By the pricking of my thumbs,
some wind, for Queensland, this way comes!

Roll on Sunday, it feels like years since I've heard that planing rat-a-tat from my board

Hey Rustle,

Certain spot wouldn't rhyme with "Fat Sock" would it? Also do you know of a place that would work in that wind where the water's reasonably flat? Still getting the hang of gybes and tacks... quite keen to do a bit of dawn sailing if that's what it takes

W E L L O

cool, first op for me to use the board in weeks. the forecast is a SE tho.
plus i got to leave around 10.30-11am vici point is better in a SE

And just 'cos I live on the Gold coast doesn't necessarily mean I work in the porn industry.

nope, dead south is no good at wello. the western side of wello is best from SW around to E. probably the best spot in a NW or NE.

SE works at wello if you launch down the boat ramp on the eastern side and then sail through the channel out into the bay.

victoria point is the best in a SW to SE but has a real tide issue. leaves wello for dead in those wind directions.

redcliffe will also work in a southerly.

Prob not but you doing a good job promoting it LOL.

Never blows down the coast you should know that.

yes, i must admit i never forgave the reef. couldn't walk properly for about 6 months after the big toe was stitched back together.

i'm still a big fan of the place that can no longer be mentioned. (good point vando)...

but mark a southerly is dead offshore at wello. dead onshore at the place that can no longer be mentioned

u guys want high tide going to low tide for a good day at shearwater on a southerly. Will be about 11.30am high on sunday at shearwater which is good.

Anyway, if there is any hint of west, don't waste your time coming down the gldcoast, we'll come to you

Oh gawd you guys are depraved. "Flat Rock" ring any bells? Although the sign out the front has been vandalised to read something a lot more saucy...

Hmmm... wedding saturday night, probably lots of alcohol with my name written all over it, get up early for a session... cold water sounds like the perfect hangover cure But as usual none of you guys can agree on a location, so I'll just have to get out the reeferdex combined with google earth and go for a soul session. Y'know, if we could just have the nous to be able to organise a chook raffle in a pub we might just be able to turn up at a certain spot and have loads of guys all ripping away, good fun, but as it is it will turn out to be the normal everyone doing their own thing at their own location. *sigh*

Hey Haircut, have you sailed the rivermouth at tweed heads? Looks like it might be good in a southerly/SE.

Totally offtopic, anyone here heard of "flashmobs"?

to the shearwater Sunday? Should be good tide and wind direction.

Shearwater it is!
Sounds like a good forecast with a nice 25knt sou-easter and hopefully a mid-morning out going tide. Nebbian- Shearwater is located at Runaway Bay just past the Runaway Bay Shopping Centre. Travel north along Bayview Street and then take a right at the roundabout after the shopping centre (unsure what the street name is) and weave your way east (left then right) until you hit shearwater park. Someone else may fill you in with better details but I hope this helps,

Early at a place that likes s/sw near Balina.
Drive back and check direction at Currumbin .If no good Shearwater power boat hopping.Hope it hangs in there.It just hit Evans head due south.Hope the night conserves some of the energy for am.Better get some sleep....

Man, what an AWESOME day at the shearwater! 15-20 knots, about a dozen windsurfers and 6 kitesurfers at any one time, plenty of power boats to create some nice ramps for the keener amongst us... Yeeeha!! Haven't had that much fun in ages

(Edit: removed my enthusiastic second post)
