YAY

Nice work Tassie

Wow how did that happen!

Well done team!!

Being in hobart over the weekend. I was travelling back and forwards over this bridge. Both Sat/Sun it was a solid 40knots, square to the bridge, dead flat and looked awesome. Is this allready a place you sail down Hobart or? is it a no go?

The water either side of the causway is very shallow and full of weed. It also has a few logs and old piles in it. Definatly not sailable

Well done guys, I haven't helped much but looking forward to trying out my new board when it arrives.

I have always wondered how safe it could be, the water is so mercy Gets sooooo windy up there and always dead flat.

I reckon Houston is the man to try that spot

Have had many a look at that spot and further up around the corner, but the run is not that long, it is very shallow, with weed and swans and not often that windy. Las tweekend was exceptionally windy, so may have lloked a bit better than it often is!! Well spotted though, it does look good.

Yeah well Jez a log or two wouldn't stop me.......but the weed??... maybe Veatzy could help you out with that

Ken lives up that way and he's been sailing there for years but it's further up the river, plenty a wind, but I doubt any good for speed, too much chop

WELL DONE TEAM
The Northern side of the causeway is riddled with logs etc. The southern side is the go but shallow, and there is no way in hell you would stand on the bottom. Really silty like quicksand and sticks like septic. Probably be at the bottom of the 'nice places to sail list'. However, Ken continually states that we are wasting a 45+ knot location, he may be right, or not.

There may be great wind, and there maybe a clean track with no trees etc in the way.

But the Idea of standing in that black tar like muck that covers the bottom of the river up that way makes me cringe.

Its good for sea run trout,
but not long run windsurf.
