I had a great kite there with you early on and stuck around to take some photos. There were more but these are the better ones. (If you were there, let me know your sail colour I can pass them on to you in higher quality).

Great to see some good windsurfing!!!

Carlton turned it on for a full on expression session
The wind picked up just as we arrived then the swell just got bigger

11 of us out and we all voted Fos no.1 for a pretty awesome effort, you got out the back of some big sets. Jez might be faster but you rip the waves....sorry Jez
Jordon pulled out half way through the session with a nearly broken foot.
Wally did the walk of shame with a broken mast
Pete F reckons he spent more time under the water than on top, sound like me Pete, but ya just gotta toughen up.
Kazza in her usual style ripping on a 60L board
Brett ripped it till he changed down to a small sail..... will you ever learn, you had the same sail up as your light wieght son
Pussy Pollard came out of the closet and pulled off some big airs
but Veatzy pulled off the highest for the day
Rob nice airs and bbeeauutiful carve jibes on the beach
John Sem. stood on the beach so we had the coax him out then he cranked it found out later he's scared of sharks not the waves

All up bloody good fun

Great photos, looked like all were having a fantastic time. Up on the north coast we had plenty of wind but not so much swell. Nic and myself sailed Bell Buoy until Nic retired early with an injured neck. In the end it got too windy for my 4.5 so I called it a day after 3 hours of sailing. Unfortunately we both forgot to bring a camera.

Hope you enjoy the new board Rod

Looks like you wave guys and ladies had a blast, well done, next time I go for a wave with you.

Great photos everyone.

Can I also say, that as a total wave sailing NEWB I loved the punishment my KA sail took and appears to have damage at all..

Even when a wave was breaking and I bailed out. swam back and the Ezzy mast, KA sail and Chinook boom were all still intact.
The Exocet cross also took some punishment and survived really well.

Any sponsorship offers greatly accepted, please PM me via this site.

even though he don't believe in the new fangled interwebby thingy, great air Veitzy
