Just be very carefull about speed sailing at the Angling Hall end. Apart from dodging all the other water users ,the water is getting very shallow at the far end (sth) For any speed sailing go off towards the pier,nice sand spit,very few other users and its a better angle for going fast. The last thing we want is some one to stuff up going fast,then they might enforce that 10kt speed limit. Yes it does apply to us ![]()
There seems to a good ground swell in regards to a club at inverloch.
I'll be in it . there wouldn't be a better way to spend a day . there should be a common link so all can stay in touch. clinics , lesson great stuff . I was down there at the sand bar when it was discussed. come one come all .
Once you have all things set in place, how about making a day of it and as a group come over this side of the bay for a day of flatwater blasting ![]()
Hi B3 - congratulations on your first post - may it be one of many. I would like to see this Forum as the common link for us Invy boarders and we need to work on that floating bar at the sandbar concept!!
. There are a few things that are being worked on in the background so when things come to light I will inform people.
OB64 - definite plan of mine for sometime to take a road trip down your way, so good excuse to get others involved. Will put it in the planner file.
I am planning to be there on Sunday. With the forecasted wind direction we may need to be sailing from near the pier but there is plenty of time for the forecast to change yet!
Hi everyone,
It's looking good for the weekend (and the first week of the challenge).
I haven't been able to get a wind monitor in place so I'll take an average between the peak gust readings @ Wonthaggi and Pound Creek.
Once you've clocked a time and got a photo...upload them to the forum or send them to me info@driftmedia.com.au.
Have fun and play nicely !!!!!
Mick
Well done with the web site,your,ve defiantly got to much time on your hands
Thanks Kato...the joys of being self employed!
If you've got any stuff you'd like me to include on the site, fling it to me.
See you out there!
Mick
Another great day at Inverloch. 20-25kts from the SW by 1pm. Was good to see so many people on the water. Although, seemed to be quite a bit of gear breakage from various people today...sails, booms and boards.
All by Pablo. Lots of smiles, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Except me because ejmack had a better GPS reading than me![]()

Give drift a bit of time to get the photos up but check them out at www.driftmedia.com.au/iwc
I can confirm that the sandbar likes feasting on fins....I hit it not once but three times at speed....all good tho'
ej..
we met briefly in the carpark...and i saw you shoot past at speed!
I was on the jp excite and np excess 5.9 combo.
Sounds like you guys had a great time yesterday, I was planing to join you but I thought the forcast looked like it was going to have to much west in it until late.
I ended up at ricketts South and had a bit of a wait until the wind kicked in.
Ejmack, did you get the Kode on the water?
Oldsalt, how are you liking the f2?
Hey Jman
Water starting with jelly fish sounds like fun. Third outing with the F2 105ltr. The morning was ordinary. The wind was 10 kts - 20 kts so I was sinking in the 10 kts and going from 0 - 22 kts in the 20kts. Spent a lot of time in the water. The afternoon was better. 20 - 25 kts. Set up the 5.5(was tempted to put up the 4.7) and got some good runs in. Need some expert help from you and Bondy as the board is still wanting to turn up wind on me. I think it is part stance and mast position and harness line length and position. Look froward to catching the Three Amigoes at Inverloch sometime soon
OldSalty - I'm certainly no expert but I have found if I hook in too early my board/s also heads upwind. Much more noticable on smaller boards. Leave the hooking in until a bit later maybe. Also, tilting the rig forward and pulling in on the back leg helps to force the nose downwind. Either way, you'll get use to it and it wont be a problem soon!
Hi All,
Updates to website for the Inverloch Windsurfing Club are online.
Got anything to add?????
