For those that arent too proud to ride a sup with a sail (as we know its not real wavesailing) - whose up for a sup sail at day street conditions could be good for some chest hi wave fun -
Maybe a game of "dodge the tourist on their pink boogie boards" in the shorebreak - maybe a cold ale afterwards - mmm beer

Id love to join you as i havent tried a rig on my Sup yet (Well, unless you include Jade's 2.0sqm kids rig), but its a bit far to drive.

Heaps of sweet places to SUP in Esperance and the scenery is unreal. Been having a quick surf session each morning and plan to do a heap over the next three days as looks like no wind till Tues.

Hope you all have a great New years and get a fun Sup Sail on Monday.

Cheers Zac - so much for the SUP - 4.5m and wave board in 0-35knt cross off head hi sets -Middleton was like a freakin oven though.
Was quite good fun and a heap of crew blasting, jumping, freestylin and smacking some lips.

Lotsa bikini clad swimmers around as well - but forgot the beer

The sail at the mid at 830 with rich bert and Jeff was a good blast as well.

Too windy for the gear I had packed - felt like a furnace on the beach!

I think the forecast Vs actual wind caught a few crew out - just goes to show you gotta pack gear for all possibilities in this place - and the BOM computer forecasts arent too good >12 hours in advance

No pies and pasties in the bakeries either due to the power shut down - what a let down

Maybe this saturday it will do it all again

Yeah had a blast at Browns from 4 to 6. Wind dropped off to 20knots with waste high. I guess for most thats only knee high

I was lucky to walk away after those 2 kite mares in the morning

She's on again this weekend as well, check the swell.

SUNDAY i reckon HAAK big westerly again, is it spring????
i'll touch base with you sunday morning old cock.
swell is meant to be on the make so arvo might be best for lumps

when did / is Ty go / going home?
is that an inner ear issue or a between the ear issue/ illness as you sail like a nutter Ty

lol
no quiet coasting around for you fella
