Its rare QLD gets 6 or 7 days of green arrows and all time southerly to south East wind 20kn or more for so many days in a row.
Wow!

Looks great Perth weather but your swell is better

I can think of a worse holiday than setting up camp at that little beach at Port of Brisbane and doing 2 paddles a day for a week straight. Cant believe you guys have kept that paddle such a good secret. Cant imagine anywhere in Oz getting much better than that. If I was into racing, I'd be lobbying whoever is in charge of the QLD and AUS titles and doing that run with a few days waiting period and you'd have a race to rival the King of the Cut... Or better still, get another Non Event style race hapenning there...

Ok that's enough!

I guess i have to work sometime hahaha

Thats a pretty big wrap!
Ur not the only one to say such big things about our bay runs.
Beauty of brisbane moreton bay is almost all wind directions we have a run that can be done thats minimum 8km stretching to 28km.

I reckon a bay race that finishes some where at or just past green island would be perfect. warm down leisure bumps to the port boat ramp.

there is the option of lengthening the run starting at vic point


honking bumps . different depths of water . choose your favourite type of bump.

I rode my f16 yesterday and the more bunched and steeper and winder it got the better.

we get bits that are good but that run was something else. I cant speak of wa but doubt anything better in qld

ill be doing a line closer to wellington point tomorrow



ps wind looks good on the goldie- good day by usual standards, but we are waiting and resting for tomorrows bay run

Yeah lacey i reckon if it was a race maybe a vic point to manly harbour it would have to be. No way would they ever give a permit to finish a race on a weekend at the port boat ramp. Unless we had deeeep pockets.
The warm down part is often good lets everyone catch up and have a chat for last km or so crusing in.

Otherside of port (mouth of bris river) to redcliffe on a more straight SSe or southerly run is full on bumps from start to finish right to the beach and dead straight. My favourite but thats only to stir nick up.

I cant say anything about other runs in aus but the bay is straight wind behind back the whole way with no lulls with very little swell in effect its pretty much perfect. I reckon much like melbourne. Very different to open ocean down winders.

Was planning on a rest day today, but ended up doing a short run in the arvo.
Frothing for my first bay dw run tomorrow :-)

Well that was mad.
Best ive ever done.

Yep, that was pretty damn awesome today!

Yeah I am with you lacey, that would have to be the cleanest run I have ever done, up there with one of the best for me for sure.

Ali you are a machine on a 23 wide ace and killing it.

There was a few handy paddlers in Brisbane over the week ! here are a few pics.

Awesome.. It's great to see more and more people realizing that DWing is where it's at..

We love DWing up here DJ but usually in small groups or by yourself. A lot of people cant handle the open ocean or getting in and out thru the break.
Brisbane let us get a whole new crew out for some awesome runs. Short n long. Myself, Matty Nottage n Ben Tardrew rckon we got some runs that lasted well over 60 secs.
So probably a lot like your bay...

Solo is best. That way when you tell everyone how good it was its like a fishing tail. The size of the drops and the length of the runners were thiiiiiis biiiiiig

Dorries thats some long runners. I long the day I got the skills to be surfing bumps that long

my f 16 absolutely loved the shorter meaner and steepest bumps I could find.

a few of us took the more direct shallower line then the first day where we were directed to the channel.


that's was the gold. seemingly never ending bump rides.

all I had to do was dodge the weed

Dale very kindly gave me some of his footage to make a quick edit of one of the runs he did on the 17'10 NSP DC....what a board, and Dale is an awesome paddler. Turn it up LOUD and enjoy.

Forget what you hear about big boards not fitting into the bumps. I found on both days that once you get going on the big boards, you get to link the big bumps and ride straight over the top of the little ones in between.
I've had a go of Alain's 17'10 NSP. A bit wider than Dale's and I reckon it'd be perfect for you guys for Moreton Bay! Alain won't need much convincing to come up and do that run once he gets back home so hit him up for a go!

You guys are clearly showing that big boards are just as good as anything in the bay stuff. The key seems
To be coming to the end of a runner and the length holding that speed to paddle like you say over and onto the next run.

Actually dale, shieldsy and myself where all trading bumps for a fair while but we got edited out.

Didnt want any riff raff in there

Hahaha Lacey this is true. Dale gave me this footage from his first run, and is getting the last days footage up to me this weekend. Don't hold your breath to have a starring role in the that one either, you, Ali and shieldsy were too far in front !!i

Looking like saturday is going to be really windy with big swell.
So the bay is looking the goods and the tides are on side
