Anyone got any ideas as to what the wind's going to be doing in Adelaide tomorrow? Confidant in the current forcast? Thinking about getting the Red Eye tonight...

I'm heading off to Boggy Lake tomorrow. Anyone else heading there?
Forcast doesn't look to bad and it's always windier there than it is in Adelaide.

Yeah we got a duel cab white ute. It will just be my dad and i there tomorrow. I'll probably be sailing with my small orange sail. Might seya there.

Had a great sail today. Best and fastest i ever have. Almost pulled off a couple gybes and did a few waterstarts too. Not much longer until i'll have it all under control . Got a three week break from school over easter and spending a week at Goolwa and many day trips to Boggy Lake. Hopefully i'll improvbe heaps over this time.

Only down side to the day was dads board getting smashed once again. We shall have a go at repairing this again soon. Hopefully before the holidays.

Nah its a JP freeride 158L, 2004. This is very big so perfect for him to come from his old 25yo gear. I think the problem is that he hasn't quite got use to the new gear (developed bad technique on his old stuff) and frequently gets catepulted while in harness and what not. Because the board is quite wide, it's very easy to hit the side where he has three times. I would think a 120L would be much better and less easy to hit. I would also think your skill level is much higher than my dads.

Personally for the money of a JP i would go starboard if i had a choice. Eitha that or Naish. I've herd that JP board are easy to damage but they put a lot of their research into the speed and performance. My brother and i both have Naish boards. I've thrashed mine and havn't had more than a mark from the boom on the rough surface. My brothers board, a Naish Supercross (114L), Is awsome. I love it. Fast and can also have a center strap to wave sailing or heavy chop. Highly recomended.

But yeah personally i would go Starboard Carve or Naish before another JP. JP may perform better (not certain on that) but i think they are not a strong.

Hi Bubs, We ended up sailing at Goolwa on Sunday, as it was a little more user friendly for us with youngun!(ie we had babysitters) We had good wind for most of the day, got a good two hours in between 3-5pm, then it dropped out.

Sailed at Kent reserve in Victa this afternoon, Kym went ok, I struggled with the chop and my rig wasnt tuned as I like. But was fun in the swell.

Hi Susie, we missed u today!
Yeah, I'm going nuts in windless Wagga, although I did get a sail on Sunday. Not great but I'm getting good at windless gybes. Apparently I should be wearing booties cos of glass. Least I'm wearing a lifejacket cos two fingers under the water and you would disappear into the mud for good. Two other guys out, the one on the massive board and another guy on a real old school 70s board and triangle sail who was fascinated in my beach starts and had obviously never seen a waterstart before. He got a woo hoo in on a gust tho. I would have put him onto seabreeze.com but he disappeared before I did. Yesterday Divaldo I looked at the bom site for sellicks and at 11.00 something am it was 40-46 knots. Oh my goodness. Everytime I look at it its windy!!!! aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

Yeah, I'm going nuts in windless Wagga, although I did get a sail on Sunday. Not great but I'm getting good at windless gybes. Apparently I should be wearing booties cos of glass. Least I'm wearing a lifejacket cos two fingers under the water and you would disappear into the mud for good. Two other guys out, the one on the massive board and another guy on a real old school 70s board and triangle sail who was fascinated in my beach starts and had obviously never seen a waterstart before.

Yesterday Divaldo I looked at the bom site for sellicks and at 11.00 something am it was 40-46 knots. Oh my goodness. Everytime I look at it its windy!!!! aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

Wasnt sure you read this or not. Yeah the stats. Thats cos I going crazy looking at all the wind back home I'm missing it too!!! Yeah I need a new career. Actually any job at the moment (almost)
