I thought up here we were only getting the tail end of it, especially as BOM said 15-20 BUT seabreeze only said 13-15 (maybe 18-20 at about 9:00pm).
Thus is didn't pack the car and told the missus she could work for 2 hrs after I finish.

Now it is 18-20 and waves etc

faaarrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I didn't get a wave but i had 3 hrs of fully powered up sailing on my new 7.5

just blasting around felt so good. i have missed it so much. hurting now tho

had about 16 -22 kts all arvo , with one blast just after i finished rigging where it blew about 25 kts so i had to wait that out.

Days like that come by so rarely. They're the memory makers.

Riding decent waves in consistent wind at a local spot with all your mates and skiving work

Bliss.

I knew I shouldn't have...

I looked at the forecast and there's 20-30 knots on thursday...

only trouble is I fly out to Broome at 6.00am for a bit of R&R...

Them's the breaks I guess

And thats not the only excuse I have.
When rolling up my 5m I noticed I put a hole in one of the panels
At least I got all winter to fix it and also fix my 4.5m
