Forecast saids Bell Buoy 20 to 30 knots on Friday

If the forecast holds Dad Tim and I will be at Bell Buoy at 11.00. Brett and Houston will be there at the same time. I think Relic has got a spare space if anyone's interested?
God bless and goodnight

This is worthy of another red thumb

The depleting Northern wave sailing crew welcome the Southern commute to Bell Buoy......Except for the one who calls himself "The Ant". He will need a graduation certificate 1 in excellence for forward looping signed by either G. Clark or Gem Hall in order to sail the pristine conditions the North has to offer

Ben and I will be coming up at around 12, old gear but should be fun

also , what is red thumbs for this topic?

Why?

Because its a bl@#dy Friday and most normal people are stuck at work


And also because Houston cant jump and his name was mentioned

I'm in but probably not til early afternoon. Looking forward to seeing the southerners up for a sail.

We're sending our 'B' team for this round

Send the "A" team......He'll still need the signed certificate to enter the car park though

I'll let the young fella know. He'll get onto Jem for the cert. No good trying the other bloke he's a bit dyslexic and thinks a barrel is a loop

I have to work, so I need PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of ANY claims made, if not then I can have every confidence that it is the usual load of ...

Damn! Accidentally hit the POST MY REPLY button before I could finish that sentence.

Yes, was a terrible sail up there for everyone last time I went. It took me a long time to recover from injuries and illness last year(boo hoo poor me) and it certainly put me in a bad head space. Actually I think I'm sailing worse now than I did about 10 years ago. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I remember how crap I felt driving away from Bell Buoy last time You can always rely on your mates to support, pick you up and then tear you back down into little pieces again.

So, as you are presuming I'm in the A team, does this mean I'm not allowed to come up on Friday? I was trying to organise to be part of the B team!

Here is an extract from the Southern selection criteria and Rules:

A Team: Those southern sailors that would love to, but are unable to attend road trips due to the forecast falling on days Mon-Fri.
B Team: Those sailors that have flexibility to attend road trips during Mon-Fri.
C Team: Sailors having a road trip on a weekend.

Rule 1A: Under no circumstances should B team sailors make inflated claims without video evidence to back up the claim. Photos will not be accepted as proof.
Rule 2A: On demand, local sailors can request a signed certificate from Jem Hall or G Clark. Before either A or B team sailors can enter the carpark.
Rule 3A: Rule 2A does not apply on public holidays.
Rule 4A: Under no circumstances shall B team sailors ridicule A team sailors to make themselves feel better.
Rule 5A: A Backloop attempt will be classified as just an upwind f#@ked up jump unless landed and sailed away from.
Rule 6A: No rules apply for C team

Oh goody, I'm on the "A" team. You also forgot to put that the "A" team also includes representing Tassie in events outside of Tasmania.

I like the rules
Lucky i didn,t mention the Red Team

How depressing, I have just realised that -

- I have done about 1000+ upwind f#@ked up jumps over the past few years - according to Rule 5A
- I am on the C team - according to the definition
- I have been relegated to 'paper-pusher' - as noted in Rule 2A

At least no rules apply to me, since I am on the C team....... Hang on, does that include all of the above? And if no rules apply to me, does that mean that Rule 6A: No rules apply to C team, also doesn't apply to me?

Damn - I thought I had it all worked out too. You guys are messing with my head!

What RED team...?

Red Team - the embarrassed team
There's also the Licorice Allsort Team - rig of multiple colours and all sorts

Forecast has changed again
What you northern guys think.?
Looks windy down south now, dont know about swell though

GFN's. Yes forecast has dropped by 5 knots. Should still be good though. Every forecast of late and the past has been 6-10 knots over predicted, 25-30 knot forecast dropping to 20-25 will normally mean you'll need a 4.5 in the afternoon. The last 15-25 knot forecast last weekend and many times before brought on overpowered conditions on a 4.0m. We'll keep you updated on Thursday / Friday morning as to what the conditions are like

Proffitt training diaries 2 that's what I am talking about!
Freestylers first time in the waves landing perfect backies and forwards with their 720 shakas on the wave face.
Deadacated wave sailors double forwardiing everywhere the bar has risen

Wind and swell looks a bit sus in the south its BB for me Friday for sure

Magicseaweed is telling me that Bellbuoy tomorrow is going to be a HOOT - ALL day.

I spoke with Rafa last night who is planning to be there in the afternoon tomorrow, and is keen to see just how good you lot are. I told him that you are LEGENDS! Don't make a liar of me...

Have a BLAST you guys!

Double forwards are hard on masts....have a look!

Not so hard on the mast if your body breaks first though.

Always look on the bright side - 'Wow, my body is broken in 6 places...but thank goodness my mast is still in one piece!'

Im going to go and get my hair wet. I will be trying to keep my board on the water and not break anything.

I'm aiming to leave Hobart round 6:30. If anyone wants to share a ride let me know
