Depends on weather,,,,or not you live in Launceston or Hobart hermaphradite for me ,or 2.5 hour drive, Carlton is always an option on the way home blah blah

Shelly is by far the best wave of the two spots but I can't make the drive.

Need to stay in area for a night before or after sailing or it makes for a very long drive from Hobart harder than Low head plus it can fill up with surfers because the wave stays so clean .Will be firing today

Bugger! Rang you this morning. We were on our way but wouldn't commit without local advice. Settled for a sail at Boultons Beach. (Hermitage) Next time you call it were there.

Had a good SUP at Shelley about 2pm. Was nice and sheltered in the corner. Swell was a bit lumpy though. Didn't see any other windsurfers around.

WT#.. Nth. Shelley. Not Shelley Beach Owfulord. We got 2nd best today though. Just great having the blue water and mostly steady breeze all to ourselves. There's a good reason there are no shots....I was enjoying it too much. Got to love the East coast we should do it more.

Only bad Phone photos from Shelley today. Great testing conditions. My sail reminds me of one of Houston's.

I thoroughly enjoyed my sail at Goats on Saturday . Must be when you don't get much wave sailing in with epic conditions you don't get as fussy . Shelley looked pretty impressive though, think I may have been a bit too chicken for those size waves.
