Next Wanderers meet is looking towards this coming weekend. although the forecasts are some way off and very volatile at the moment there is some possibility of a low forming around sunday. more info to follow and fingers crossed.

If you guys do end up at Clontarf, and it's blowing a SE, sail across to Sandgate and free drink break on Surf Connect! Wind looks good for Saturday. We got lessons all day at Sandgate from 8am so cant join you guys unfortunately. But have fun wherever you go! Hey Justin, if you do goto Clontarf, what about a race over to Sandgate? Start from beach to beach, lay their gear at water's edge, and you fire the starting gun. Run down to water and sail off. Get to Sandgate beach, dump their gear, run up to get a number from us, run back to beach and sail back to Clontarf, first to cross line wins It's low tide midday on Saturday so they'll have a good 400m run at Sandgate each way lol. I'm happy to throw a few bottles of sparkies out, our support boat will also be at hand in case of emergency. Let me know if you wanna take the idea on! Sounds fun!

How often do forecast lives up to its promises tho :( But its ok, not too much - lessons, too much - I go n play! Yuppie! Nothing official Justin, just a fun event. But I understand where you are coming from. Down the track perhaps we can run an ironman event - swim, run, wind, kite and (dinghie / paddle board) race?

Umm well 30/40 might be kinda outa my league, think 4.2 is my smallest sail (I'm less than 60kg) but its been well over 12 months since i've used my gear - haven't actually used this sail yet or the board for that matter Will aim still to come down - might just watch again

well we didn't get the forecast 30-40 knots. in fact we got nowhere near it. however suttons is a great place to sail and have a party. the weather was warm, the sky blue and the wind almost there. those that had big enough gear got some great runs with big swells out the back and consistent 15 knot winds. the rest of us with smaller gear went out regardless to muck around in the shorebreak and catch some waves. also available was the loft sails 02 on demo which received lots of praise. big thanks to Windsurfingsales for helping put the event on and to everyone that made the trek. winners of the gun sales gear were Lfish picking up the gun sail universal and base plate and haggar grabbing himself a gun sail mast bag.
