Hi Vando and Hobie Harding. I am still a believer so am thinking of Vicki pt, 'specially if da tide is lowish. Looked at the speed-bank on a map of the bay n it looks like it could be useful in a s-e. Anyway, will see what the 'morro has to offer. Have both your ph nos so will let u know if da wind she blows. Will check this thread 2morro.

Hey Mike I sailed Wello today.
Man was it busie down there, wasnt many sailboaders though.
It took awhile to find a park too.
Had a nice sail with the 7.5 and the Scross. wind was only about 12-15 knots. doesnt look good for sat now either.

I sailed Tweed river today, marginal conditions, I'd finished up when imagine my surprise when I saw another mad keen windsurfer out there! Yep Dave had joined in, although with his 5.2 he was having even more trouble than me to get planing...

Wind was 8-12 knots, almost no whitecaps on the 10cm chop.

I spent 2 hours on the water, and between me and Dave we had a combined total of 10 seconds planing time.

Still, good to get wet, beats sailing a desk I guess.

Dat you Mike? Dont know how you figured out who I was on here?
Didnt think anyone in Bris knew me as Hobie14t.
I went to the train today with Jamie, was quite alright. Most the guys out looked fully powered up. I was a little under powered at only around 15 knts.

Si said you saw my new Screamer in the store! what did you think about the secret weapon on the bottom?

Hi Hobie. Easy to find out it was you- just looked at your profile under your posting and it gave your name. Had 3+ hours on sat at Manly with Simon and Scotty. 15kts s-e and long runs out to the Darcy Light and back. GPS showing speeds in the low 20s, so it was just cruising fun, but good to be on the water with mates. The 'secret weapon' on the bottom of your new board has been a good talking point- Mistral must believe it works or they wouldn't have done it. I myself believe it should work- the proof will be in the sailing with it on, then off. Catch you soon- prob at the first slalom day.
