Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

WV, Parkdale Yacht Club and SHQ Windsurfing Beginner Clinic #1 at Parkdale Yacht Club Sunday from 9:30am to 1pm.

Myself:
Friday night – Last daylight saving work night at Bonno if I'm lucky.

Saturday – maybe family stuff but will try for sail at Bonno in the morning if the forecast is correct and holds in. About lunchtime I plan to meet with soem of crew at Mordy Sailing Club for future windsurfing events.

Sunday – I am helping hosting and teaching the WV, Parkdale Yacht Club and SHQ Windsurfing Beginner Clinic #1 at Parkdale Yacht Club. Afterwards I hope to sail locally at Bonno or Mount Martha. If it's real good at Parkdale for bump jump then I will stay there for some short board fun.

With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Winds: West to northwesterly 5 to 10 knots increasing to 10 to 15 knots by midday. Wind becoming westerly 15 to 20 knots during the afternoon then tending west to southwesterly at 20 to 30 knots this evening. Seas: Below 0.5 metres increasing to 0.5 to 1 metres during the afternoon then increasing to 1 to 1.5 metres by early evening.

Please note; this is not a WV event (expect for the clinic at Parkdale Yacht Club) and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.

Wednesday afternoon/evening I was out at Bonbeach with another hald dozen other windsurfers. The wind was a little bit up and down for the 5m, but very enjoyable.
