Yeah phil was meaning saturday to alain in that comment i did get it wrong still high is 8am on saturday. Northside run doesnt matter if its dead low tide its deep water.

Friday is dead low at bris bar at 13:40 can still launch at that time on northside and finish 1hr30 later and be enough water to the beaches to finish.

Yep northside across the bay is completely different water depths to the southern bay area.

See the map below the white area is 5m at dead low tide, lightest sky blue area is 2-5m of water the darker blue closer to land is 1-2m the darkest blue is 0-1m at low dead low tide. The grey is exposed land at low tide.

Notice the first map port of bris the southern side of it boat passage to boat ramp is where we finish so at low tide you cant cut corners and have to follow the little channel in.
North side of bris river mouth there u see grey as well but ive never seen land exposed maybe they dredge that area being the port entry more. But you paddle straight north in the channel a little bit anyway to line up redcliffe

Northern end Gold Coast going to do 2 Downwind runs Friday afternoon 2.30pm and 4.30pm
Sundale Bridge to Ephrian Island around 12klms

Great Trailer Supsurfers "STYLING"


Thanks for the fun Broadwater paddle you could see the potential, be as go as the Morton Bay to Brisbane Harbour run on it's day.

Averaging 5:26 min per k for the 10.45km run (56.51 minutes) got down to 4:39 min per k for 4k's between 11/16km/h

Tracey did a PB shaved of 15 minutes from her best time "STOKED"

Looking forward to the next run

We did some local ocean stuff as the swell hasnt kicked in.

If the swell jumps and the wind really kicks I have a crack there tomorrow

The ocean should be good tomorrow. I wanted to do an ocean run today but the wind was too South felt like SSW, No White Caps. So the Broadwater run was a better choice "Believe it or Not"

Just did port to clontarf 17.5km SSE 20-25knot wind. Started on dead low tide meant had to paddle straight side chop to clear the sand bar but once clear it lined it up dead straight. First 3rd of run average water to confused, then it got good then it good real good and caught bumps right into the finish line.

I reckon we started 1hr to early for good water depth and wind as it was light on to start. Gusting at 30knots when we finished.

Love moreton bay runs

STOKED for ya AndyR I was sitting on the fence I was keen to come up and join you but I thought I'd go up to the Broadwater to give it a go, Next time AndyR I'm in.
Hoping to get 2 ocean Downwind paddles in tomorrow after Low Tide the points should be firing at Low Tide so I wanna go surf first.

Yeah phill next time mate.
Next time its straight northerly we going to do a bribie island to nudgee run. 30+ km. Will organise car shuffle pick ups to limit the driving. Won't do it till we get a 30knot day but i reckon when we do it will be one epic northerly wind run.

Enjoy the surf in the morning ya frothing grommet!!

Are we saying shallow water wind swell runs are better than the ocean runs?

Moreton bay currently gusting at 30knots its a crime

I did the run after yours 3:00Pm there was 8 of us. There was this one section that went for like 3 k's and it was EPIC 10/10 all I did was stand on the tail and just surfed for bulk, bump after bump after bump BULK FUN, that 3 k reminded me of the Molokai run but that goes bump after bump after bump for like 14km.

the 6.5 ks from the seaway to the sailing club was non stop full on. barely had a chance for a drink from my camelpk even the shallower side towards the point where it was suggested the bumps would be less is where I surfed for ages. so many times I went to put the paddle and off we would go again.

the bay is longer no doubt , but with those winds today it was quality.

yeah the tail of my board got a good work out too


im hearing talk of ne wind runs firing the whole way. must check that out

Phil saturday is shaping up to be a big day on the bay everyOne will be heading out saturday but me as im working all weekend. Winds looking like it will be good and high tide in arvo will make Saturday an epic moreton bay day.

Im a chance of a friday lunch time run at this stage. Winds and tides looking just as good as saturday.
Talk later in the week.

Good to see you two giving the inclosed GC waters a wrap too. Hearing big things about it.

Had to work this day but all i could think about was tryng out the Broadwater run. Anyone have any videos of these runs?

Bloody water bubbles but at least gives idea of what it is like...

ive got to get some skin to recut again so im out for the weekend

Still a good vid. Down winder styling on the 18ft'er

nice vid supsurfers, I like the side angles, shows the heights better than top down, which makes everything look small...for the water drops try Rainex on the camera (buy at supercheap or repco), its pretty good. Nothing is perfect but I find it helps.

Thanks supsurfers that was great I feel even worse now for missing this. But great vid.

The Man Behind The Lens Supsurfers Another Great Footage Of A Fun Broadwater Run Everyone had BULK FUN. Hope This Fridays Is Just As Good, It's Addictive.

If Anybody want's To Have A Downwind Paddle On My Unlimited Low Pressure Board (The Glide Will Blow Ya Mind) Let Me Know & I'll Bring Up My 17'6'' SIC Bullet So can have Something To Paddle.

Next Time Supsurfs Brings Out The Camera We Should All Line Up & Catch The Same Runner. Same As How SIC Film A Maliko Run.

That new fanatic looks so much better in bumps than the old ones !
ANd the low pressure looks like its flying !
Looking forward to more footage form this run

the really good thing about the bay and broadie runs is people can learn really fast and the more advanced can fine tune.


because the bumps are so consistent. there is no variable oceans swells to deal with.






next time it blows up there im taking the f16 for a joyride.




ps. I still love ocean dw ing




pps. brissy looks like it on this Saturday too.


messenger has commenced


ppps. wheres the next place
