Im working on it . It turns great for a big girl , way better than i thought . Im just getting used to flat water and flipping the sail earlier ,Bad habit of flare jibing for safety in rough water from where i came from.

Hey Jayson and Mike, follow Sunderland Drive to where it hits the esplanade at Banksia Beach and there's a park and a boat ramp just to the South of that T intersection.

I was on Falcon 106/ Warp 7. Was perfect for the gusts. Locals were on 8.6 and big boards. It's a westerly so just make sure you have a floaty board, what ever sail you choose will be right at some point...
The locals give a great safety briefing. PM Imax, he will surely be around

Tides might be getting a bit late on the weekend for the sandbank to show , unless you like riding when the sharks come out . You could get an hour in .
Might be better giving Sandstone Point a go during the day. Or if you like it rough , Bongaree.
