What crew 'taught' you may I ask? And what spots?

That's a fast progression, well done.

I presume you managed to get out a few times a week?

Zarb, it's been a pleasure. Fly safe,... both back to JB and on the water.

And this is our forecast !

Driving home. I don't think I would have survived down here without a car...

Yeah suniboy, Melb is giving me one final show

Im the same as you seabreeze, dont enjoy going too hard if by myself!
I'm off Wednesday and Thursday I live in Barwon Heads, so ill head to Point Henry on Thursday if you're interested?

Cool. You reckon Point henry is good in a northerly? like Super flat water good?
DO you still drive all the way to the point when its north?

so glad we have put the house on the market to get out of melbourne.
Looking forward moving to ocean grove.
Junglist, do you rate barwon heads for kiting?

At pt Henry, where do you park and setup from. Never been there but might go tomorrow about lunch time.

Cheers andy

Drive to the very end of Pt Henry Road, it turns into an unsealed road. Drive down a small hill and turn left straight after the toilet block, into a little turning circle / parking area. Setup area is the grassed section in front of the carpark. You can't really set up on the beach because it's too narrow and weedy.

Yes mate it's my favourite location. The river mouth works the best in a (rare) Easterly and a really strong updraught can form inside the bluff which means HUGE air! The more frequent westerlies are not so good due to the bluff causing turbulence and you have to move further down the beach towards the main beach (which can cause some surfer agro). Southerlies are also good.

Get yourself a good tide chart as most of the beach from The Dunes to RAAFS disappears on a high tide.
I moved down this way 2 years ago and have not looked back, there are just so many awesome locations down here and I will take the purity of the ocean over the bay any day.

PM me if you want to hook up when you move down, there is a very small local crew down here.

If the forecast for.Saturday holds up,sw, is RAF beach the best down that way. I've done point danger loads,love it,would like to see something else.

Can anyone report on wind at raaf beach now? About to drive...unless its no good
