going to Lake Cootharaba this weekend it's my first time and the wind is looking epic are any other people going.

What day are you looking at going up switch101 ?

I will be up there from friday-sunday any other good spots round that area for flat water sailing

With a good southerly forecast you couldn't get any better for flatwater sailing, if you are already at Lake C, why look further afield??

yeah, should be good anyone else going to be there this weekend

I'll probably be at neil st... lake cootharaba should be good tho...

cant wait!

maybe i'll see you there i will be on a 4.0m simmer or a 4.0m naish

what type of gear will you guys be out on?

Im going to be up there for sure (SC), may try and make it to the lake on sunday for a early session, where is the best place to launch from in a SE???

I'll be on either a 6.1 or a 5.4, both NP's.

But I probably wont be up at the lake.... will be further down the coast....

The best place to launch for a SE'r would probably be from just out the front of the sailing club or a little further around at a grassy triangle.... good place to rig up... thats where most the windsurfers will launch from.... boreen point camp ground will be ok but you will need to walk out a little further.

6.1 i think you might be a little overpowerd on a 6.1 does it have cams

nope no cams.... I'm not a cam user at all.... back in the day I was but not now

If the wind is about 20ish I might be out on my 6.1 but more likely my 5.4

I weigh low 90's so not the smallest guy out on the water...... my only board is 91ltrs so need either some strong wind or a big sail

ohh yeah the board i will be using is either an oldy wave board around 72L or a JP wave 84L

id be heading to currumbin on that weekend's forecast... or neill street as that loser mucksy recons.

he must be a big loser. the biggest kind.

isn't he going to gnarloo in a few weeks... who would go there? what a loser.

Dont ya hate when younger brothers just step in and spoil the positive vibe....

and yes we (we being the operative word for me and my BRO) will be a gnaraloo in a couple of weeks.... cant wait

until then assignment writing so I can get out on the water tomorrow!

where is Neil st exactly? I am not sure

Neill st is just off nicklin way, just north of caloundra river mouth....

It was ****e! Was there anything at lake cootharaba?

It sounds like red might have been the best choice today

yeah it was up and down but around miday it picked up again and stayed up pretty good

Heading down to GB in an hour or so, if its no good i will head to red for a sail, looking out my window now, cant say its looking inspiring. Would take the trip upto the lake, any wind graphs for that area???

i used to use tewantin graphs. not the most acurate but let's you now what the wind is doing

yeah i used the tewantin graphs to

This is what's wrong with the youth of today.

If Neil Pryde started making MK IV's again, I'd buy 5 of them and use them until the day I died.

Cams 4 Lyfe Man!

I have a couple of MK IV's 6.5's

Yeah but I arrived around 12:30 when the wind dropped out and everyone came in, derigged and went home! When I arrived it was blowing, everybody was out, it looked awesome!.... I even spoke to a guy before choosing what sail to rigg and he was omn a 5.3 and he was saying he was fully powered up!

Anyway rigged a 5.4, and by the time I got down to the water, the wind had disappeared and all but 1 guy had come in.... Waited around about an hour and a half and then decided to derigg by 3pm.....

Was disappointing......... ah well WA in a few weeks...

well that's windsurfing for ya
