Does Scully want a speed board ??
I have a very cool high-wind slalom, Wind Tech 808 tahat I don't really need and would long term loan, if you want it.
Sounds good, Im considering buying some high wind slalom gear for the sandy point days, but still kinda unsure. What volume is it?
Dunno exactly, but it's definitely a sinker for me at 80 kg, so probably around 75-80 litres.
It's an older style board, flat, narrowish by today's standards but not a total needle, easy to gybe (for me), sharp rails, very light weight, likes a 5.0 - 5.7 kinda sail. I can run a 6.2 but it likes it less.
If I get to Burrum, I'lll take it with me, and you can have a go on it. |

Scully you can have this if you want it, its old and glsss but I'm sure its fast . I can even deliver i to vp next week as I'll be down that way
p.s
minus front deck pads plus 29cm tuttle fin, I'm a touch shy of 80kg and have sailed it with a 5.1 in 25kts and a 4.0 in 30 -40 kts send a pm if you want it, no strings attached

| I will go where the people are. Sounds like Queens might be the go. Hopefully today is day 1 of many in a row Looks like the wind is already starting to build. |

2nd that hairy,
the redy graph definitely reads 5-7 knots higher than the actual. unless you go more than 500 meters from the beach, then it's a closer reading.
i'll always do sutton's over queens in a SE wind. Queens is the bomb during a N-NE wind though. 
forecast looks awesome! VP for me i haven't sailed for weeks.  |

| I was fully powered to overpowered in fairly consistent winds for the whole time I was out so no complaints from me. But then again, I don't go to queens often so maybe I was lucky. Nice to get on the water anyways. Looking forward to the next weeks or so of wind. Where to sail next... hmmm |

| Sailed Queens beach Redcliffe for one and half hours today in an extended lunch break. It was awesome - solid 5.5m stuff with no holes and nice smoothe 1 metre swells out the back. I only go Suttons when there is too much south in the wind. I have sailed all over Moreton Bay and Queens is the spot for me - no issues with tides, no crowds, no mud, plenty of grass and just plain easy. |

well said dr gas,
might even be down the next few days with gear less grommets as childminding arrangement is still holding up
would be nice if the rain dissappears for awhile

^ tis a nice spot for sure.
sutton's just noses ahead for me in a SE because of wave riding (if you can call it that). further south at margate is similar but a lot more reefs. |
