a diffrerence between tides from google to near photo. that near photo is excellent. looking at the images seems to suggest 2nd ave is the place to be. we will keep an eye on the forecast and make the call closer to saturday. in the end though, if we hit woorim and it's not happening then we can go wherever on bribie.

cheers for doing the research guys.

the other place we used to go was further south at the carpark. not a bad spot also.

hi lungs,

you can come to the meet and check out if you like the club and it's setup. that's the usual approach. then if you like it you should join the club. it's cheap and all members need to be "official".......

That looks like what we used to call "Gilligan's Island".

There's a nice bit of windward sailing for you in a SE'ly

Gestalt,
Don't you do the sell job....
"Honey I let you be all day... to do what you want... be home around dark"...

I'm sure that you would work

ok guys, some more details.

the meet is being sponsored by Caloundra Wind and Surf.

the meeting point will be Second Avenue at Woorim on the surf side of Bribie. conditions are bump and jump or freeride with the ocassional small wave thrown in to jump or carve. (it is bribie)

bbq will not be provided, primarily as the sailing location has no facilities and also so we can be mobile if needed. The plan is to hit the pub (around the corner) after the session for a cheap bite and a schooner.

i have arranged demo gear also.

boards

Caloundra wind and surf have recently become the Lorch Boards importers for australia. there will be several lorch boards at the meet for demo. pete he has asked that people use there own fins with the boards and also asked me to mention breakages need to be covered by the demo'ee .

Sails

KA sails will be available for demo including kults, kaos and koncepts
Simmer sails will also be available for inspection.

SUP's

Sup boards will also be available for demo

One Designs

2 one designs will be one the beach just incase. we can either go for a cruise or catch some waves.

will confirm forecast tomorrow night.

meet will kick off at 1pm if you need my mob number just in case please shoot me a PM.

Saturday or Sunday ??

Any idea on what the shore break is likely to be like in SE'ly? In terms of it being managebale to get out through without getting dinged?

Also any parking advice?

Ya'll have a good time. I don't get released from purgatory until Sunday lunchtime.

If there's wind i be there.
What Happened today

will be there if forecast holds up

would bribie be part of moreton bay forecast or the double isl point to point danger forecaast, at the moment i would prefer the later

i'm not able to speak of such things. i'm not supersticious myself but others are.
