so sat looks the best on the weekend so far.

who's going to Wello?

Kanaha.

Why Sat? BoM has identical forecasts atm. Do you reckon we'll get 20kts?

marine services model has got slightly better wind on saturday at this stage.

looking through the other models like gfs (windguru) and ecmwf (seabreeze), gfs has saturday and ecm has sunday.

the area of wind seems to be a little bigger on saturday also and the marine models are saying bayside.

of course, everything can change and probably will.

i thought about kanaha also but it's a high tide in brisvegas so prob do kanaha again next brisbane low tide.

edit* kanaha has stuck in my mind....lol, how about little kanaha? or just kanaha?

did we not discuss at length at the movie night about jinxing the forecast justin!

Well its a Northerly but not a lot (20 = 15) so probably Wello. On the other hand Queens will get a bit more than Wello so maybe 20 = 18.
hmmmm... dredging in bumps at Queens v. cruising on a big board at Wello or flying in bumps at Queens v. attempting to commit freestyle at Wello.

Too hard. I will decide later

N - NE - Have you considered Pt Halloran?

Mmm. Saturday...

might try it out greg, i have a rule about carrying gear down concrete stairs though.

also last couple of northerlies haven't really filled in there. will see on the day i guess.

hi ian....

Mate that's a lot of tongue. Not sure whether to feel scared or not.

Don't mention ______ Gestalt, or your old KAs get ... something.

concrete stairs - what concrete stairs

i know this thread is about where to go sat i'm all for queens but has the forecast dropped a few kts maybe the strand townville would be ok, here is some concrete stairs and big fing rocks

this was our launch site at high tide(about 3-4m above the water) for the strand 10 years or more ago, getting out wasn't that hard comming in was a whole different storey, but way back then glass boards were still commonly used and a ding or 2 didn't matter much.

when i left in 2000 they had rebuilt the area with new walls and nice little beaches

cheers

Manly ?

...wello?

There's often a couple of extra knots in a northerly at Manly.

i guess wello for me.

NotWal,

Not often - but almost always extra wind at Wynnum Nth and Manly compared to Wello on a N'erly.

If it is Easterly then Wello seems to have that couple of extra knots.

Neil Pryde stickers put away for now. Currumbin was great :)

Wello was great, could of had an extra 5 knots, but still was good fun :D
i even tested out my 85 lt

wello was good, had a ball until my fin fell out .

12-18 knots on a 5.8m sail is a new experience for me.

panda, i'm keen for some waves. huey will keep us going for another week at least.

dave, where did you go mate? stephan and i had a mini freestyle session. well stephan was more frestyle than me but i did try some vulcans.


hey scully congrats mate,

to be sailing for only 6 weeks and then be able to waterstart, gybe and plane on your 85lt board is awesome!

ditto for trying vulcans

hey swoosh.

that's gold, i think we are at the same level

looks like the vulcan defies the laws of momentum lol

wello was the tits this arvo! my 'hook in rope' snapped on the boom so i had to finish a little early but that was perfect winds for my 6.8

Queens was great, lots of us out : )

I was out at Currumbin on my 5m.

Queen's Kanaha indeed did turn it on today. What a wonderful place it can be (especially when you've got 20kts!).

looks like 15 to me.

did the kiters try and kill any small children today at queens?

i ran over some lines at wello. thought about avoiding them and decided not to bother.
