Russ, i can fit two boards, two masts, four sails and two booms in the old corolla. Room left to tie one other poor sod on the roof with their gear

That somebody with a new trailer is all sailed out from yesterday and now actually has to catch up on his real job.

Looks like it will be just me sailing with Pilchard at this stage. Fingers crossed the forecast comes true cause there are some great set ups down there so amping to sail somewhere new.

What are you saying about my Corolla Geoff. Its a classic piece of motoring history

The maps are driving me nuts. South Central Forecast makes it sound like Middleton could be on but the interactive maps dont show it being windy enough.

At least it looks like a sure bet down further.

Forecast is looking good. I'm amped Pilly On my way home now to pack and hit the road.

Rain rain go away come back another day ???????????you could be sitting in a pub yet ,next to a fire ..........have fun........

Thanks Pilly for the shots and sharing the waves. Was a good session, bloody sore on Sunday.

Yeah, it definitely wasnt epic HAAK but I still had a heap of great wave rides and some jumps when it was gusting through. In hindsight i should have left my 4.7 rigged up and swapped between that and my 4.2 as conditions dictated. Just before Pilly took the photos I was nearly blown away out the back by the squall on my 4.2.
