Not a bad turn out of locals today with the wind gusting to 37 kts at Low Head

Thanks for posting all that OMS!

It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which a day of MESS can look so organised in still shots.

And - whoever invented the SLOT BOX for windsurfers should be put down! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Hey, good one guys. Scored well..
Do you have a message group up there?

Good to know when local knowledge picks a forecast worth the drive.

We have a whatsapp group down here that works well.

Have you busted your favourite board?

Damien - only 2 of us seem to be able to get whatsapp to load (old phones), so no, we don't have a 'group', we rely on archaic txt and Seabreeze. We are old(school).

Paul - not the favourite, one of the equal second favourites...

Tapped a rock, and I mean only tapped - busted the embedded nut out of the box, and dropped the fin in the deep. At least with a US box, the plate would let go, the box remain intact, AND the fin would flap in the breeze without going to the bottom.

We would all like to sail ideal, rock free, constant wind, cross off, etc...and get handed a new board each season, but we don't. I just wish Board designers / builders would consider the imperfect for a change.
