Great. have been working all day. I have to go out for dinner. Out the front of my house it is about Double Mast and gusting 40 knots. Rideable, if your name is Laird. Not that i could play in that. But it is totally off the Dial. Maybe i will get out tomorrow. I have a 4.2 for sale. Any takers?

Thats the one. Did you get out yesterday Junior? Where are you going today?

omg i needed it i had a 5 up while everyone else was on 4. somthings (except for surfr) but i held on and i am feeling it this morning.

but the ice did prove good in crazy conditions

good to see ian their showing us youngins how to do things

I'll be there t'sarvo.I think. Would be good to use my new 4.2 again. But i think it may die down. The swell is still too crazy. I will try to get keen to drive an hour for a flat water session in the rain. I probably need to practise my gybes anyway.

Blood! Yesterday? I think this flat water sounds too extreme for me! Will i melt in the rain? Hold Me!!

better be carefull North-Lad. The sheerwater might be a bit too hardcore for you today

i have got some kind of blister on my right thumb i'll need a band-aid.

Is it just me or is it windier this morning then it was yesturday

hey guys thought I would just add to this banter, well I never thought I would say it but, my smallest sail, a 5.8 is a tad too big for the goldy!! lol, oh my god, had maybe 100 slaps straight back in trying to water start!! and was a battle holding the tail walking beast down thru the big wind swell in the centre of the chanel at shearwater. Have to say it was awesome to see so many boards on the water yesterday in such big wind for here.

looks like id better kit myself up with some 4m stuff!

see you all up there this arv, Ill go take a look, if it drops down a bit to the early 30 kn range ill be right I think, if not it will be cool just watching everyone else.

I got up there about 2pm, stood around for 1/2 hour then rigged the 5.8 again, was good, even a bit fluffy at times, so the lads with the 4's to 5m were falling off the wind a bit, hey Northboy, that was me yacking to you under the tree. Was awesome to be out there and not overpowered like saturday!

fluffy = less than 25 knots

wasn't anything like saturday beyond about 12pm and funny chop direction too

hope we get some more like saturday before the seasons over

yessirreee bob!

Dave was definetly putting in the hard yards on saturday!

I think he pulled a few water starts off actually.

nothin like a stiff 35 knot wind to learn the basics

what an arvo, I drifted halfway out to sea myself once, trying to teach myself how to waterstart, i think hero fo the day goes to our Japanese friend ( female ) for rigging up and hitting the water with her 5m sail, well done!!
