If we are talking the weekend, then there's a small chance I could get down to Hardies. Otherwise its just Lucky Bay or Peli Pt.
I'll throw in the gear in case some of these fronts push through in the next few days.
Cheers,
Chris
I hope you guys know something I don't, I will be very happy to see you at Hardies going very fast...... but unless you are thinking of being towed.....![]()
Crab liker inlet for tomorrow anybody.
? TonyC, you want me to pick you up? Can fit your gear in, no worries. Think Porka's already down there.
Thanks for the offer Mineral. Having got the new 120ltr board I think I'll head to Lucky Bay tomorrow about 9.30-10am and get as much TOW and distance as I can on the 7.5m, then change down to the 6.2m and see how it goes (in 20knts+) in early/mid afternoon. Given the weather forecast probably best not to test my luck on the big board straight up in 25knts mid afternoon (hope I didn't put the mocka on it
). Don't want to wreck the board just yet - probably a bit more fragile than my ability should have got
.
Guys, have a good run down at Hardies
. I certainly can't promise anything, but if I can get the board set up comfortably I will see what distance and 1 hr I can do.
Friday/ Weekend Easterly
Last chance for the month?
Could improve alphas if the wind comes in?
Can lend big 7.4(inc mast) /6.6 if needed
or how about a bbq if it doesnt. electric ones down here

Porka, did you record a session today, or just go for a blast?
I cant remember if you had your GPS or not
Mineral![]()
Yeah I had the GPS. My numbers are up on the challenge site.
Nothing spectacular, but Pinna's are on the board for May!
Bring on the wind!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done guys for keeping us in the hunt.
Sorry I didnt join you in the slog.![]()
Anyone available during the week?
Thats fine - I m the one who should feel bad - I joined a team and havent made the effort to catch up with you all. But when the wind is up somehow the pleasure of sailing in my favorite spots always overruled what I "should" have done.
Just realised I had better make sure the GPS is charged (just in case) ![]()
G'Day crew, have a bush trip this week, so hopefully if we get any squashed air, its after this Thursday[}:)] No water or kit out the back where I am heading![]()
Have to be in Grab Cruncher territory over weekend coming. Step Grandsons 1st Birthday![]()
Will take trailer with full kit just in case.![]()
Fingers crossed,
touch wood
the wind gods have punished us all enough for Benders new board/boards![]()
and we get some screaming fronts from now on in![]()
I might have a go tomorrow morning and Friday arvo if it happens.
I'm also thinking about trying a potential spot I spied on Google Earth on Saturday. It's a couple of hours south. Anyone keen?

Oh yeh and where would that be?
Well Bender,
This was really intended for the Pinna's crew... but you may already know more about it than I do...
I'm not going to spill the beans incase the guys who pointed me in its direction are trying to keep it secret.
The wind direction isn't looking all that great anyway... It will probably be a pointless adventure. Expensive adventure at $1.8/L WTF!
Cheers
So in a
I will probably head to Lbay if it has some N in it. If it has sw or ssw Pt w is good. more w is just gusty as. Won't be out till 3+ but text if you get out and i will try to back up.
Well done Porka and Hardpole on getting out yesterday.![]()
We know that el capitan is out of action tomorrow. Doesn't look great for a southern trip.![]()
If it happens anybody want to meet at Lbay or?
I would like to get some distance in and hit alpha, Nmile and if the wind is consistent get an hour in.
Am going Soufffffff, leaving early in morning, can only play to midday ![]()
Got back mid morning, intended to knock off at 1 and head down then
bloody work went on and on and on. Thus the reason for early morning shift![]()
Tonyc and Pugwash, not a bad write up on the loft blade combined with a board I haven't heard about. Regardless of board, sounds like the blade performed well.![]()
