Four days in a row for me now and my 50 year old body is starting to feel it,especially my legs.

Have quite a large blister or cut from a rock on my left foot which I am going to bandage and tape up before another day on the water.

The forecast for Perth for the next week is more seabreezes. Best season ever possibly.

Conditions allowing--not sure windsurfing is a sport you want to be doing for more than 3-4 days in a row.

Wonder what's the record of consecutive days sailing?

About 8 off the water!

14 days in a row, Scarborough, 4.2-5.7, January/Feb 1991

This year in George Lake sailed 11 out of 12 days, 10 in a row, and all very intense. One day was so sore and tired I got out for a break and fell asleep in the car until someone woke me up and it was time to go. But I am over 60, I'm sure if you're younger you can keep going forever.

13 days in a row , Scarborough through the week and Lancelin on the weekend , Jan 1989 , can never forget that season

Very inspirational George and an impressive effort!

From now on, no more excuses for me not to do another 'few runs' before my body gives up. Besides, I'm "only" 45

1991 ... Columbia River Gorge, USA ... 30 days straight... never sailed anything bigger then a 4.7. Most days on a 3.5 or 4.2 ... but I was 21.
2005 ... Lancelin, 10 days 4.2 to 5.7 .... 10 days and good size waves... went sightseeing on day 11 because I had no gear left.

1987.
Maui Hawaii.
37 days straight at Sprecks and Kanaha with a mate. Old gear and old school but so much fun. Glass wave boards, MD and Santosha.
Wave sails, 5.4, 4.7, 4.3 and 4.2. NP and Gaastra. Living where ever, eating crap, drinking in Lahaina, chillin' in Paia etc.
Best time of my life.

The 2008 or 2009 season, 14 days at Greenhead, all 25kn plus and day 10 or 11 was 38kn solid no gusts no lulls just a nuclear blast for 5hrs.
I sat out the last two days voluntarily, only did 12 days.

The next week was similar enough and I did my shoulder

Peter you'll remember me from 97/98, we sailed nearly every day in december till halfway through January except for a couple of very hot days around xmas, that's by far my best go and the fittest and lightest I have ever been because of it. Oh and you were nearly as fast

Laterly, this year I got 6 days straight at Cliffhead beach and then another 6 at Lake Indoon ( ) with a day in between dragging the house from one to the other, loving WA.

1986 Grade 12 - 360 days in a row (I'm factoring 5 days I might have been sick)

Do you still reckon that?

November /December were good but...what happened?

Hopefully some breeze kicks back in for the L2L next weekend!

^^^ I am not saying anything

Oh stuff it - yes. Bring ya small stuff mate.

Think a few participants on the windsurf course this weekend, will be a little disappointed with the projected sea breeze forecast breeze profile, as well.

1997 was the year l started sailing remember buying my first board & sail from 2nd wind l practiced down at melville waters from mid November to end of feb nearly every day weekdays after work 90 days straight l guess.a lot of those days had no wind stilled rigged & just played around.l had the wind bug real bad towards the end l felt l was a above average novice .

Don't worry about the wind for L2L - my 4 weeks leave is over on 14 Jan then I have to fly out for 4 weeks work - guaranteed windy from then on.

Similar to me at LG..I'm a bit younger but yes I think I wore out rather than got fitter..

I remember sailing 23 days in a row in Perth in the mid-80's, must have been 83-84 because there was daylight saving. I also remember that about three of those days we only went out to keep our run going.

Laurie delete this thread, PM33 killed January and I can't take it anymore


arrgghhhhh
