Autumn Doldrums

We all know it happens here in SA, but deny it happens, after Easter each year until the NWester's arrive in late May early June with the first winter cold fronts. So to say you are a windsurfer to anybody who don't sail or know anything about windsurfing at this time of year make you look like a wally boarder floating around in 5 to 10 knots on flat water on an one design windsurfer/ SUP and calling it hardcore!!
Now it's a time to take stock of what you want to improve with your sailing this winter/ spring and how best you are going to go about it. Either it may be an equipment up grade or a resolve to ''Harden The F@#K Up'' and go for the next big move that is holding you back .
This is the best thing about wavesailing , you will never fully master or get bored of it and you can always improve.
Look at Mark Angulo at the moment @ 44 years of age, he is still pushing new avenues of wave sailing the younger guys are not even looking at the moment . I know Mark well ,he is the m...

Windsurfing dropped from Olympics

choco — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:28:56 +0800

We need all windsurfers to get behind the petition to stop this rediculous decision. http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/ISAF-Selects-Kiteboarding-For-Rio-2016/

Want to start sailing again after 8 year rest.

GWilko — Sun, 13 May 2012 14:10:29 +0800

G'day, need some advice on old cheap gear. Used to wavesail a fair bit but haven't been out for a while. Looking at cheap boards in the for sale section but my knowledge of newer old stuff isn't that good.

Broke my old glass wave board so was looking for a cheap board to replace it say sub $300. Need some cheap sails that might last longer than the old Combats I've got.

I'm 44 about 70kg and reasonably fit so shouldn't take too long to get back to a good standard of sailing.

Anyone got any cheap gear they want to get rid of?
Cheers

Wave sailing the mid-coast

russh — Mon, 07 May 2012 11:21:52 +0800

Looks like the might be some northerlies this week (if the forecast holds), and im pretty keen to try sail on the mid on either monday or tuesday.

I don't know much about the spot, and it would be awesome if I could go out with some other sailors.

Is anyone going to head out this week who wouldn't mind showing me the ropes.

cheers,
James

Metric - Port MacDonnell Vid

pilchard — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 06:13:19 +0800

Spent the last week of March at Port Mac on a dying swell. After a day of visiting a few of the local heavy reef breaks I started wondering where the beginner/intermediates surfed and luckily shortly after stumbled across Brown Bay - a nice beachbreak with potential to be very exposed if the swell turns south! Very stable weather for most of the week with light early morning offshores. Surfed a famous "secret spot" alone and wished I'd some company (or had bigger figs!) - the surfer's guide hadn't helped with a nearby break being described as "isolated and sharky" , "strong currents when bigger"! On the last day a trough/front system moved thru and we tore off to Browns hoping for some action only to find the swell had completely died! On the way back thru town saw a guy walking on Breaksea Reef - normally seething mass of white water! Luckily Pilly came to the rescue with a plan and we had a nice light wind sail. Hope you like my first video! Cheers and happy sailin'!
