These were the days of hero's blasting wildly into the unknown!

48.9 Kts 2 seconds in 2006!!

I miss those days.

This may not be the same day, but it's close.

There definitely was sand dunes even back then, but less of them than now.

Speaking of which....

The latest Windguru looks like a blast from the past as well. I have not seen one like this for a very long time. Of course it might just be one of those illusions that fades away as it gets closer........

I better get back in the Gym!

Our scheduled brown pants day for Perth tomorrow is fading back to green and 35 knots. Looks like two good fronts coming. I hope someone gets to ride it. But alas I am tied up with something else. Good luck in Vic. Wish I could fly over for it. Might be epic.

Tomorrow's (Monday) front is no good at Sandy Point. Peak wind coincides with High tide. But it looks almost perfect for Mallacoota so thats where I am heading.

Next Friday through Monday looks iffy now for Sandy, but all the models disagree. They all agree that Mallacoota will again be far better so I might have to stay there for that session as well.

At least we are seeing possibilities in the forecasts which have been notably absent for quite a long time.
