Forecast vs Reality, so far they are way off target but that is winter for you.

Actually Monday afternoon wasn't too bad, but Crikey it was cold with the wind chill, oh and the fact that I was only wearing a 2mm Neo top! Doh!

Foiling practice .... hmmmm. Don't really think you missed muh.

I love WA definition of cold . Spend some time in northern Europe in winter to know true cold .
its toasty worm in my 5/3 steamer throughout the winter here.
I managed to get 3 sessions in so many days, amazing for middle of winter.

Working awAy has given me some fantastic kiting opurtunity's.I used to be on a 1 on 1 off mine roster and lived the kiting dream on my week off . Summertime I was kiting everyday on R and R.This autumn/winter I have geting some great light wind sessions on my zypher /sector set up on every week off.
Practicing gybing techniques is be really fun and 3 hour sessions too.
Now I work 2 on 1 off so the zypher/ sector set up is priceless for getting those days in when need them.
I'm kiting in as low as 10 knots and boosting massive in 15 on the easterlies !.

Try working in the Pilbra all summer in 50 degree heat and then anything under 23 degrees is cold!
I spent 2 years in the UK and my tolerance r to cold weather increased dramatically .It was vice versa when it came to heat!
