Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?
Myself:
Saturday – After family duties hopefully at my local.

Not too bad at Rye before 11am. 2 hours of fairly consistent wind. Seemed to be picking up again as we left at around 12.
Hotham carveboarding for a few weeks. Will it improve my sailboarding?
Probably need to change to a Skwal for a proper balance workout.
I had great number of hours on my course racing kit at Bonno. A nice sunny day fanging around. Let's hope next Sunday is the same for the WV course racing clinic.
Had a great sail on the new Cheeky monkey at GP until the wind totally crapped out leaving me swimming nearly 2 kms off shore. Thany you very very much to the Taser sailors from Sandy who towed me in, saved me a super long, cold swim!!!!
The board was sweet as!!!!!!!!!
Yeah when it blows it's a great location and definately more of a gamble for you folks travelling from the city.
To lower the gamble you want a really cold day, and a forecast starting at 30knots. With those factors it will likely get more wind than the Frankston/Mt. Martha zone.
I think I left before you emjack, but from what I could see it didn't really come back up. Thank goodness.
