Wind forecast is vaguely 15 to 20 knots from the South, for Saturday afternoon. (Horrible for surfing - in my book, as opposed to 5 knots off shore, ruler edge waves, breaking nicely on all the points)....

Geelong & The Surf Coast Option - 3pm, Eastern Beach to Geelong Grammar School.

Melbourne & DJ's group - you should think about a Southerly Paddle on The Bay..... (hang on, someone said it's not a bay!)

If we do a Geelong run, preference is for 14 footers and above, perhaps 12'6.... 11'6 surf craft is pushing it.... (pun - pushing it... pushing water).

Vests and Leg Ropes....

I have a spare 14 footer.

Kristi says she's in, the Vortice is gathering too much dust and I can help with the turn board around.

I can pick you up at Grammar at 2:30pm DJ. Back at Eastern Beach before 3:00 for a 3:15 push off. Then you can head home from Grammar / "North Shore".

We might as well just lock that in. Even if only 12 knots, we will still sniff out some paddle power assisted runners.

What's the alternative? Adelaide v's West Coast on TV? I don't think so !

(PS - Bring rubber....)
