****kk, sounds like i need to go to rps and pick up my 4/3 wetty
Hey Scully, sounds like your gunna need 2 wetsuits
I hit Rye this afternoon. About 7 sailors out and one kiter getting dragged into the bushes. A decent 25+ knots. The water down there was bloody freezing! Coldest salt water in Vic at the moment so get your best wetties on.
Great sail apart from having a bad back at the moment.
Rye was all good today
not much good for jumping tho as it was a onshore northly.. i broke a harness line today. why cant they make harness lines that dont break the crooks. i paid 70 bucks for em a da kine brand.. will be the last time i spend 70 dollars on some harness linesleaman you are a rich boy, your new windsurfing rig looks unreal mate all in red
looked like you had a 010 red acid and a 010 red ezzy, it looked prettty cool out on the wateryou look like a pro now dude. will try and take a pic for ya of you windsurfing your new rig next time
dont know if i can windsurf tomorrow 40+ is to much for me. i dont have a 4.0 at the moment. might be a camera man tomorrow

G, ezzy dont change the design of there sails much, you should of just bragged and said it's a 010, i would not of known, looks brand new.. and your board i dont think it has ever been used, looks like it is nice condition for a 05 model.. you are one lucky dude.. can ya find me a starboard code dude?? and a 05 ezzy like yours and i will be one happy dude
I noticed you were hardly jumping and went home real quick. going to be a windy week i hope you get better soon.. best cure for saw backs is lots of aspirin and rub heaps of goanna rub on ya back a hour before you windsurf..
Hey Flipper, did you get a small KA sail the other week? What did you end up with?
Whatever you got, I reckon you need something smaller at the moment!!
nar just ended up fixing me old sail up hey do Ka make a 3.0?? i might go and see if they have any for sale
Looking at the flag on the Grand Hotel from my work desk, I'd say the wind will be very inconsistent - but better in the water than at work!!!!
Lucky guys, spied this on the Rye Webcam today (thurs) while I am sitting in the office [}:)]
Perfect timing for that jump considering the cam takes a pic every 1 minute. Wonder who the sailor is and if they are on here ?
those dudes were on 4.0s there were a ton of windsurfers out today at rye and one poor little kiter all alone it looked like maui with all the windsurfers flying around today
Got an excellent afternoon sail at Mornington. My back is a lot better so was able to do very careful jumps. Windy enough for me to use a 4.7m powered up at 90kg.
I had a very pleasant session at Ricketts from about 1.00 to 3.00. 4.7 Kult was spot on for most of it, a bit underdone on occasions.
With just a hint of North in the Westerly ,Ricketts is fabulous. Really flat water on the inside and some nice little waves peeling along the reef.
It wasn't even that cold.
About 5 of us out to enjoy it while the rest of you kept the country running.
Very fun winter sail!!!
Hey Flip, KA do have a 3.3 Kaos for sale. I bought one recently for the next really big storm when it is too strong any of my bigger sails - eg like Big Sunday last September at the PiT, when my 4.4 Koncept was blown straight out of my hands. At the time I bought the 3.3 there were still some brand new 2006 models there at really good prices.
i wont go that small leman cause i am a heavy guy. i would only go down to a 4.5 i think. i can hold down my 5.4 in 30 knots, so a 4.5 would be ok for me..
