...because you cant surf?

You made me laugh Greenie.. ..and I know you're having a joke..

You are also right.. I was never much of a surfer and my windsurfing background does not help me much surfing these big boards using a paddle instead of a sail.

I wish I could surf as well as you.. Casso.. Brooko and many others here.. and I really enjoy having a go in the waves when I can.

If any of you guys are in Melbourne when we get a honking north wind I'd be happy to share one of my boards with you and take you on one of our down-winders.. It's so different to being in the surf but still heaps of fun.. and also very challenging.

This vid makes you feel like you are there.. and the views looking at the back of those waves as you paddle to stay on them shows just what it's like.

Cheers Casso.. I know Greenroom and he's a funny guy..

That was really cool DJ.I want to do some open ocean paddling as well,but really need the right stick,

Oh good. I'm glad you were just having a joke. Gullible Casso didn't get it ... although I did think it was a bit out of character of you.

All happy.

Greeny, you're a thug and aggressive and obviously have problems with personal relationships. As well as that you can't park your car properly!! THUG!!!!!

Good Vid DJ...I'll actually be there in 10 days. On Maui and my race partner & I plan on doing a few Maliko runs the week before our race. I 'd love to get hold of a camera to attach to my board but at the moment we don't even have a board to race. But I'll see what we can do. I've never really read all of the threads on here about GoPro's and camera attachments etc but maybe I should before I go over. Or maybe I'll try catch up with Rambo this week for a rundown.

That's great Sue.. .. You should catch up with Bill.. I'm sure he'll have something for you to use.

The answer is No..and Not much..

btw.. If any Melbourne guys (or gals) are interested.. This Wednesday is looking good..

Dave (fireman) should be back with his new 16' DC and Jonathan might have his new 14' Pene.

I've got a bit of a wog. Will see if I'm up to it in the morning.

If I'm there I'm there...

No.. We pulled the pin on it at about 8am.

It was looking good untill the cold front hit at about 730am.

The gusts were over 50 knots from the west.

Bummer.. ..We were hoping the front would not hit untill about midday.

I wonder how the guys doing the Bass Straight crossing held up in that wind..
