a very long long time ago.....

i used to windsurf during the winter months ....

the end.

Now i just Sup in the winter

i was thinking of hibernating next winter

I'm just storing energy up for summer

Probably need it to help with moving around the extra weight

Yeh have supped waymore this winter than wsurfed, and hey dats a good fing, coz wifout SUP, I'd be one of my own patients and dat would be embarrassment, one minute in my chair, then I run over to da couch, den back to da ferapists chair, den back on da couch, how embarrassment

I'm picturing you saying this with one of those stupid flat peaked caps skewed on your head and
Spastic like fingers pointing at ya crotch!

couldn't imagine you getting of the lounge once let alone doing it a lot to have a conversation with yourself

Patience dear julius,,,da winter months may seem to drag and fat us up,but be assured da beast will unleash with all its fury with short notice to deliver the day you wished your smallest sail was smaller and your one day winter storm will live with you till the day you meet DA Huey,,,,

What are you missing Victoria?

And was your SUP last week not just absolutely awesome?

snuck back there on sunday and scored again..
love the sup .....
seeing a lot of poleys becoming sea sweepers now...

i just want a good ol winter fang down at CW

Winter is very good yachting time.... moderate wind. With a good crew can do it single handed and can put other hand to good use, no not that ..... I mean holding a cold can or a hot lemon rum and spices drink when it is too cold! Well getting a bit too fat too!

I am trying to make sens of SUP... why would you do it with no waves??? it looks so uncomfortable? Would be better to go on a sea kayak, can take a fishing rod and a few drinks even rig a small sail Sup = waist of time??? Please explain.
It is a bit like Nordic ski... you put you skis and go on the flat, as soon as you find a small slope it becomes so unstable that it is an horrible feeling... why bother???

I'm going to get red thumbed for this but our winter has been great! If you don't mind c 11 degree water and often 30 - 40kts winds..Grr we have a whole 4 -5 days of 25kts + & I've got B bronchitis..grr[}:)]

I am stoked for you! make the most of it...
4 - 5 days of 30 to 40 knot winds would represent aprox
4 years worth of strong winds for here.....i think i have sailed my 5.5 3 times since xmas (only once well powered)
I have a 4.4 that is a 2006 model and it hasnt been used more than half a dozen times!
Not bad for a light weight in one of the worlds (apparently)Windiest cities

Be good if i could make a miraculous recovery..I can hardly talk or walk without coughing my lungs up ..grr going to Lord Howe Is in a few weeks so I was trying to build up my fitness.I better get well soon!
Off to the drs for antibiotics ( much as I hate the things). Oh well at least the other locals will be enjoying it!
Only the first day was 30 -40kts ( which for me is over the top anyway as my 3.3m would still be way too big) but definitely good 25 kts + for several more days.
I am looking forward to when the water warms up so you don't mind falling in! ( which I do regularly- another reason not to sail with a chest infection..
