all these photos were taken by jason and some are recent while speed ones are around a couple of weeks.
enjoy......

place?? where abouts in tassie???? i have to go back there next summer. i have to windsurf tassie

this is in port sorell-or shearwater (tas) my home spot for both the speed and other pics...... it's around a 20min drive from devonport.the speed runs over 650m long on low tide and the wave ones are on a high tide.but the waves happen when is easterly winds and the speed run best from sw to nw winds.my dad and dave have don over 41 knots with other hovering around 35 up.

the line on this map is the speed run following the sand bar showing the run to get on to it to.

Great photos Junior but what's the black rubber things they are wearing

It's been a while since I saw surf coming in there like that - back when I was your age Izaak we used to get our one-designs out in stuff like that, used to get a good swell once or twice a year there.

hey easty if i havent asked you before why not join the tassie speed seakers on gps team challenge but that if you want to.

Gday izaak,
I might be in Wynyard visiting the inlaws in January for a couple of weeks. Might bring one board and rig, looks like some good spots for speed down there, sailed Georgetown and Marrawah back in the 90s. Would like to try out some of your nice flat water spots this time.
Would you bet on floaty board or speedy board for January??
Phil

Hi Izaac, it's not really my cup of tea, but if there were some decent flat water spots close by (I'm in Hobart) I'd probably get into it.

ok fair enough.

sailpilot,
i would sugest that any thing could happen so if you had some thing around 90-100 lt or mabe a little less ? it would be fine most wind around january is around 15-20 knots but maybe the odd day of 25 knots every now and again so if you could check some forcasts before you go that might give you an idea.

Hey Easty,
I gather you really haven't had that cup of tea yet - one cup and you'll be hooked
the lack of flatwater hasn't stopped sailpilot or me from posting some rather mediocre scores.

Yeah I've had a few sips - weeks at Sandy Point and also a few goes on Izaac's run - gotta admit flying over glassy water is a good feeling

Izaak, I was down there in Jan/Feb this year for a week, stayed at Seven Mile. Do you get any good runs near the causeway going into Sorell, or just stick to the spot you have shown.?
Causeway looked a great spot, but only saw one chap out on the section closest to Hobart away from bird santuary section the whole time I was there. posted a photo of the one lad out. Easty answered but nobody knew who it was.

Hey Mineral, the photos Izaac posted are from the North of the state, where real men drink Boags.

If, Port Sorell = Boags, then Sorell = Cascade
