Looking good for a wavesail somewhere down here this weekend. Be it carlton, park seven mile or sandpits. Depending one wind direction and swell size.
Brett, veitz, jordon and simon have allready booked into the looping clinic Anthony will be running.
So those who have the gps blues, come along.
cheers

I might actually pull my finger out and head out tomorrow arvo. Got the work under control so won't feel guilty about leaving it. Sounds a bit all over the place though with 4o knot gusts.

sounds like a good idea Sir geared4knots - lets hope the swell picks up. As of this morning it has backed right off (pretty lacklustre chest high sets at south goats) with it to continue to drop with only a SW windswell for tomoro (which might get lost in amongst 30knots) . Sunday has a new chunky groundswell that should see Carlton with some good sets. Im still trying to mount my Navman in car GPS to my boom to see how fast I really go. (BTW is km/h the same as the "nots" term used ?) if so look out speed records !

If we had nice warm water & I was 30 years younger I could almost do that, looks so easy.

There is swell, but the wind not filled in yet. Looks south west/west so Park end of carlton may be the go.
Russ i think someone wants your 6.2 ( waiting for them to look at it).

I'll head down a bit later. Looking at designer bathroom sinks first, it shuts a 12pm. Thinks it's going to turn a bit more NW this arvo.....better for the Carlton end of things.

Hello Andy, Not going today but will be down tomorrow. I'm picking up a new board and a bit too chicken to try it in the surf first up. I'm meeting Rus at Dorans about 9.30 to 10.00 to decide where to go. May see you there. By the way, you have replaced your downhaul haven't you?[}:)]
