I got a new paddle, it works real good

Chris got some new sails and boards, then proceeded to bust himslef up.....

Yeh mate

I've got a whole qiver of blades now 3.7-5.3m, we just need some wind to really test them. I've now also got the problem of getting them off Vikki now as she's hooked after the long weekend at Beachport. There is something about getting 2km glassy flat runs on Lake Goerge to really get ya keen.


And only 5 weeks and three exams till we head west for a month!!! Yeh, not only for the windsurfing but to getting all the bloody exams out the way.


Hows yank land treating ya?

yeh rush, rode the new JP Quad 82L at seacliff in a gusty 20-30knots.

felt weird to start but got used to it and found it easier to handle then my old 70L.
Had a ball, if people are uming and aring, have a go on some at the onboard demo day at boggy coming soon.

They're diferent but will change your sailing.

Sounds good Marty - has Ty got his 92 Quad and Fletch how does the 99 single thruster look?

US has been good - I am over Hollywood - off to New york for 9 days tomorrow morning - had a ball in California - great place to visit and with the Aussie dollar soooo good its pretty blood y cheap.

a few observations - beaches are ordinary (except monterey / seaside where there was a good little wave in the bay - with an Otter relaxing in the surf)- Aussie beaches rule - No Pale ale - sick of Budweiser - - no vegemite and the coffe is crap - Santa Monica surf was like a 2 foot shore break at Moana - very ordinary - waters cold - beers cheap 17.99 for 30 cans

everything else has been f*****g awesome.

Catch you in a fortnight for a sail - I am so hanging out for a Sail and SUP - been looking for a Methane paddle at US prices but no ones had one yet!!!!

CAtch ya

hey russ, haven't you found coopers australian ale over there, they had it up in canada, red with a kangaroo on it. was so much better than drinking canadian trash.

Beeen searching - tried a few local brews from San Diego - they were good - will try 8 mile creek next week for a pale ale

You getting a new Quad or thruster this year- I reckon you deserve one - shore Heidi won't mind - you know ya won't to

doesn't that piss you off!

Looks like some seabreeze action for ya - nothing but the pre train breeze in the new york subway for me

Hope its windy in a weeks time cause I am tonguing for a sail!!!!

Marty I sailed with Vicki of the spit she was going fantastic and followed me for a few runs right along the sand bar as well she was going along really well, Just put a bigger fin in for her next time and she will be flying,

Hi Jimbob

We had Vikki out at Bower road on the weekend where she was flying once again. She's finally hooked, the weekend down at Lake George was a blast for her, I can see some more trips down your way happening over summer, i'll let you know when we're coming so we can all catch up again.

Marty

Russ, we have had some great fun days sailing so far (the water is starting to finally warm up).

Marty's new Blades are the way to go...AWSOME!! We are still waiting on a 4.7 though! I can't wait to hopefully use the 3.7 in Gero next month!! Can't wait!!
I have upgraded my board so I now have an Evo for sail if you want something new!!????

See ya soon!

Vicki if only you were using a fly2!! Then you would be going 10 times faster!! I'm planning on using my new 3.6 in gero so let's hope it's windy!!!!

You guys will have a great time in Gero. First trip I have missed in years, a little pissed.

Below is a report from Tim.

OCT.- is shaping up as one of the best starts to the season in Geraldton in a long while. Back to back high pressure systems in the first week generated good wind, with the second system also delivering pumping swell. Sunset was all time with minimal crowds and happy faces all round.

After the Boardseeker Mag review rating of the new JP single thrusters a 99l might be my next choice Vicki - or a nude thruster

If I got on an 80 l board after a month of eating food in the USA it wouldn't move

Everything is double serve, deep fried and medium is our large.

Must say I just had tea at the 8 mile creek restaurant in New York (couple of fellas from Whyalla I think aussie theme but not OI OI OI - best feed in 5 weeks - aussie rack of lamb was fckn awesome) - first Pale ale (x6) in 5 weeks - my god that beer is the best beer in the world. Riding the subway at night after several beers is a different experience though.

The kids ordered sausage rolls, meat pies and pavlovas - its weird what you miss when your away - unfortunately Vegemite on toast wasn't on the menu.

Hey Rus when do you get back and will you still have any holidays and a leave pass up your sleeve ?

Russ the wind and waves have been so **** your going to need atlesst a 120 to even get plaining. Having new gear sitting in the shed collecting dust is just killing me. Can't wait for sunsets by the look of those photos!!! Awesome Zubby.

Hope its good and the new gear gets wet.

Looking forward to 24 hours of travel (not) (Had to escort Katie to the Taylor swift NBC concert at 530 this morning - live on NBC morning show - so much screaming - very stoked daughter though - might get to see Michael Frente and spearhead tomorrow night)

New york is awesome fun - but windsurfings funner!!!!

Looks windy again on the seaford cam and can't see a sail - where are ya dudes I want to see some windsurfing.

I can highly recommend Brooklyn Brewery Indian Pale ale - with 6.9% alcohol per stubby and as tasty as hell you gotta be a little careful how many ya have - Go the Rangers - Ice hockey in madison square gardens tonight - now that was fun

Try Grimaldis for a Pizza in Brooklyn as well - real good!!

Haven't had a bad pizza since I've been in the US - they make them on hot rock and have the best base pastry - Most aus pizzas are sh!te compared to these

When I was in Manhattan, I had a great pizza from some tiny shop serving from a hole in a wall - cost $1.

But in 10 days in the US I never had a decent cup of coffee. You hanging out for a decent coffee Russell?

^^^ Haven't had a good coffee since San Francisco 2 weeks ago Richard - coffee shop in Union Square

All coffee is pre brewed and pretty ordinary - but the pizza is good

Looks like the new gear will be hitting the water today - graphs look good for the mid - hope its delayed 24 hors and we get a sail Sunday arvo after we get home - if I can be bothered that is
