sutton's beach?

would you be interested in that pelican park place again? It had potential for awesome jumps out the back

hi haircut,

definately we will be going back to pelican park but this time round i reckon sutton's as it's been a long time since going there.

if the wind swings south though pelican park will be the go.

Be nice to have a meet south of the River for a change

well if we had the Sou-Westerly winds usually around at this time of year we would have been at wello.

next meet is planned for bribie then after that is hopefully wello then south of the river at Kirra for a wave meet.

vando you,ve got to look after your sponsors !!! and go to their demos

If you guys do end up at Clontarf, and it's blowing a SE, sail across to Sandgate and free drink break on Surf Connect! Wind looks good for Saturday. We got lessons all day at Sandgate from 8am so cant join you guys unfortunately. But have fun wherever you go!

Hey Justin, if you do goto Clontarf, what about a race over to Sandgate? Start from beach to beach, lay their gear at water's edge, and you fire the starting gun. Run down to water and sail off. Get to Sandgate beach, dump their gear, run up to get a number from us, run back to beach and sail back to Clontarf, first to cross line wins It's low tide midday on Saturday so they'll have a good 400m run at Sandgate each way lol. I'm happy to throw a few bottles of sparkies out, our support boat will also be at hand in case of emergency. Let me know if you wanna take the idea on! Sounds fun!

ummm... there are people from other states that support the club and also like to keep up. plus there are also people from other states that enjoy reading about the meets plus there are also people from other states that are interested in starting similar clubs and like to get a feel for the setup.

also, you promised you would only talk about waves

but after all of that a picture is worth a thounsand words

How often do forecast lives up to its promises tho :( But its ok, not too much - lessons, too much - I go n play! Yuppie!

Nothing official Justin, just a fun event. But I understand where you are coming from. Down the track perhaps we can run an ironman event - swim, run, wind, kite and (dinghie / paddle board) race?

Oh bugger easing off too 25/33 on Sunday better get the big gear out

haha vando,

i'll lend you my formula board.

Umm well 30/40 might be kinda outa my league, think 4.2 is my smallest sail (I'm less than 60kg) but its been well over 12 months since i've used my gear - haven't actually used this sail yet or the board for that matter

Will aim still to come down - might just watch again

well we didn't get the forecast 30-40 knots. in fact we got nowhere near it. however suttons is a great place to sail and have a party. the weather was warm, the sky blue and the wind almost there.

those that had big enough gear got some great runs with big swells out the back and consistent 15 knot winds. the rest of us with smaller gear went out regardless to muck around in the shorebreak and catch some waves.

also available was the loft sails 02 on demo which received lots of praise.

big thanks to Windsurfingsales for helping put the event on and to everyone that made the trek. winners of the gun sales gear were Lfish picking up the gun sail universal and base plate and haggar grabbing himself a gun sail mast bag.

Nice Pics Gesty
Another nice meet, great to catch up with our northern friends again.
Shame about the wind though.
