Any one think sellicks or boggies might blow today?? Its all starting to move on the graphs. Thinking of heading down for a look

Standing at sellicks - waters glassy 5knt puffs from all directions and it's 30+ knts at the wind recorder - not too promising at the moment here

Cheers Russ,

We'll I wont load the gear then, can you give us an update if it starts blowing.

Sounds like classic Sellicks.

Ended up sailing Kent reserve 6.3 and 112 skate - nothing too exciting but an hour or two of planing around a few jumps and catching plenty o weed on ya fin. Ya didn't miss much

You can get unlucky in Maui, two weeks and two sails is what I got.

Thursday/Friday and Sunday looks pretty good at the moment!

but if there is no wind you can sup or surf head high barrels on south side!! maui sh!ts all over adelaide!!!! this weekend does look pretty sweet, exept its gunna be freezing!

Chris, dont think you are gonna get much of an argument if you are comparing Maui to Adelaide, you cannot compare.

Adelaide is a great place to live and sail, we have consistant winds in Summer, get good wind and waves in winter if the planets allign, good waves if you are willing to travel, good living standard, jobs, low crime rates, I could go on - but I am pretty happy here.

Maui is the mecca for windsurfing, couldnt agree with you more, but try getting a decent job, try renting a house, health insurance (coz you will have to pay for it) - I would much rather visit than live, for now anyways....

And buy a really big house with lots of spare rooms so we can come and stay - we'll bring Tim Tams Pale Ale and vegemite

All I need is 1.5 million. Pretty keen to try and do atleast a month next time! Adelaide is cool but nothing compared to Maui!! Just need alot of coin! Everyone there who "has the life" has alot of money's!!

funny thing Chris- in the 14 days you were away, based on your reports and photos
if SA v maui going head to head the best sail by far was in SA last sunday??!!
I find maui in summer flat and frustrating....... diamond head's a lotta fun.

Yer but the only issue I have with SA is that we have no Taco Bell.......

and Coronas are waaaayyy cheaper over there! mmmmmm let me think 4/3 wettie and rain 16 degrees or boardies and 1mm top!!! know what i prefer!!!! hahahahaha

Mauritius is a good windsurf location as well!
