Where is everyone going sailing around Bris-vegas tomorrow?
The bureau is predicting 35kn gale force winds

I plan to catch a quick session at Victoria Point in the morning.
High tide is 10am, strong SE change predicted to come through early.

I sailed at Wello this morning.

Doesn't 30+ knots sort the Men from the Boys???

I WANT MY MUMMY


PS. Thanks James for borrowing my favourite Ezzy sail, then punching the nose of your board through it
Nevermind, it's nothing we negotiate over a few beers, but it is your shout mate

Hello,

Sailed Vicky Point this afternoon. Besides my lovely wife Sabien, nobody else??? Very gusty 30-40 knots conditions, no need for waves to get some air today. Bit overpowered on the 4.1 with Sabiens 85 liter wave board. Should be better tomorrow morning...

Rgds, Wim

Shearwater was awesome today! those that ventured out Im sure all had an awesome hit, wind was measured at 37 knots peak. the 5.8 ALpha was just a tad big but nothing a truckload of downhaul couldnt fix to at least stay on the water. Needed to catch an arvo snooze on the lounge after 3hrs of blasting. Awesome!!

Hi Wim and Sabien,
I'm the guy from Vic point last week with the White van, you remember the two guys drinking beers after nice afternoon session?

Glad you had a good session today, Wello was excellent today too. You remember us talking about strong Ezzy sails? My other beer drinking friend discover that they are not exactly indestructible

Sorry James had to get one more shot in

Cheers, Scott.

Fantastic day, I'm stuffed now. Often overpowered on my 5.0 for most of the day, good to get a sense of your own mortality as well: I had a massive catapult (first one in ages) and was surprised that my brain hadn't dribbled out my ears when I came to.

Just when everyone else had packed up, Junior Freestyle and I had a fantastic last hour's session, perfect 18-20 knot winds, him doing all manner of spinney things, me just trying to crack that elusively subtle carve gybe. What a classic shearwater day
