Myself:

Sunday – If not enough wind then maybe some spring cleaning (sails and baords;).

Can you take your GoPro with you? Share some of the height!

As they say in the classics - "pics or it didn't happen" :P

I never saw anyone sailing at Green Point unless it's north, SW is ok to sail at Hampton Beach (just 500m south), but can be a tricky shore break. Had a look this arvo at Dendy Street Brighton (just a tad north of GP), was nice and flat to get out and I nearly rigged, but the wind was all over the place with all the fronts.

Great day Saturday at Inverloch. 5m weather for the whole morning. Pretty lumpy though which was a lot of fun!

I was somewhat underpowered on a 5.4m race thingy sail on a narrow ironing board thingy...

It's a strange feeling trying to hook in and realising that the harness hook is actually under water (85kg on a 63l board with a race thingy sail that weighs a ton)

On the plus side, I planed out of my fastest duck gybe ever and made 8 360s in the afternoon when I changed to proper gear...
