Hey Gestalt ive never sailed at Manley before whats it like.

No Haircut
Just when I was going to go forward all costs I injured my leg and the wind stopped plus my grandmother's car ran out of methane and there was a solar eclipse during a severe lightning storm.I would have gone out if the wind had held.Did manage some crazy air time and some backloop crashes after making it around.I wonder if this WE may present some opportunities.
What the hell is happening with this wind?Its 25knots then 5.Must be just the squalls.I was hoping for the early at Kirra but maybe SUN.I will be keeping my eye on Narrowneck.A few bumps around so may be fun.Narrowneck tends to have good wind in a N/NE as it runs down the beach.

Chrigi - yep, maybe narrownecks the go

How do you get to NarrowNeck?

I'm hanging for that location guide at WindWanderers to be put up so that I don't have to ask such silly questions all the time

Make that Kirra 2, Nebbian 0. Broke a batten there today

See you at Wello tomorrow!

Well another cracker of a day at wello.
Shame it was low tide this afternoon otherwise I for have gone out again. I was pretty buggerd though I did something like 76 km on the water today. great to see the goldy crew again.
what happened to you Haircut. Did you sail down there.
Well tom looking good again.
ta Vando

hi gestalt, sailed at bells with lookkc today, gusty but great day on the water, plenty of short sharp ramps for air also helped up by the near 30knt gusts, direction wsw to w, sailing from near rockwall and kids playground heading out towards port of bne, same as photos kerry sent you, basicly same today as then, should try it sometime,play ground for kids bbq toilets big open park for anyone who wants to try land sailing, check boms current obs for redcliffe highest gusts to 33kts.

if yr still comming up to reddy on monday, try suttons or queens bch north, if there is more s thly then suttons is the go if more se in it queens bch nth is better cheers

Hey Haircut
I have heard sorry the pun of aircraft equalising ear protectors.They actually adjust for the change in altitude and cabin pressure.Perfect for a perforated eardrum .Sorry I can't remember the name but a google should sort it.Failing that I use a swimming ear plug which is not recommended for the surf as pressure may be too great and it may be forced permanently into the interior of your empty scon but hey we are not supposed to be reasonable as we are addicted to knot play.

I will check narrowneck early before the swell and mess becomes a hassle then shearwater after 9am when the tide goes into user friendly.
Hope to see you back on the water Haircut.I said HAIRCUT.

D I D Y O U F I N D Y O U R E A R P L U G S HAIRCUT.

see u there ed

was good bit gusty but fun. Quite a few there. If you are off tomorrow i'm going to go back again. The tide is better for tuesday

Hey Gestalt,

You are completely and utterly, 100%, totally INSANE! Crikey, 8.5? Maybe if it was a kite! Wow, that's hardcore, and what I would consider GOING BIG

Haircut, good to hear that you got out today, how long will it take your ear to heal? Is your balance out?

Might get out to Shearwater tomorrow, depends on how early I get things done in the morning. Possibly see you there tomorrow!

I have some sad news for you guys..... But 'tis some great news for us....

It seems that Haircut has 'crossed over' seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19630

i was just Elizabeth b8-ting get-it get-it get-it to see if u were monitoring my activities

actually, the windsurfing forums are so well behaved that we are sometimes forced to cross over and read some kite posts for therapy

reading the kite forum i've become very edjikated and have realised that kiting is a very socially and mentally complex sport. I now know that;

- kiting using bindings is coolest
- kiting using straps is questionable
- sending the kite before crashing is extremely questionable
- dingle dangle is questionable
- deadmen are questionable
- leashes are questionable
- kiting at currumbin is questionable
- board offs are questionable
- bows are for oldmen and c's are for radical trendsetters
- kiting unhooked is koolest
- 9 oclock is radical

i'm now an expert

the most difficult thing about windsurfing is deciding cams or no-cams
