Looks like it could be on for the day guys...and the early reports are that the swell might actually be better in the morning...so get there early.

At this stage it is unlikely I will make it, still waiting for bub to arrive which should be any day now. So will be looking forward to some epic pics and a report of a good day.

haha i knew someone would be a smartass lol. it sounds stupid to say man your boardies. or man ur harness.

junior could you let me know what time things will kick off.

i am keen to bring the camera along for some practice before driving back to VP around 1pm to get an arvo session at the bank.

cheers.....

News from the guys that sailed Currumbin today is that it is looking good for the swell to build nicely with the overnight wind. Fingers crossed we get a little more east in the direction.

from today

thanks to junior for drawing my attention to this one otherwise i was going to miss it.

Finno on said wave.

nice pics !!!

Junior on a peak at the back beach.

no worries swoosh,

i tried to get a photo of everyone and got some good ones of you. once i sort them all out i'll upload to a website fairly high res copies so everyone to take at will.

i only took the camera to currumbin. i'm hopeless in the surf.
you were doin well mate. there were some fairly large waves coming through and so many surfers........ everyone was polite though so it was good to see.

mmm, bugger. I left/gave up at 7:45 as had to go shopping. Wind was still SW. Managed a very short blast at grand on way home.


Looks like I may have been a little out of my depth too (not for long). Can I ask what size sails where you on? Was wave of the day the biggest? I reckon I'd (mostly) enjoy boom-logo high, if clean.

Bummer #1: Didn't bring camera. Could have had classic entry for seabreeze competition. Backdrop from Currumbin, 2 very tasty brazilian looking girls, one wearing a t-shirt with "I love sailors" on it.

Bummer #2: Shopping went like this: "I like that one. OK, let's go home.".

Awesome photos Gestalt.

^ actually I think they were american, but don't spoil it.

waves were generally head to logo high... some bigger ones came through as well i think.

most of us were out on 5.0 to 5.9's, and 80-100L boards. i was using my 5.3 and 96L board.

some more pics.

hehe, there were quite a few stunned looks.

was a good day and very well organised by the guys.

there were a few of us watching, i bumped into a guy on the beach that had also come along to watch and people were watching from the rocks once the guys went over to the alley side.

thanks mike. i think i can now put a face to the username. you were on the freestyle kit?????

long story short. i am learning a new editting program so things have been a bit slow. i'm up to speed now and hoping to finalise all of the pics by end of the week.

i'll upload some of your pics tonight.

p.s. that was an impressive impact. how did you guys get the gear apart?
