Pretty sure there is a wave comp on over easter, Onboard are organising I think? Any takers for Beachport or Robe? We are staying at Beachport with the hope of sailing in Lake George, or at surfers beach if the wind is right.

Divaldo,

Just got back from Beachport, spent the weekend there and the wind was non-existant......until this morning, had to pack-up & head home.

The lake is very low, south half nearly completely dry, couldn't get to 'the spit' (how do you get there? from beachport, or bog rd?)

I can't imagine how they could hold a comp. there, but you might know more about that than me...

Hey Divaldo,
I am still hoping to make it. Might camp in Robe though instead of Beachport. Had a great offer of someones backyard there and mattress fits in car. All depends on THE BABY. Which is due on the 22nd March, they will induce if 10 days late which makes it the, hang on, dont tell her APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!!!lol so all going well, I should be able to drive back via Robe. Hope we get some wind for easter.

Is there any flat water stuff done there? or is it only wave sailing. I don't think i'll be able to go though. Still relient on my parents taking me and it's prity far away.

Beachport - Lake george = flat water in the lake and flat water and a bit of surf in the sea

Robe = bit of both, but proly more waves

Can't make it. It's a bit far to drive and i'm not the one driving therefor i don't make the decission . Going to Boggy a bit though and going to Goolwa for 5 days in about 2 weeks so that'll be good. Hope to see you all soon. Almost done fixing dads board so should be good.

The forecast does not look that good at the moment. It looks like it might be a good easter for drinking and surfing.

I am going to try long board light wind sailing at surfers at Beachport, have had some recent inspiration form Giampaolo in Maui.....295 John Hall should do the trick

Brett at ONBOARD told me that it was a three day expression session sort of comp

So, rock up, pay ur money, go to the party Friday night, drink beer, sail on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, if you see someone do something speshal tell the judges and then that person gets a prize. Or something like that......

If you go Susie, Tell the judges that I pulled a double forward (chop hop of course) that might get me a new board

Call us if you go!
