Just a quick heads up we are aiming for a meet at Suttons Beach, Redcliffe this coming saturday........

forecast has potential so will wait till thur/fri for more details.

all the usual fun in the sun and bbq madness is being planned as well as a forward loop session.

Well that's cheered me up.

always good to hear dave.

i'm thinking we go even if the forecast is only 15knots?????

what's the thoughts?

Party for scully?????

Sound good count me in, tried a few loops recently. Does it count if the board doesnt loop with you??

6 knots plus is good enough for me.

A goodbye to Scully? Why not - any excuse for a beer

Have you scared up any speed gear yet Scully? Stick to freestyle I say. Freestyle all over the Pit. he he. They love it down there.

Nah i changed my mind, to just stick to freestyle and mabey wavesailing. Big thx to mark for a 2min chat that answered heaps of me questions on speedsailing.

nice one lee, i reckon any atempt at a loop is a loop in my books.......

scully, we can have another bash before you go.

looks like saturday is gaining support. i don't need much wind either so i'm keen.

So, I'm not really up to speed on Windwanderers.
A socil club, I'm guessing ??
Is there a sub or membership required ?
I'm thinking about making the effort to come up and meet people on Saturday.
If there is wind, I'll probably be there.
What time are you thinking about ?

hmmm pretty keen. but if the winds light i dunno if i can be bothered to drive all the way to redcliffe, may just stay local.

Hi Ken,

Hi Swoosh, yeah, a few of us are keen also. if the forecast completely dies (ie. red arrows) then we'll push it back but at this stage if it's around 10-15 knots it's on.

i know aye lol, ive stocked up and spent most of my paycheck :P
i think theyre called Wine Cellars? Ive never been there before until i noticed this chalk board saying. 48 Coronas $70!!!

thanks for organising it, wind didn't really cooperate but it was good to catch up and share some snags.


thumbs up from me

Yet another new board swoosh?

Missed the snags yet again, left early doors this morning. Went straight to Queens beach which for a few hours this morning; was awesome, 100ltrs and a 5.4 a huge smile and a few nice ramps thrown in for good measure. That was until 1 0'clock and then nothing..... headed to sandgate around 3ish for a look, pretty windy there but to far for a lazy pom like me to drag my gear.

Should have had it at Sandgate Justin! We had solid 15-20kts most of the day!

yep.

got to sail it today, it does indeed sail as sweet as it looks. can't pick which is better at this stage, the skate or the joker.

when i upgraded to the joker from the jp fsw it was like a light switch, the joker was so much better in every way, there was no reason i would ever want to sail the FSW again. however with the skate and the joker, they are both awesome, just in a different way. I think the skate probably carves better then the joker? either way had no problems laying down consistent gybes today. Also the skate definately feels bigger then the joker, thou its only 1L difference in specs. the joker is easier to sail upwind, the skate you kinda have to force it a bit more, I think they both have similar upwind ability, its just a bit harder to get the skate upwind because the straps are very inboard. Also, the joker has double screws for all footstraps which is awesome. So far as I can tell, the skate only has single screws... and they twist quite annoyingly. Might have to take them off and see if there is a 2 screw option.

didn't jump it much, my boge joint has a crack in it, will replace it before tomorrow.

Hi Guys,

cheers for joining in. was a wierd day. wind gauge read 2 knots at one point.

still we hit the water on the freestyle gear.

even though the wind was, well, nowhere, the bbq and hanging out is always great. swoosh's new board was very nice also.

i got a photo of scully with his seabreeze prize.



funny thing with the wind. it was blowing when i arrived. i rigged and waited for a few others to show up. as everyone got there a storm came through and killed the wind.

and yes, i hate to say but as the last few were driving out of the carpark it kicked in again. dave was blasting around out the back! darren waited for it to die back a bit before heading out on his 9m again.

with winter approaching we'll start to look at places that work in westerlies etc. we also have the bribie meet on again in june.

looking to early may for the next meet.

cheers
JB

i took 3 photos at the meet.



v that's a nice sail in the photo.

Yeah, I looked at the chart, and it just switched off at 1pm. I figured some of the famous wind-vacuums had turned up.
