Not asking for much Pottssy I guess it is reality when we are so far from any of these guys home location. Would be ****e to travel all this way and the bloody weather craps its pants (or not as the case may be)!!
Most of us who live here even struggle to get there when the timing is right. Still we have a couple of months to sit tight.
Anyone seen Tenet pegs like these in any Hardware or camping stores? I am thinking star pickets are the closet thing? They are about 80cm to 1 meter long. I need 3.
Hey guys - I need 2 people to help me for 3 days when this happens. You will be paid for your time. $140 per day - I need you for at least 3 days. Any new and up and coming Wavesailors would be good (or old bastards like me too) - hopefully get them on Video. Basically - you have to help me when needed and do a bit of leg work. Be responsible with equipment - don't go F*$k the gear - its all hire - the excess on insurance is pretty high. It would be great if you had a jet ski ticket as backup but not necessary. Its condition dependant but would need you Mid next week onwards. Be ready from the 23rd to 29th.
Potts I should be able to help 23rd to 26th but don't need to be paid. I'll be in Sydney 27th-28th but will be OK to help after that. I've got no licence for jet ski
Where have I been... Thank god I didn't miss the whole thing... John, does the budget stretch to a tow behind spa?? Does anybody know if ther are any rentals in tas...
Sadly John I don't think I will make it, as I have given up wave sailing for the high adrenaline thrills of strapping a gps to my nuts and playing on the hills hoist like the rest of the guys down here
Red Bull Storm Chase @rbstormchase Have to cancel for Tasmania mission. Forecast not stabilized, very disappointing. Think we can get better stuff down there if we wait #rbsc
Sorry - been chasing up everything. A meeting to discus weather was done yesterday evening. Its has been decided to postpone for a larger weather system in the coming week. This weekend still looks epic - I am still going down there now - and will be getting footage for Red Bull team. Tasmania is a very hard weather system to predict. In the end if the forecast doesn't show a force 10 system moving over our destination then explaining where 100k when you didn't meet the aggreed requirements would not be good.
Looks good this weekend. For what its worth I said it will come on - which is why they also said it would be good for me to get footage and weather maps of the days so they have back up for the next system when they call it even if its not force 10.

Pretty sure that I have got some of those stakes around the shop somewhere. They are always popular because of the muppet issues we have in Launceston.

More soon..
Thanks for the update, hope the southern ocean sends us some of the good stuff.
We had quite a bit of north westerly on this trip which is cross offshore on the reef so I could see the tops being ripped off the swell from the lagoon. Still its an unpredictable direction, on for two hours then off and no boats or jetskis to keep things safe so I stuck to the lagoon. The rental shed has a stack of old waveboards stacked in the rafters so at one time there was a strong wavesailing community there.
NOMADIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good to have you back in the state Pottssy I'll head up to Marrawah Friday morning come back Sunday night. I'm bloody unfit and getting over a back injury but it's nothing that a big wave at BOL can't fix Who else is coming over ....Izaak, Perks, Jordan, James, Brett & Jordon, Nick Taylor, Alplanet, Felix to name a few.
