Today we had three groups doing down-winders.

One group going was doing an early run before the wind was due to peak and I thought.. A bit soft..

Another group was doing a run when the wind was due to peak but they were going from Port Melb. all the way down to Rickets.. 20 klms and hey will be racing.. I'm thinking.. a bit hard..

Group three was doing the normal run (St Kilda to Sandy) and when the wind was peaking.. Perrrrrfect.. and just right..

Stu used his DC14.. Bruce was on his 14' Glide and I used my 12'6" Glide.. It was a nice cruisie down-winder and great fun.

You've gotta make the most of this warm Melbourne weather before Winter sneaks up on us..

Arrh, your always taking the safe options DJ ,
we weren't racing,just neither of the two wanted to finish last

We saw you guys head out from Green Point just as we were coming up to it.. We didn't even stop at Green Point.. because we are tuff..

BTW.. How did you like PT's new Coast Runner? .. Or were you both on Ace boards?

Both on Ace boards - the 24 and the 27. We only stopped to swap boards.

Yeah yeah.. any excuse..

Four fourth's.. bummer! ..

That black thing is a Larry Allison Gladiator fin..

Also.. I wasn't going to take my camera on this run but just as we unloaded a gust hit so strong I had to hold my board down till it passed.. I grabbed my helmet and stuck the camera on (pointing down too much) and hit the water.. Unfortunately we didn't get another gust like that.
