I got out from Manly and sailed between Wello and Wynum on 7.7 and SB117..

was great for 1 1/2hrs then, I heard a big crack and hit the water at full speed... - hanging onto half of my old carbon boom... tis no more now.. no other damage and got a bonus fitness workout of about 1/2 hr getting the gear nack to Manly..

Great session tho..

Now I just have to see if I can get away from work around lunch time today... Hmmm

If this is any indication it could be a killer season.

Good fun at Currumbin today. Bit gusty but a sail anyway. Good to get the cobwebs cleaned off the gear.

What was that!?
Thought I'd died and woken up in WA this afternoon!
Cannot remember the last time I had to swim for my gear cause the wind
And waves were blowing it away! Sunset session at Mooloolaba smashed me ,
Slalom board and race sail hardly the right tools of trade!
20-25 knots on the wind meter as the sun was setting!
Shark nets got me again, battens don't like 85kg at 25+ knots hitting them!
If this is a sign of things to come swapping slalom gear back to wave, would have been so much fun on small gear.

I was a couple of Ks from Wello. The guy in the sidecar has handlebars and controls. Not sure how he controlled the bike. A friend of mine reckons the guy is in a wheelchair, hence the cool setup.
