OK write about your wavesailing experiences here, we all wanna hear about them:

Last time I went out was about 2 weeks ago, sailed A*****, light to moderate winds, 2.5m swell, used my Delta Euphoria 100Litre wave board, with the biggest fin set up, and 6.3m Ezzy Wave SE. Had a couple of great waves, the large rig did get in the way twice with such a wide clew digging into white water, so had to be careful with my rig positioning. came off water buzzing though!!

Had a good day today, out at A*****, it was pretty crowded though.

Got a good half a dozen head high waves to myself, it was a bit of a mission trying to be the guy most upwind so having right of way though! Probably got around 20 waverides in total, for 3.5 hours sailing. Fully lit on a 5.0, 80litre Acid

Probably a good 15 poleys out, couple of kiters but most of them seemed to stay away due to the strong (20-25 knot) winds. Had one incident with a kiter where I was going out, this doona-flyer gybed right in front of me without looking and I only just avoided him, I'm not sure he understood the words I used but he might have figured out my general impression of him

At the end of the session I came in on a tiddler, gybed to go back out, and in came the set of the day, made it over the first wall of white but the second grabbed me, chewed me up and spat me out... it also dakked me so there I am, boardies around my ankles trying to pull up my pants with one hand and hang onto the mast tip with the other

Good day though

That's funny Some random dude waved at me so I waved back, didn't recognise you, your hat, or decrep's board...

Maybe I need glasses

Those wave wands are something else hey! I've had a go on a couple of them, such a sweet ride Also tried out decrep's speed board last weekend on the ocean, felt like it was on super-greased ball bearings! Man that thing is fast. I'm going to have to find the handbrake on the slapper and turn it off.

Yes he's been PM'd.

No it's not a secret, but no need to advertise to the Euro's and other's who act like inconsiderate aggressive ****ers, ask anyone about the place who's sailed it recently on a crowded day about what it's like? Some don't mind it, but when I go out to wavesail, it's about pleasure and relaxation, and that's not what I've got the last 3 or 4 times I've sailed it

I heard a rumour today that a certain Bunbury resident was seen shopping around for a upmarket sleeping bag to put his new baby sleep in

There is also another rumour that he is looking to build a new room onto his house for this new baby
