With the forecast looking promising, many fellow windsurfers headed to the shores in sydney and rigged up their smallest sails in what WAS a light breeze.... then behold the wrath of the summer southerly!!! - 30kts and the sea turning from calm to carnage... just what was ordered by us all considering the enduring heat from saturday and the unbearably hot night!

Thanks to my buddy Colin who jumped in the water for 2hrs there to get some most memorable shots using a 7D and water housing....

the front is only just hitting the mid north coast at 9pm
wild weather on this continent at present with so many contrasting events. cyclones floods bush fires a february to remember.
at least some body capitalises. go windsurfers go hard.

Nice photos
Wanda was gusting to 40 knots, so windy that big Jason was on a 4.2 and Craig was on a 3.6. Most of the guys overpowered on 4.2's

Thanks to colinseye for the great pics, thought I was going to land on him a few times, must be a fisheye lens maybe as he looked alot closer in real life.
Great to see most of the northside crew out, hasn't been a good southerly for ages, just need more swell next time for makaha to work.
Great shot of Brett about to depart on a big fwd, must have been the wave of the day.

It was a fisheye... 13mm to be exact, so you really had to be ontop of him to get the close shots... he had a blast, and so did everyone else I'm sure....
