Hi crew - After a great weekend at Robe last year we were thinking crew might want to do another aussie day event.

as Aussie day is a tuesday and many will be working we were planning on a wave session / bbq / surf / SUP somewhere between Semaphore and Middleton on Tuesday the 26th.

The location will be dependant on the forecast on Sunday / Monday.

AIM: expression session, sausage sizzle and sup / surf if there's no wind.


If your keen keep an eye on the forum and I'll email the SSAWS list closer to the day - if you want to be on the list send me an email and I will add you to the list.

we can also discuss the plans for this winters wave events

Cheers

sweet as! i now have a official windsurfing barby!!! well its mine but always in use for events! aussie day events rock!

Aussie day reminder (Tuesday the 26th January for those who aren't sure)


A week away from Australia Day and the early forecast is for a hot one (38 degrees is the 7 day forecast).

Could we be lucky enough for the planets to align and get some NW'rs and decent swell at Day Street - or a se change and howling sellicks - stay posted - will call the location on sunday dependant on the forecast.

I now I'm sure looking forward to a blast in some waves and a social catch up

cheers

Russ

EDIT: If you want to go on the email list just PM me and you'll get any updates direct

Looks like going southerly on Tuesday - a new SW groundswell expected and a 0.8 dodge tide in the middle of the day (rules out U turns).

Gonna be a tough call re the location I think - maybe mobile - SUP at the MID till the sthly kicks and if its not strong enough head north for the seabreeze

Ideas?

SEACLIFF?

Depends on if you actually want to park in the same place you sail - I am so off that place over summer holidays

Edit - southerlies tend to bypass seacliff unless there is sw in it

unless we get there early?.....

but I agree, Seacliff has been hell this summer for parking

Hi everyone - looks like we are heading for Sellicks Beach on Tuesday - either head down from Silver Sands boat ramp ($5 for beach access after about 11) or head down Button Road sellicks beach and we 'll be there from around 1100.

BBQ will be on - bring some snags/BBQ meat/vegies.

beach cricket and surf / SUP until the wind kicks in - forecast is looking like a possibility of a fresh SE in the arvo - could be a bit gusty but we should get a sail even if its late .

Look forward to seeing everyone - bring a few coldies - we should have a big tent for shade as well.

Catch you then at sellicks from 11ish.

Cheers

should be a awesome day!! hope the wind does kick in. everyone bring some big learner gear because im sure there will be a few begginers wanting to have a go!

See you all there, its gonna be a great day!

What about Kent Reserve?
The forecast looks a bit better down there.

Got the day off work so ill be down there tomorrow for a look and a try if someone would be so generous to show me a thing or two...

Look forward to it.

Take care!

Hi everyone - great turn out yesterday was a lot of sails on the water from first timers to regular blasters - a couple of youngins doing really well too in gusty conditions - venue change was late but in the end the better option.

Everyone had fun with some SUPing, gusty 5-25 knt sailing and retrieving inflatable beach toys, canoes and people as they were being blown out to sea.

3-4 kilometres of cars 2-3 rows deep along sellicks beach is a new experience for me and the old salts who have been sailing there since time began.

Great to have a few beers with the crew some BBQ food and a sail.

Kids were having a ball - and I don't think we ran over anyone in the shorebreak - despite wall to wall people.

Cheers to everyone look forward to doing it again soon (still got a loaf of bread and twenty sausages left for next time)

Hopefully there will be a few piccies of the day to come

I had a ripper time. Thanks to the guys who put in the time to organize it.
Caught up with a lot of guys (and girls) I haven't seen in a while and had some fun out on the water.
Love the new gear, never had a board which is so smooth to ride.
Bring on some waves!

Off topic...
Anyone keen to camp at 3rd ramp this year (easter), I'll be heading down to rough it! It would be great to get a group together down there... I'll put the big tent in if theres a few takers!

Note to self... this time don't drink with Chris Wade

I am sure Chris is thinking the exact same thing, you two should never be left alone together!

....and that new board looks amazing!

sweet fun! had a good blast. i think i seen two cameras out so somebody will have some pics! good to see heaps of young guys out giving it a go. i aint roughing at 3rd ramp...... i seen that snake there last year and has scared me for life. camp grounds have showers and are good minus the snakes too.

Vikki and I'll will be heading down easter time. Were planning on camping in little dip NP, which is 10 min south of Robe. Anyone is welcome to join us there, it has good protection from the elements, just in case we luck some wind this year.
