Whos doing WA this year? I'll be starting the drive on boxing day for about 8 weeks. Would be good to catch up with any other victorians making it over.

Any tips on what i should take and spots to stop at? i have a 5.4 4.7 4.2 74L twin and 86 kode and i weigh 75kgs. Will i need a wettie?

down around margs i usually used a 2mm short arm wetsuit. if you go there take spare masts!
if geraldton is cranking you might also need a 3.7

Your timing looks better than mine Joel. Wind looks **** all next week. Looks like its spitting trough after trough down the WA coast till this system clears out. I'm heading over tuesday.

No actually I am flying home that week gotta work, but I was going to fly back on the Fri to race it on Sat but I could only get a 135ltr board... bit too big I think!
Might plan it better next year and race it.. You doing it? Spotty & James are staying for it

Wally, Phil is going on Tues too. Looks crap for the rest of the week

Im leaving sunday and am planning on getting to esperance on tuesday and staying there for 2 nights, before heading up to gero. But no wind geraldton doesnt sound that appealing. Joel if you end up going to esperance instead id probably be keen to stay there instead of heading north

OK well James & Spotty are planning on spending a few days there this week so they might stay if it's sick..

I think Scotty Mckercher & Matty Holder and all that crew are going to go to Esperance
