Heavy traffic at Green point this afternoon lucky I was not at a round about or I would have had to give way?

There's three things that come to mind..

A PFD of some kind (bum-bag type will do).. A bright safety colour shirt (orange is best) and a drinking system (camelbak etc).

Your Allstar will be fine.

Most downwind planning is done in Facebook groups these days. It's all gone a bit tribal, with people sticking to small groups. Not like the old days when we'd regularly get up to 20 people on a downwind run and everyone was welcome.

Bring back the old dw days post
I'm cool either way so long as we post it somewhere, though there's that logistics.

Dunno Tardy I am paddling like mad to keep up with the bumps and they pass me by, DJ said paddle less and catch bumps and then I can't tell what to do, DWing is confusing but interesting.
