New board niiiice what a you getting?

Hello Jezza, It's a mistral 82 litre surf board. I've been trying to pick it up for about 2 weeks now but it's not much use coming down until there is some good wind about. Let's face it I can't ride it in under about 20 knots anyway. I needed a board for the higher winds. I found my 90 litre board was just out of control in anything around that 30 knot range.

Now how can we believe you after your false Stanley forecast!

Iceman Thursday sounds like the day.

I will work on getting it off. Dorans road looks like the go. For a first time on a new board, up to you.

Cheers Russ

Russ, you should save taking time off for when theres an epic day at one of the hot spots in tassie not just crappy Dorans!

Friday looks good too now
I'm checking out Sandpits tomorrow...am I on my own

I might if dorans isn't any good hope too see you out there iceman

Lankstar, I reckon Dorans will be cranking for 3 days

Might be down that way in the next couple of days. Where's the best place to go wavesailing

I Only get home late Saturday.
Is there anything on Sunday?

I suspect not but I want to hear the spin doctors tale. :)

Looking good North and South for Sunday Fos (at this stage)

Woe woe woe. Today, Wednesday looks good but the bloke I'm buying the board off reckons he has to work (have you ever heard such a feeble excuse?). Tomorrow looks a bit tame so I'm going to wait until the weekend. Not sure which day yet I'll leave that up to the guru. Yes!!! the "Rock Magnet" will be in town. Hope to catch up with all.

Maybe i'll turn up at random and surprise you in the near future....

I saw jez go in to the car park he was speeding, silly old boy.
God bless and goodnight

Kaleb and I had good session at Goats but in spite of him pulling off a good forward he still complained he didn't feel 100% and got a bit cold....he'll be in bed tomorrow.
I went for a spectacular back loop and managed to get about a foot out of the water and land on my arse....but I did try.
Got really smashed on a big closeout....I always manage to find those and ended up with a broken mast and ripped sail....but rerigged and went back out

Had some photos but can't upload, is it me or a problem with seabreeze

Jason if you're coming down and want to find some waves give me a ring 0417 577884
Swell might be getting too big, when it does it closes out but I'll be keen to give Sandpits another go

Good to hear that you guys had a good sail at goats Sorry to hear about the broken gear

Wild weather at Dorans this arvo, very gusty with massive chop, good fun heaps of people out!

Just had a look at Droughty Hill, recorded a gust of over 60kts late this arvo
