Caught the last of the big swell of the week at Robe yesterday. Consistent 25 knots all afternoon, Consistent 1/2 mast high sets, cross off. Consistent loops, consistent wave rides, consistent fun, consistent stupidity, consistent consistency.

Geoff was too busy being consistent to take any footage.

Me, i was just busy having an awesome sail.

I hope i dont consistently see brown snakes as big as the one i saw in the dunes yesterday though. Easily 6foot long.

And yes, please spare the jokes about what was i doing in the dunes

Yeah, well, it was a BIG snake....

anyway, enough snake talk. At the end of the day, it was a good session that was certainly a lot better than anything anywhere near to Adelaide lately. Unless ive been missing something??

Three quarter mast and cross off at nene Thursday afternoon, powered up on my 4.5m and 76l twinny. More consistent!!!!! And cray bottom reef point breaks all firing. John Magarey sailed big pebbles that morning too.
Great start to the season, HAAK teabagged 3 nights that I know of and all 20k+

No photos means no proof. Brag all you want but if no one saw it it didnt happen.

photographs will cause me pain josh, so i'll pimp it with words.

locals like the uncrowded breaks and are quiet about its CONSISTANCY but not i.

btw i like robe too, you can get a latt'e and fish 'n chips. lol

Scotty, i think you might be confusing Geoffs enthusiasm with bragging. Granted, we didnt score Margarets or outside castles or gnaraloo but there were certainly jumps that s#@t on anything ive seen locally this summer and yeah even though the waves arent hollow they were still waves.

I think you might find Geoff is just sharing his stoke in his own way.

Ive gotta admit that if it wasnt for Geoff and Pauls enthusiasm to chase waves at Robe my only true wavesailing would be my once a year trip to Cactus, the few trips down the mid and far each winter, or Robe at Easter.

For me its all about the adventure, travelling, scoring a good sail, and cracking a beer after. Sure photos or video would be nice but id rather be on the water than sitting on the beach.

And of course you are right Scotty - WA gets awsome conditions compared to here. No dispute on that one.

Keep up the reports Geoff - nothing like hearing about the 800km trips without a sail while we're sailing 10 mins from home. Good to hear you scored

If we are only alowed to report 8 foot margies sails then looks like the forum will be a pretty quiet place.

I suppose our 1 foot Day street session SUP sailing wouldnt meet any of the new forum standards - oh well it was fun!! - and young Kurt was getting some great little waves.

Heaven help mention 8 sails in 9 days at sellicks and the mid - there were waves on two days

Keep the reports coming I say - its good to hear crew are getting on the water - even if its not 8 foot margies - in the end its all relative to where we live and what we have to sail.

Sh!T yeah !!!!!!!!

1 ft Middleton easily equals 9 ft triple mast high Margret's or better.

Best SA kept secret, let this one get out and we will have Euros every where.

Post It!!!!!!!

Ha, great thread..



Easter 2010 fat robe....

Scotty, is that photo of you? What was that you said earlier about blowing your own trumpet?

By the looks of the photo you arent having any fun cause its such a fat weak beachie.

Nice aerial btw...

wow
been off air for a bit.... its all been happening here ???!!!

looks like we all need a night down hindley st to work through those frustrations and anger.

merry christmas

I think we forget we sail because it is fun. After sitting on the side line last summer with my busted foot it makes you really appreciate every sail! Keep up the reports Geoff.

Hey nice feet..... Steve Auston, you have been rebuilt.

You should have made it down Sellicks tonight, loads of fun, nice wave and wind.

I got to share a wave with Kurt, we were trading cut backs all the way to the beach.
I loved it..... Still smiling.

Cheers for the beer Bert, thanks finished off the sail perfectly.

That's good you got a sail in. The seabreezes up our way haven't been working this week, must be the strong prevailing SE wind kills it. The late sail is tricky with a baby at home, the wife is always happy to hand him over when I get in. Merry Christmas everyone....
