saturday will be perfect tide wise with low tide in the morning and the high tide in the arvo bit of a carry at low-tide but you can sail all the way in at high tide

you sail at the end of phillip street

I'm off to VP again, yesterday was sooo gooood. Been away for a month and great to come back to some good wind.
Cheers

it's still pretty windy down here on the gc, so you should have wind for a few more hours up there i'd guess?

What wind i went to Beachmere again today after the best sail EVER yesterday but it was total crap. Big waste of time should have stayed local apparently it was pretty good

that'll learnya

This little video should put a smile back on your face Darren

Great vid, looks a good spot.
Looks shallow, is it? Was this taken at high tide?
Thinking of a day trip sometime.
Cheers

Hi Greg. Most of the footage is in waist to chest deep water. Sandy bottom if you come off. That was mid-high tide... In coming tide. Not worth going there less than mid tide (long walk) and less than 20kts... As you may as well sail anywhere else in the bay. In a S-SE you can sail for many km's on each tack. Safe sailing even if you are out on your own. Bit of a drive but certainly worth it in the right conditions. Cheers

Nice vid shame you didn't get a bit more footage of when the waves got bigger and the wind got stronger. One of those times when your having to much fun to stuff around rather than sailing hey. I do the same when using the helmet cam on my motorbike. When the riding is at it's best the last thing you want to do is stuff around instead of doing what your there for.
Looking very forward to the next time that the conditions are similar on a Saturday when your back in town.

nice vid doodah

out of curiosity, what sail and with what mast did i use of yours that day at wello when i had a burn on your gear?

From memory 4.2 NP Fly2 (2011)... although could have also been a 4.8 Fly2. They both go on a X6 370 mast.... Long time no see

thanks mate. yes

will definitely catch up when i get back from hols

i bought a 4.2 fly 2012 and an x3 370 to go with it. haven't tried it yet. i'm hoping it feels as nice as yours on that wello day

Noice... You'll love it. With a 370 mast you might be able to start attemping double forwards too!

yeah beachemere is awesome on it's day. a real stunt ramp place. good jumping not much riding though. i was shredding some waves down at south west rocks in NSW it was awesome!
