cool vid dude, what music did you originally have? You will have to get a wave board this coming season and start getting into jumping mate...I'll take ya to pt Leo one day

Nice smooth tack there Kona.

Hey the sound track is pretty cool, what is the name and artist? Check your messages I sent you a PM.

dam, you found me video. it looked real cool with John Butler music. dam you werent meant to see it till i could find some music i am aloud to use. me brother was standing on the pier to get those close up vids

that was just a sound track i replaced it with from youtube music. there was not much there to choose from i dont even know the name of it. i will have a look up what it was called. i used john bulter music and ben harper at first for the video . and again youtube took it off. i am going to replace it again with some other ben harper music. if you want the video on yourself doing the cool jump and jibe download real player its free. then when you serach youtube vids a link will pop up on the video saying do you want to down load.

Not looking very promising for Sunday now, less than 15 knots around the middle of the day

So Kona, are you getting your wave board this season and get some red bull sponsorship?? seeing as you promote their product so much in these forums

Good job on the video Kona....but who's the dude in the nappy at the beginning?

You guys need to get a tripod though!

BOM forecast still looks OK (maybe not for Sunday) but Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday look the go. So the big question is who is going to skip work these days? I am up for it as I fly to Brazil for a month on Thursday for work and will not sail for over a month.

Looks pretty windy there now on the Rye webcam...

going down at about 2ish I think. Should be fun!

Plenty of wind just very gusty. some big ramps out the back.

Had a good morning sail off Mt. Eliza. Even got a little overpowered at times in the gusts. Great run, although least favourite tack. Must suck to work 9 to 5, with this wind staying until the weekend.

Hope the rest of you get a sail in.
