yeah, how was it... was planning of going up there but my plans were destroyed when I got told last minute that I have to move out of my apartment in a couple of weeks... spend the weekend house hunting instead...

I read that as great waves... light wind...

i had to drive up after work, went over stockton bridge, no white caps which isn't a good sign, so saved the rest of the day and turned around and went home, herd it was windy in the morning and the surf was big as expected, but in true westerly fashion it was gusty and died early arfternoon, it's a shame, it was reading 20 to 30 all morning from Nobby's signal station which is always a good sign for more wind up that way..

i can tell you how it was.... CRAP... i sat there for about two hours on sat hoping to see some good windsurfing... A gust would come and about 10 of you would charge out and get right to the impact zone.. then the gust would die and 10 of you would get smashed.. the few that did make it out the back did well.. although i am a kiter i used to windsurf and i can appreciate what you do.. there was one guy on a green board and sail?? he was out the back right as the wind dropped on Saturday.. he wins all prizes.. awsome.. untill he crashed on a massive floater and the copped about 50 waves on the head.. saw a nice shark there on sunday too.. beware of the brown water..

noice one milker, I take it you were the loan kiter on saturday. I was hoping to see some radical action kite stunts, unfortunately only saw said kiter dragged down the beach in the shorey. At least the majority of the sailors were making it out to the impact zone. I recon they did well in the testing conditions. Something about glass houses eh?
Quick question, why on a beach that must be 200km long, di you feel the need to launch right in the middle of where the boys were running a comp???
Dont want to start a stupid slanging match, but a bit of consideration people.

waist high surf and high 20s wind, well powered on a 4.8 and 68ltr

as I said... light wind...

seems like it turned out to be the same as last year or was it the year before that... seriously the organisor should consider changing the date ;-(

MA, i know someone you could have borrowed a '08' goya wave from, well most of it's still yours...

Agreed

Did anyone end up sailing Toowoon Bay today?

Krusty, a few got out, a few got caught in a rip, and I believe only one person got smashed onto the rocks and destroyed his board and shredded his luff tube.

Unfortunately that 1 person was me.

That was not me on that peter lynn,, i was in the silver hilux just parked south of your cars.. and i came down specifically to watch you guys.. i was not having a dig at windsurfers i love what you guys do and i tried for years to get the hang of it but struggled. I also was sympathizing with you guys and i think you did damn well considering the conditions.. we have had months of those die in the ass conditions here and i have been caught out a few times swimming my gear back.. so when its cross off like that i dont go out.. so sorry mr plod if you took me the wrong way.. i would have been stoked if it was 35 knts and good waves then i would have got to see what i came to see..
