Saw this topic on another forum - good reading about others sessions - thought would see how it goes on seabreeze.

Melbourne was awesome last night - Wind 25-30 knots from 4 till around 8. Kited Sth Melb. on an 8m for about 2 hours. Great session.

What was yours like

I think you should head out. It will probably be ok.

"That's one of those new bow thingys isn't it? I've heard they've got lots of depower. Eddie would go. "

Of course the irony there is that Eddy did and didn't come back (not kickin anyway)

Well I can't very well say I would go can I? Even if I would. What if someone took that as advice and went out and hurt themself? I mean, people see me as something of a role model around here ...

Had a crazy session yesterday in those nice gusty afternoon Melbourne winds attempting to muscle a brand spanking new Naish Alliance 12m around in the 22-26 knot winds. Also headed out today in the light wind around midday (12-14 knots) and whilst i was up and riding had a hard time holding ground. Wind picked up about 2pm and was lit again until i decided to call it quits ~5:30pm.

The new Alliance takes a helluva lot more effort and energy to fly than my old Ozone Instinct! Guess i just need to HTFU!

Out yesterday arvo, Point Henry, pretty much dead southerly, sitting at around 20 knots from 6:- 8:30.
Few others out there, tide was out, nice and flat water, continuing to hone in my backrolls, frontroll next, bloody sore today, and a huge smile on my face too!

Did bust up my home made board... not too happy about that one tho... may need to buy one! ek!
