Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?
Myself:
Saturday: I will be dropping in to the SHQ Garage Sale some time during the day and hoping to get sail locally if the wind gets up.

swan river, was lucky to get their 1st proper seabreeze to reach river yesterday.
I hired that funny Starboard Atom.
also saw some RSX's (and lots of other dinghies) racing in world sailing thing in freemantle.
Had a great afternoon Sunday sail at Bonno with some of the crew. Was one of the best sails for a while. Bring on more days like that.
Great Sail at Inverloch, took a while for the wind to build but after a while a 7.2 was Ideal.
Hey pedro e
Your missus makes great muffins, you were killing it out there, great arvo sail,
got a bit nervous planing in 43cm of water with a 42cm fin. Glad I pulled the pin when I did, a bit sore with my hands red raw.
Cheers Lozza
Had a good sail down at Balnarring! What a spot - first time there!
There were <10 kites and one other windsurfer who turned up just as I was leaving... Perfect wind ~15-20 knots, clean water, long runs - will go again soon.
Hoping to get down to Invo / Area 45 this Sunday!
No worries Lozza - good to meet you!
Re the muffins - I make them, she brews me my beer! (really! - how good is that!)
Yes, it was a bit nerve wracking wondering about finding the banks as the tide raced out. I jumped off a couple of times to test the depth and it was actually deeper than it looked.
