Did anyone else get hammered Sat arvo when that southerly came through, three of us were all on big gear and 40knts came from nowhere.

When I arrived it was still blowing gently from the West. By the time I'd opened all car doors it hit hard from the South. My 5.7 was looking big, my board rolled a couple times across the grass. I went out anyway for a quick, 50m blast, a few catapults and a swim back.

You know over the past 4 months I've used the 5.7 three times, and twice I was overpowered. I'm thinking I might need a 6.4 as a base sail, skip the 5.7 and get a 5. Seems to be only ever 15-20 or 30+ on the Coast.

it was a thing of beauty,

this season has been so good i've even entertained the idea of getting a 70lt wave board and a 4.7 to go with it.

i hear a rumour that currumbin was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah I noticed Justin. Currumbin Alley on Saturday for sure.

I have even managed to take Friday off to get all the house stuff done a light warm up sail in the afternoon.

hi Jamie,

like the look of the green still

i had a mate take his stink boat out at curumbin sat arvo, (not sure if he caused carnage or not but he is an ex-windsurfer) he said he followed a guy on a windsurfer through the break, struggling to keep up. he then jumped the same wave the windsurfer had jumped and when they were both in the air the guy on the windsurfer pulled a massive forward right in front of him.

he was still grinning on monday when he told me about it.
