I might be up for it, but was thinking 13th Beach. Don't want to do the Sandy Point drive as I have a meeting in Geelong in the evening (unless I can get out of it).

Phillip island sounds good, not nearly as far. but the forecast is for west to northwest will that work?

Sandy pt will be the place to be!!!
'The Gap' up at Warratah will be sweet in the morning..
Chances of it swinging SW enough for Right Point at this time of year are not likely..

I got stoodged on sat - drove to the island to sail Flynns and Swellnet lied!!

Got to work Wed otherwise i would be at sandy pt...

Zac,
Which beach are you going to do then?
Sandy Point
13th
Phillip Island
or Gunna?

I am considering sailing tomorrow, but will not do Sandy Point due to my meeting in Geelong.

Im not sure yet i think it will be too big for gunna. Sounds like sandy point will be the best but its a fair way to go to sail alone. I might decide in the morning, I'd probably be up for 13th but morning traffic to get there doesnt sound that good. Phillip Island sounds good if the wind swings.

I will ring you in the morning / or you call me and we can make a plan. If it is awesome at Sandy Point I might do it and just suffer the next day for driving 8 hours. Still trying to get out of this meeting in Geelong otherwise I would be so up for Warratah Bay.

Spot on. I had an awesome sail all alone at warratah for about 2.5 hours until it just died at about 1:30. cross-cross off 2-3ft with a couple of bigger ones and mostly sunny.
Can anyone please tell me how your supposed to do aerials? I got cained trying to figure it out in all sorts of new twisted positions.

hey zac if you want to work on aerials practise going late so there is a decent lip to project you. aim for the lip get the underside of the board up and turn your body back down the wave so you land out in front.

haha classic as Le,

Thanks al, Next time you guys are heading down give me a yell I think I need to watch closely how its done. I think im going to early, just need to get more good conditions to practice.

Tom I actually reckon it was almost worth the 8 hour drive.

Flipper i told you I was going down there yesterday? So where were you?

When did you look at 13th? It started working just before lunch. The high tide pushed about 3ft in, with a NW slight cross-off. Zero wind around the break, overpowered on a 5.2 out the back. About 5 people out. Not bad.

Earlier it was dead set ****e.

Looked at about 2pm (I think not 100% sure though). I think it was the thought of rain that stopped me and I should have just gone over earlier. I am hoping it will be windy enough for Sunday @ Sandy P!

Hey guys - at Robe Easter comp this year (won by one of your local boys) a few crew discussed a "state of Origin" Vic / SA wave expression session comp / social sail concept somewhere between Adelaide and Melbourne in the next 12 months - any tips on who to email from the Vic wave sailing - can't find a contact on the Wave sailing web page and I contact details I had don't seem to be getting through.

If you can PM me it would be good Cheers

Awesome idea! We are having a meeting on Wed to start planning next summer's events so lets get this happening.

I think we could have a 2 round format, 1 weekend at Robe SA, then 1 weekend at Sandy pt VIC?
