Well the stars aligned today with a good size swell and a wind that played ball for the best lunch time sail I've ever had.
Supping was the way to go in the morning with Fluro and geared for knots wacking out some heavy top to bottom carves and some paddle style.
If it wasn't for damos work related board pickups north of creek road he would of been frothing just like Simon billings,Fluro and me,sorry.
7 turns on one wave is unheard-of great 2 hours till arms fell off. Occasionally a metre and a half wave coming trough awsome.
Sorry.
Cremorne bar goes off !!! Every 7.5 years great day.
Sorry.

Yep, funny how every 10 years has become every 7.5 or was it 4 or 5...... now its once or twice a year!
Well scored.....and thanks for the call

P.S from all accounts Applepoobear snaked and dropped in on Timmy (south park character and local windsurfer) on three separate waves. They were Timmy's only 3 waves. How nasty!

Small chance in the morning, fingers crossed.

Nice work,
wish i had hung around,

Fluro Appleman and Simon you're the best mates anyone could wish for, while you were getting these booorring 6 turn peerfeect rides on patheetic 2m waves we were home waiting for just a very very short illusive phone call.............................at least I got one wave at the end of your session...............thanks ...................but as our preacher would say "YA MUST FARGIV MA SUN"............................

Yes a great day I had a 2 hr sup play at Lauderdale Pt that was nicely sheltered from the wind with only a few out
then a bit a blast on the river in a southerly on the slalom gear. Good fun doing the double.

...and don't let it go unnoticed that Steve recorded an amazing 2 sec av speed of 38.5 knots at Marion Bay lagoon today!

The last photo shows how windy it was getting, that,s about when the Sups were swapped for wind powered wave slashing machines!!

And the award for the biggest kook of the year goes to non other than me. What was I thinking, or not thinking to sail outer Ralph's Bay for 2 hours whilst Cremorne sandbar was turning it on. After finishing sailing and seeing Jeza's post on WhatsApp suggesting to check out Cremorne I went into melt down. Despite 2 hours of blasting the subsequent reports on what I missed has left me severely traumatised. I will be seeking counselling to get me over this .

Then the phone call could have had a domino effect and we'd all be sitting here frothing instead of green with envy

Sorry Cracker Jack I ran from supping to rig as the 25 knot southerly come in suddenly but that was in the forecast to end the most varied and best 6 days in decade;

Fri: 25 knots NE good fun swell at goats
Sat: late 30 knots but first strong southerly in weeks
Sun:howling 20/30 knots but very steady Gust free West/NW
At head to 1/2 mast Carlton jump city
Mon: first very windy westerly since Xmas
35knots good ramps
Tues: all day howling SW (30 knots)good chop on high tide for jumping
Wed: big , windy ,sunny(25/30 knots)but settie three is a crowd waves at the C bar
All this action after a very sunny 4 weeks with only one or two days above 20knots , makes for epic feeling conditions ,memories and sailboarding fun , let's hope for a repeat at Easter or sooner

Fluro is so smug about keeping Cremorne to himself he makes a double post just to rub it in

I was trying to keep dorans mon/tues quiet by not naming it as the best chop hop place in the south arm area seriously more fun per second per meter than the beach breaks;eg
The constant threat of a bullet gust slamming you at 30 knots while watching damo and buzzy spin loop at 1m off a piece of chop in a life endangering soup of bacteria and sharp oysters
Gets the adrenal glans working
Shut eyes shut mouth spin like hell
Next time ma
PS;
Could have traded it all for a crack at 12/15 foot BOL but didn't have the balls
