you guys have scored really.

windy season it is.... said in yoda voice.

Looks like another Nor-Easter at the lake!

5 days at the Lake from tomorrow, hope the wind holds!

Heads up for a smokin late arvo se wind tomorrow Phil. 25-30kn. It may be too late in the arvo but watch the graphs. Sometimes the change comes through early

Goo day on the 8m! Flat out the tnire arvo with no flat spots :D

Anyone know where I can get North sails boom front ends? Figured out thats what's snapped and everything else seems fine so thought I could save a few $ by getting the part and replacing it.

Maui sails make replacements but your boom needs to be a continuous front end

Good call Jonsey. Castaways went off between 1 - 4pm.
Mudjimba Friday?

Excellent!,
the wave break upwind of the Carpark is best...been sailing Mool's of late but will head up there again next opp, used to be my local, along with Coolum in SE.

I was launching from main beach, east of the rock wall then sailing to the north shore. 5 days of sailing out of a 12 day holiday, I'm going home to melb happy. Thanks Queensland and all the friendly windsurfers I met.

Had a look at the bar around 10am, looked a bit light but do-able witha 5.7 or so. N-w cross off one fellow out but rigged too small. Looked ok, chest high lefts, tag-a-long shopping for me...

NIce to meet you bill. Just miss ya gestalt. Weyba for me in the morn, then back to SWR's. Had fun up here was good to meet a few of the local crew. cheers all.

Pretty sure i left just as it filled in... Had some fum runs just bit up and down during my sesh. Bad luck about ur boom mate.
Bill, probably should have joined you at the bar.

Hey Phil,

I think you were packing up as I was rigging up (around 2??). I rigged up my JP FSW 92 and a hellcat 6.2. I was never overpowered, but I was well powered (with max downhaul) at times and got over 30 knots 2s, and sailed 70kms before it died off. I also did a PB on my 1 hour without even knowing I was near to it (long runs are good for 1 hour even if you stop for breaks!!). It was my best sail of the 2 weeks I was up there, and I was glad I went out with the smaller gear. I got out 3 times in the 2 weeks I was up there... all NW/N/NE. There were other opportunities with wind, but was busy with family.

I highly recommend sailing in the general Noosa area and particularly on the lake. Had a great time, and will be back for sure.

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi Gestalt.

I grew up in Noosa, when was that video shot? I can never recall it ever being that good (it would need to be a massive southerly swell to get into the river mouth like that). I have seen it that size, but dont recall it ever consistently break that well (O jave seem lefts but not rights), I guess the stars must have aligned with sandbanks, tide and swell..

Cheers

it was some time around july 2012.

awesome wave.

Same Adrian. I'll be back in Noosa on Sunday- staying for a week or more. Say G'day if you see me. I should get out on Monday if that south-easter holds. will probably hit Weyba first- great little lake, nice crew that sail there. Plenty of other places I want to try. Should be a fun holiday!

I'm back again in Noosa with my family for the school holidays from late Saturday for 2 weeks. Phil, are you going to be around? Anyone else? I will probably look to sail closer to Noosa, so probably Mainly Weyba, Cootharabra... maybe the river, and maybe down to Caloundra if it is a sure thing.

Cheers,

Adrian

Got next Monday to Thurs off. Will be sailing anywhere its good on the coast, Most likely Weyba or GB if a NE is blowing (Mrs and Kids away and I can do what I want)

The normal crowd will be at Weyba

cheers
