Rate you summers windsurfing on a scale of ten where

Zero indicates your dead, i.e. not going to do very much windsurfing but can probably still post on forums ( good money to be had if you can prove this to the Australian Sceptics Association) and still go kiting (this only requires a couple of mates familiar with the film “Weekend at Bernie’s” and some gaffer tape. Without to much effort your corpse will be flying across the beach, water, car park and no one will realise you are actually dead.

Ten might indicate the time was spent roaming the globe visiting windy and deserted beaches.

I will wait until its over to rate it

So far 7 probably +1 for the best "fun" LOC i have ever done (and finished) so 8

Probably 3 -4 ..got out a lot but crappy gusty inconsistent light winds..

10+ .......then my two 3 year olds woke me up and my wife was saying something about her going to work

wouldn't change a thing except the days of the week that the wind blows on

Bit soon to call it...we should get at least another 6 weeks of (semi)regular wind in WA.

Having said that it's been 8/10 for me. 25 sessions since the start of October, which is when the 'summer' season in WA gets underway. Had some corkers, cracked 40K , finished my first LOC, had heaps of wind for both the Lano and South Beach slalom events, and a couple of great sessions down in Mandurah.

Only thing I haven't managed to do is go wavesailing, but now I've got the 40K monkey off my back I'm gonna try and remedy that.

Can't really complain about lack of TOW in WA, it isn't always hell windy, but if you've got some larger kit there's plenty of sailing to be had.

all good

Bugger, know the feeling. I suffered an injury at the end of January last year and didn't get back on a board till October. Fortunately for me there were not that many windy days in Sydney during those months.

Yeah! Me too!

Just lovin' it!

first half of the SEQ season was crapola. i'd give it a 2.

the second half is looking the goods,

it's been 15-20 everyday this week and some good SE winds before that. so i'm giving the 2nd half a 9 so far

so all up 5.5/10

7 time on water was limited but when i was there skills were heaps better than last year roll on the winter fronts

seriously how crap is that..?

Was going to rate it 5 because of lack of wind.

...but had a few full-on sessions including waves & some reasonable jumps, so I'll give it a 6.

...and because it is Western Vic, I should judge it what's actually expected, and not against WA or where all the good wind is...so 7.

...and because I'm a proud dad that saw his 6yo sail non-assisted...8.

...yep, that'll do it 8/20!

10/10 for sure!
