Time for a weekend wrap!
Sailed at Rye yesterday. I hadn't sailed there since the days of my trusty Bic Electric Rock. I really enjoyed it. Lots of people, variety in the water conditions (flattish on the inside/small waves further out)
- saw quite a few seabreezers out there.
Today was a bonus sail. (didnt expect 2 days in a row but wifey took kids to see Harry Plopper at the movies, so there was my hall pass) Had a great sail at Bonbeach.
... and to top it off, the weather was great and the wind was still there.
Victoria beautiful one day, perfect the next!
Who else sailed both days and where?
Any photo's?
I have been out windsurfing just about every weekend so far this winter. This winter has been great. I sailed rye today and yesterday. When I rocked up yestdy it looked like the good old days when ya would see about 30 windsurfers out every weekend in winter at rye. There were like only 2 kiteboys out but I think they went home early they looked abit scared seen all the windsurfers around them. They did not know what the fuss was about. Rye has been great but I am starting to miss my southwester beaches. g i wonder whats happend to the swester cold front?? all we get now is northlys, northlys an more northlys.
now all we need now is the wind to turn south for spring and summer and blow just as good
VICTORIA WINDY ONE DAY, WINDY THE NEXT
I too have sailed nearly every weekend for about the last 3 months. It has been one of the windiest and luckiest winters that I can ever remember. Without fail, we have had northerlies every week, and by some fluke they have *always* fallen on a weekend 
Only 6 weeks to go before spring starts!!! and soon the water temp is going to go in the upwards direction
I put together a short video of some of the action from Saturday....mostly early in the day and then later that afternoon.
Cheers guys!
Leman - No, wasn't me. Maybe Jodi from Whitecaps?
There's a fair bit of shake in the video. A cheap tripod just doesn't cut it (and the fact that I was anxious to get out there myself)...hopefully next time I'll have something better.
Great job Evan. You'll have to get a waterproof housing and bolt the thing to your helmet!!
yeah bondy, great weekend for it. I saw you on saturday sailing up near the pier end at rye (i have a carve and a green and black kaos). i went to rye on sunday as well and conned me wife and girls into coming to have a look by saying "nah its not cold at all". They didn't last to long but we had to take 2 cars so i got to "loose track of time". i payed for it when i got home , but hey, it's worth it!
Great vid EJ - looked like a blast. I managed to get down on Sunday arvo. Wind up and down - but good to get in the water and get the blood circulating again. Felt like somebody had battered me with a plank of wood this morning though...age related.
Good work ejmack - great to get some video footage and great to get some more weekend wind 
g those ka dudes were fast as. they made me want to get my trusty ka race sail out and join em in the speed runs. but it was abit late in the day so i kept sailing with my wavesail. wish i had me video camera with me that day so i could of got some shots of em.
Alas, it was not me :( Really wanted to get out there but had conflicting schedule last weekend.
Nice vid ejmack!
Guys (&gals) - am v keen to get out there as often as poss, sometimes its difficult to know where the majority of people are going, so if there are a few of you heading out - please give me a text or call. To get my number send me an email to wcphoto@hotmail.com with subject "mobile number" :)

Hey Ejmack
great to see your video skills and music sellection coming to the for. You did not catch the guy whizzing around on the Kode and ezzy set up he was scooting along The shots at the end of the day as the sun was coming down wher excellent
Thanks everyone....hopefully they improve with each one. I especially enjoy the editing part of it all. Good footage would really help.
Old Salty - shame I didn't get any of that Kode/Ezzy rider. I must have been doing something else while he was out. 
Jodi - curious to know who may have been taking the pictures if it wasn't you?
Bondi - the Go Pro's seem to do a good job mounted somewhere on the gear or rider. I guess the plus is I could then sail and film at the same time. Although only really from one perspective.
Hopefully more good wind this weekend (that's not jinx'in it right?)!
Where's looking good this weekend guys? Stamped 'freedom pass' for Sunday granted from Breadknife.
Hmm changed again....
Forecast for Saturday
Winds: North to northwesterly 20 to 25 knots easing to 15 to 20 knots during
the morning before increasing to 20 to 25 knots later in the day. Seas: 1 to
1.5 metres.
Forecast for Sunday
Winds: North to northwesterly 20 to 25 knots tending westerly at 20 to 25 knots
during the afternoon before easing to 15 to 20 knots at night. Seas: Mostly 1
to 1.5 metres.
Seems Sat might only be ok late in the day so probably not worth the trip to Rye. Sunday is looking better and more westerly. Who's heading that way on Sunday?
I'll be heading down on Sunday. Come and say hello - grey CR-V / Go Board / NP sail. Cheers.

Hmmm, maybe Mike Key? Will try and find out.
Where is everyone today?
Down Rye way at moment, wtg,wtg wtg, only 18-20 knots, supposed to build 20-30 later, will sail Rye front beach/pier.....
I,m in. Its about time I had another sail at Rye. The last sail there was when they ran the Blow wave comp there.
Ok, so I went to Rye - NO ONE there, not sure why, was v windy and seemed cross-off. Stayed till 1.30 (it seems from above posts I missed an arvo session?)
Then spotted some Kites, so not a complete wasted trip. Had multiple memory card problems and filled 2 GB card in no time, just as everyone was hitting the water) and raced home to download. 2GB is just 1/4 of what I am used to using. Sigh.
Downloaded pics and as it was still early (2.30) I dashed to Green Point to find only a handful of guys (and gals out). Missed most the the action, wind not as strong as Rye and seemed to drop out when I was there. Took a few pics, so will upload those in couple of days.
250km day!
Have fun tomorrow am working until 3.30-4ish, if it is good out around this time please feel free to text me ;)
Yeah I went out at Mornington because i didn't expect it to be that good. Ended up being a constant 20-25knots.
May go to Rye today if wind holds, but the forecast has dropped again from a day ago. Fingers crossed.
