Sailing with the big guns at Sandy Point in an Epic session back in January on my freeride kit and not being tooooo embarassed

Meeting a heap of gr8 people through the GPS challange

surviving my humungas rail trip and subsequent broken neck and not dying or becoming sentenced to a wheel chair. Every day now is precious and a huge bonus

First WS trip to Geraldton - don't ask why it took so long!

First sail in X-off DTL conditions - mind blowing.

Discovering a "secret location" with Greenroom and Windy Miller - then being joined by two other sailors

Floating around on my board on hands and knees while hungry sea lions circled and jumped all over my submerged sail, trying to eat me.

First forward loop.

First back loop.

First duck gybe.

First aerial.

Planing out of most of my gybes

The bad hull delaminated on my 4 year old Starboard Trance while sailing at Lano on the 28th Dec. But it was the best day I have had at Sth Passage so it was worth it.

The good - - Bought a brand new board (Starboard Kombat 79) on the last day of the year -and then used it that same day - excellent sail and like all new gear it made me try that little bit harder (and feel like I'm sailing better).

It wasn't the best sail of the year but a day i will remember for a long time, it was the day of the Newcastle storm, yes the wind that pushed that huge ugly ship onto our beach, took a long lunch break to sail in the lake, it was a solid 40 knots gusts of about 50. the swell was sholder high, full servival sailing, never been so over powered on a 4.0m in my whole life, involintary 10 foot jumps out of control. just remember one gust heading back to the beach, board lifting off the water, fully overpowered, thought my rig was going to break in 2, looked about 30m ahead and there was this massive gust coming straight at me, the wind was southerly but the big gusts where coming from the east south east, it just flatted me like i'd just been run over by a boat.
was a great experience to actually say i was out there doing jumps..
