i need red bull to make me happy. it gives me wings

nice forcasting mr seabreeze, real nice

Cheer up Kona lad - nobody likes to see a bloke down. A crate of Red Bull is on its way courtesy of HM Queen II on her birthday - full fat sugar version to ensure a maximum hit. She likes a drop herself in Buck House - mixed with 4 parts rum, 2 parts tequila and a pot of VB. Where do we have wind tomorrow - look into your Crystal Ball and enlighten us all?

thank you my friend that drink sounds awesome dude. i will try and stay cheerfull and have a look out the window for any sign of wind.

I got a half decent 15-17 knots at about 4pm yesterday at Rye. Shame sunset is so early now. Was only gusting occassionally up to 15 before then, so I was alone most of the time with only one kiter there about 2pm.

Good luck all with today's wind.

Looking a lot more promising today, I can see a kiter out already at Rye.

Looks like you guys have all the wind over your side of the bay. Its only about 12 - 13 knots here atm

Righto, I am going to load the car and head down to Rye...Looking at the Trigger Rye web cam:

Just got back from Pt Henry. Wind was around 15 knots while I sailed. As I packed up, a front came through and it was blowing 18 - 20 knots. How typical!!!

On a different note - I took a friend who had never sailed before and she was using my Go. Looks like there may be a new windsurfing convert lol.

just back from rye boys had a great sail 15-20 knots, west wind made for some great side shore jumps. i am one happy windsurfer been a while since i got me trusty old jp out.

Leman where were ya bro it was awesome windsurfing rye once the rain passed today

wind addict was there

and a few other lads

me buddy Zack was there as well

its slack tho boys should of been more windsurfers out.

I saw some pretty dark clouds down your way OB, saw 27kts at point wilson at one stage - thought you and red would be having a blast.

wasn't bad at the top end of the bay either, got to willy beach around 2pm - the wind was around 15kts with an awesome angle straight off the beach. I had a 6.6, the sherminator rigged a 9m because his 6.5 is shagged.
It got pretty interesting when one of the rain bands came thru, well over 20kts with heavy rain that bloody stung.

I actually had a friend down with me who had never sailed before. Had her out on my Go with a small sail so I couldnt stay out as long as I would have liked. I was packing up just as the front came through. I reckon it averaged around 20 knots with a few big gusts coming through.

Red is away for a few days so he didnt sail but he did loan me his 5.8M Koncept just in case. Unfortunately when I was sailing, I needed something a little bigger so had my 6.5 Severne NCX rigged. Had some nice runs though.

who is the dude on the cam i never saw him today

Yeah Kona, it was pretty good at Rye, would of been around 20 knots for most of the arvo once that shower came through as I got going easily on my 5.0

Was good to get 3 hours on the water!

See you next w/e looks like it may be another Northerly / Rye sesh.

i like it windaddict, i like it. when i first checked it out the forcasts i thought i was dreaming. looks like a windy week but cold i have to get some gloves and a hood. thats going to be a icey week dude 13 degrees dam.

Where do you launch from at Rye? I've seen a couple of guys in the small Bayside carpark about 300m north of the Yacht Club/Pier - or do you go off the back beach?

back beach i wish dude that beach is pretty wild son. we sail the car park you are talking about. you should try it some time in a northly its as good as inverloch. you cant sail there in southlys thats why i join you dudes down at inverloch when the wind swings.

come over next weekend crowman

I decided to sail at Mornington since I was at Rye the previous day. As you know it can get annoying driving everywhere constantly.

It was actually quite good on my bigger gear until about 3:30pm when it picked up to 25knots but couldn't be bothered going home to get my other stuff. I sailed from 10am til 4:30pm. Buggered as all hell!

Normally I park, rig and launch from were you mention Croweman, just up from the pier. I'd be interested in another trip down there when the conditions are right!
