Hey Buckles, should've come over to Portland this afternoon after work...small gear & big swell!
The swell in Warrnambool is also massive. However, the only sailboard I have left in my shed is my Wally so I'll be appreciating sailing on the current swell from the shore. Heading down later with a surfboard is not out of the question though.
I decided I wasn't progressing on my shortboard and believe I bit of more than I had time to practice chewing. It was just a poor choice of board for my skill level. I've decided now to re-refine my wally sailing skills for a bit then buy a shortboard thats a little more stable than the bombora was. :)
