35 knots from the southwest could be OK at Bell Buoy on Saturday. I will be there around midday .....probably.
Bell buoy seemed the best guess on Saturday for wavesailing and though the swell was small and messy it was definitely worth the trip . This is probably the only spot on the north coast that would have a rideable wave in these SW wind conditions. At times it was gusting through to 35 kts and at others almost glassy with a wind line about 300m out.
Jason and I sailed for around 2 hours and despite being both underpowered and overpowered at times scored a decent number of waves but also did a little swimming.
Nice riding Al, see if you can con Izaak and a few of his young gun mates out into the waves
nice one al,keen to get out now,got the wave board.now just need to learn how to to back and front loops.
wow nice one easty,yes got my FSW now James is looking into a wave board.But will never pass up a speed sesh for a wave sail at this point in time.but cant wait to get the wave board out on my race sail in a easterly wind could do a ripper 1hr.and then hit the waves with my wave sail.
Good to see you're going to give the waves a crack, you've got it on you doorstep, at your age you'll be looping in know time, trust me I'm 58 and still trying, wave sailing adds a new dimension but don't stop trying to hit the 40 knots, trust me I'm 58 and still trying
if any of you guys are looking for waveboards to get you in out there, i have a couple fairly modern ones in the shed going cheap...
get the gear and get the MOVES 1
We need the young guys to get into wave/freesailing so us old cods have some inspiration! TOO much speed and flat water makes us go limp!
cheers
