Tomorrow (Tues) looks like a decent?? southerly coming through in the afternoon so should be good at the Pond (Cremorne Lagoon) the river and maybe even enough for Clifton.
Wed looks like a possible session at Goats with a North-Easterly lets hope its as good as it was today.
Today 8 of us had another great session at Goats with a brisk 25 knotter out the back and plenty of wind on the waves which were a bit small but every now and again you scored a good one.

A few good shoulder high ones today. Powered off the beach with 5.3-5.7 sails and 80 litres boards. Jordan has started pushing to another level, nearly held a pushloop, slipping out of the straps on landing and he had a heap of forward attempts for the first time(he moved past Houston and the rest of them in about 15 minutes). Wont be long for this young bloke, just needs a day or two in good jumping conditions and he'll be killing it. It's awesome we have a junior in the state that can sail at this standard in the waves. I wont mention his wave riding skills, it will make you all feel very ill.

Who's them Buzzy? I take it you think he hasn't passed you yet or you would have replaced "them" with "us". Them can't comment whether he's actually ripping past you cos that could make you feel very ill........................and if you get very ill all of them will feel very very bad

Nice Christmas present from the Goat, 20knots, swell small but pretty nice for the most part but then buggered up later with the tide.
I took a few pics sorry I missed those that were out of the water and didn't do justice for some cos the swell was pretty crappy towards the end.
Some pics are a bit blurry
Most pics are in sequence so you can see the manoeuvre.

Jez I got one good section of you but way too blurry sorry. Relic you were late getting in so missed the good stuff sorry. Mathew you were chasing Santa early so missed you. Buzzy don't know what happened but camera jammed every time I tried to catch you sorry.

I'll post more up tomorrow.

All in all a pretty fun session with 14 sailors rutting the Goat on Christmas Eve

"YAWN".........what a dramatic reaction, what a wanka you've obviously been on drugs you never could hold your aggression it's time you took up anger management classes you bloody tosser how can you live with yourself why don't you just for once look at yourself in the mirror oh no you haven't got the guts because what you would see would even shock you it's reactions like that that give people the sh'ts what sought of comment is that "YAWN" think before you write crap like that you #$$%#$%$#$$$$$$$%%.

That sunfish was massive my first reaction was dolphin, then shark panic for 5 secs then maybe little whale then Mat the Frog (Mathew the Frenchman) said he thought it was a sun fish, I've never seen one before

As for the pics I was so close to the action I had to zoom out
