hi pierre,

hang off for a little bit,

i also need to confirm when the most popular dates are. hopefully have the outcomes in a weeks time.

cheers
Justin.

you are a legend swoosh and thanks for the help.

sincerely i appreciate your offer. i think you should be a permanent member. if it does come down to something like your suggestion i am sure we will make it worth it for you.

but first we'll see what can be organised in town. i had a look at a couple of the websites that have been listed and there does seem to be a few vacancies around. whether we will get everyone into the same place is questionable though.

from my point of view i have no choice but a hut/cabin or something above that. my familly took out an anti camping policy after a camping incident involving my dog in ballina and then confirmed their decision after last years storm at Cootharaba. although the dog no longer comes camping the decision has stuck.

however others in the club love to camp. some have campers and vans too.

that said. i really appreciate you looking around. i am sure we will resolve something in the end. i can't wait. i only gotta mentio the word yamba to people and they start smilling at me.

Hey I was there on the weekend and it was awsome 25 Knot westerlies in the lake (lake wooloweyah is similar to lake Cootharaba). It is amazing down there for wind directions. Spoke some mates who live down there and they said it would be awsome to have a meet down there as long as there was a swap meet. Ill try and post some photos on the gallery of all of the locations.

And a good tip for booking is that it would be cheapest to book for before NSW School holidays. Queensland goes on holidays usually a week before NSw. it is less crowded and cheaper as you paying off peak fees.
and gestalt i might have some footage from Xmas eve last year where dad and i experienced 40 NE until 7:45 pm

Hey I am in for Yamba! what are the dates again?

Sorry Gestalt, I have missed this whole topic, and cant be bothered to read it all from scratch. Im just going to camp in a tent, are you booking sites for tents?

would be great to see it Kruza, i always wanted to head down there. Balina is as far south as i've been for windsurfing, except for victoria where i grew up, or down

try sending Gestalt or Mikey a seabreeze message about the video using the message option

great

I've camped at yamba a few times on my trips south, great spot but
have NEVER struck any wind there, take your beach cricket gear.

JasonP,

I had to check your profile, thought it was the 'great-man' himself!

(Although I didn't think he grew up in Yamba!!)

Last year we had NE every afternoon reaching 20 knots sailed every day. But remember to bring a surfboard. as Yamba Features two world class point breaks and and many consistant beach breaks.
The usual lifestyle for us down there in summer is surfin the morning and sail in the afternoon.

I'd say it was the windiest i had ever seen down the for a north easter. it was that windy on Xmas eve that everyone had gone by four o'clock and sun doesn't set until 730. if only i had a 3.5 i reckon i would have been ok

When you get a good runout tide and a nice 20-25 knot NE breeze coming in you can get some fairly large swell rolling through at the bar end of the rockwall and still get the perfect flatwater up along the wall at the river end

things not looking good people.

i have been ringing around and there is not much accomodation left.

has anyone booked already?

my backyard should be avail, (not actually mine, my parents). It really depends on if I am home for the summer holidays.

it is pretty far outta town (yamba). i would say 10mins to the water.
