Who is going.... and is there a wave gear category??

Theres all sorts of kit there, no set categories, no set guidelines, just a load of people going hell for leather at the radar gun

it all about having a bash.

March this year was my first. It blew its nuts off 25-30knts. Sailed 5.7m wave sail and my small wave board and had a fat time.

Its a good chance to put names to faces to all these online alter ego's.

im pretty keen

I think most or all of team SRM will be there!

Was that the sound of a gauntlet hitting the ground.

Think it will be a great day for the WA teams to all challene off as well.


Oh bugger you've got Mr Slow fu###ng fast boat.

Bring it on

Allways a great weekend

Struck the only piece of weed in Botany on Wed. First time in 2-3 years I've seen any weed in the Bay.
Do I need a weed fin?

Swap some Maduragh weed for green arrows - only 1 day in last 20 for green

Boondies

Is this a word unique to W.A ?

Being a refugee from Sydney the first time I heard it I didn't have a clue.

My other fav W.A word is midgies.

"The midgies were so bad I didn't notice the boondies and fell over"

Yes, I'm bored and I couldn't go sailing on the epic Friday as I was conscripted to work with my Dad.

CU at Cervantes

schweeet

Elmo or Hards if it is on I'll be there and looking to find out just how fast I am not.

Doesn't matter how fast you go

It's how big your smile is when you do it

Yep, Reg puts on a great event.
It's all about having a go. You will see all types of gear, not just the go fast stuff.
It's more of a social outing with some windsurfing as well.
You can be as competitive as you want to be.
Good night at the pub after as well.
Can't wait

That was the advertising line for Langtrees a few years ago I think?

Anyone else going up on Friday

Yep friday for me. Hope to have a wave sail Friday PM.

It's early days, but the forecast looks good!

Hey Chris,
Don't you know anything about predicting weather.
It will be lite wind crap
I have packed a 7.8 so that I won't have to use it.
I have not purchased any new gear so that should help
etc.

And Bender ditto the Friday PM

T

Yes, it seems the best way to guarantee wind is to kit yourself up for the light stuff. I have taken this approach for The Ledge - Lano this year and it looks like a few others have too. I figure that if we all actually wish for light air, the gods may finally produce the 35 knot day we've been waiting for all these years so we can all fang down the coast on wave boards and 4.2s.

holly s@#T green arrows all weekend!!!! looks like its going to be a tiring drive home sunday arvo


hows that for puting the mockers on it

Now I've got someone to blame for having to rig my 8.5

if your rigging the 8.5 then there's still enough wind!!!

It's not 40 knots but it doesn't look all bad:

IDW1113004
Kalbarri to Jurien Bay:
Friday until midnight: NE/SE winds 10/15 knots becoming S/SW 15/20 knots in the afternoon. Seas to 1.5m. Swell to 3.0m.
Saturday: S/SE winds 10/15 knots tending S/SW 15/20 knots in the afternoon. Seas 1.0m to 1.5m. Swell to 2.5m.
Sunday: S'ly winds 13/18 knots tending SW 18/23 knots in the afternoon.

As it not going to be that windy I'll just take my big gear

What a great weekend of catching up with the crew.

Friday,
The wind tempted it was hot so we chugged out on to smaller gear.
Huge thanks for Bender who made the call, "Watch Elmo stuff this gybe up"
Thanks mate, I needed that nice long swim just to amuse you smart buggers on shore.

Saturday
Bit more wind but still Big gear teritory7+ and 100+ boards
Thanks to Bender again for loaning me his &.4 which allowed me to redeam myself by chugging out and back twice without having to swim.

An even bigger thanks to Tim S from the SRM who loaned me his Hypersonic and large Severene sail. Even though the board sailing style absolutely got the better of me It provided one of the most priceless moments of the day.
Managed only 2 runs on it planing, whilst I had been doing this young Bender had been zipping past me.
On the shore Ben says he's going to pack up I ask what he's done expecting him to have murdered us out there much to my surprise I've finished up 1/2 a knot faster which I very diplomatically and subtly stuck the slipper in. To which Bender in true spirit of the GPS team challange responded "Fark that" threw the board back on the water, sailed it out the back and came charging in on a mission.
Upon finishing his run checked the GPS and started pumping the air he had blitzed me by 3 knots with a 21knot peak
The teams spirit lives on!!!

Another Big thanks goes to Chris A also of the SRM for the loan of his Tabou Manta, what a sweet setup only just got it onto plane but once there... Ssshhhhaaaawwwiiinnnngg! instant woody.



It was a great weekend, unfortunately for the first time up there the wind didn't really deliver but this didn't stop everyone working on their tans and hangovers.

see ya's at the next one

What can i say about the weekend.

First time i have got excited/punched the air about getting a max speed of 21knts.

Oh and for Snides and Dansy one word sums up the weekend.

GERMAN
