Hi all...

Planning my first downwinder this weekend with a mate. Thinking leighton to city beach/floreat. Just wondering if there's anything I should know before heading out. We're both 'improvers'.. staying upwind most of the time but needing the odd walk of shame. Starting to nail transitions more consistently, still missing a fair few.

Dry bag for car keys, do we need anything else??

Any safety things to be worried about on that route? (I know the barracks is a no land zone)

Cheers

A double knot in your boardies for the walk through swanny.

Looks like we might have to wait for another day with the current forecast

Prairie dogs?? I'm probably better off not knowing what you're talking about!

If the clubbys have the flags out, stay 200m to the south, west and North

Just dont crash at swanny.
If you do, dont look to the dunes.
