might dust off the gear for the first time this year...

You've made my day
I've had one sail since March, and all of a sudden this weekend is becoming booked aswell.

Life gets in the way doesn't it?

too right....my two little girls (now affectionately known as 'Ball' and 'Chain') certainly keep me distracted from the pleasures of windsurfing

rain has stopped. getting 32 Knots SE in Manly harbour !!! max gust 41.5 knots!

Just got of the phone with a guy at wello wind 35-40.

and im at work buggar

i am assuming the fetal position under my work station.

this is crap!

i live for 40 knots.

i got the small gear 4.7 and 80lt

wife just rang, redland bay is going under..... may not get home?

...i will have a looksy at 3pm

40 knots is out of my league, both gear and skill, anyway

Make that 60 knots!!!




Do you even need a sail in 60 knot gusts?

.. and we're all on the internets!!

nearly windy enough for Mal to get out his 5.0, might just wait see if it kicks in a bit more

sailed at 12 ish great wind sore eyes with the rain, three house boats on the rocks oppersite the Grand 61 knts gusts..........professor said 18/20 knts might try the6.2m.
10 OUT OF 10 for those who went out today, Kurt,Gerry,Zoran,Andrew.

i've had some windy days at wello, but that was by far the windiest i've ever sailed got-smashed in. took me 5 minutes just to get from the joggingpath to the water's edge with my gear

the trees have multiplied in the park, if you didn't know better you'd swear the council had just gone around and planted small shrubs everywhere and anywhere

hoping for a gentle 40 knots for tomorrow

i take my hat off to you guys.

60 knots.

would love to have tried that out.

Well i have been planning for this for a long time since that windwanderers meet like 2 years ago. I have my 76L and 3m and 4m ready to go all i gotta do is figure out how to get down there . But man i am getting pumped for this weekend

It was a very solid 50 at Wello for a short while around 11.30 and I was glad I had come off the water. I was having enough trouble holding it together in the gusts on the 5.4.

Brad and Simon were out on speed boards and slalom gear, a 6.0 and a 5.1 respectively. I did see Brad fairly out of control in a serious bit of tail walking at one point but generally they were well locked in and flying along. The highlight was Simons back loop, pretty brave/nuts on a speed board and fully cambered sail. Looked good though.

Looks like we are in for some more fun over the next few days. The hole in my hand isn't going to help much, shows how little sailing has been happening lately.
