OMG that was the funnest downwinder both myself and Jazz have ever done. We have got footage and will try to post it up later on. We swapped between the 17ft naish and 14ft naish, wicked fun, runners the whole way! But man that was a hard paddle back into currumbin bar with a rushing out going tide.

XX angie

The boys are all heading down now for their downwinder.

south of the border was wicked today too, so was Tues. Getting in and out of the lineup has been interesting though, a bit worried about doing this again ..

Had a great paddle on Tuesday, Hastings to casuarina, But just got in from the same paddle and it took me 25mins longer. The wind was only barely helping and i hardly linked any good runners. My wife was getting ready to call air sea rescue to look for me

dale, mike and myself were about 10 mins after the boys.we went to burleigh. i found my stance- i just kicked into my snow skiing style, relaxed shoulders and just keeping the scapula or shoulder blades together.so much easier. don't know about others, but i was regularly putting a lot of linked runners together. swapped boards- heaps of fun. i'm not even thinking about surfing at the moment. highly recommend any body to get into it.
now where's that video
cheers

To all those keen on getting into downwinders on the Gold Coast (and further afield) we are having a get together as part of the last SUPSA event of the year. There will be a few different boards around but feel free to bring your equipmennt down too (if you have some).

Anyone is welcome to come along so be at the old Palm Beach bowls club area from 8am this Sunday 6th Dec and we will go from there.

I will have to try on the home computer as the one at work is pretty basic. The new HD gopro is so good and clear it shold make some good movies once i can work it out.

I did exact same run on Tues morning around 7.30am - you and I are going to have to hook up, would be heaps better with someone else I reckon. PM me with your details if you want Clarky & I'll give you a buzz next time I'm loading up the HMAS Relentless

www.videolan.org/vlc/ only a 17mb download, will play anything, including gopro HD vids.

I doubt you will be able to edit using windows movie maker. I use sony vegas, which works pretty good.
