in relation to this.. where do i go for a good flatwater (*edit* seems i have caused confusion, it doesn't have to be _flat_, but i don't think i'm ready for mast-high waves yet ) sail this weekend. checked location guide on windwanderers.. but didn't really find any good options.

i know its a bit preemptive... but i haven't been sailing for 10 days (not counting that day i was out doing rig body 360's in 2kts) and i am getting serious withdrawl symptoms. i might even turn into an emo....

btw, bris is okay as well, but graphs didn't look so good for there.

Hey swoosh i can not keep up with those graphs up/down.
Not really any good flat water spots around SE QLD in a SE wind. The Goldy (train) i think has like only 100-150M. Vicky point is great in a Southerly on a low tide. Other than that you have to travel to Burrum heads.

Well now, forgive me and wash my mouth out with soap but, BOM are saying North more than once (could be serial typo) or a speech dysfunction (reminds me of the movie "Schindler's Speech Impediment")
so for flat with a small lump or two maybe Lake Cootharabarabarabruh or if you have a more defined North definition maybe Burrum Heads.
Flat or lumps there.

Think it might be a bit longer than that, depends on if you want really flat water I guess.

Here it is on google earth with a measuring stick:

Vicki point is awesome at low tide in a southerly though

Yeah easterly is a bit weird, I had a go at a bit of easterly sailing last weekend when a storm came through, wind swung round 90 degrees so I was going straight up and down the seaway...

Swoosh,

Hey Haircut,

I'll be watching the graphs, not looking that great at the moment but if it's looking good I'll go up for the day. Got a new secret weapon excuse for not making my gybes as well

I think you need to be a member of Windsurfing Queensland, you should be able to register on the day.

If you've never been racing before remember to bring a Type 2 or 3 lifejacket, they won't let you compete otherwise, something to do with insurance.

Hey Wineman,

Whereis.com.au and google earth are your friends

If this current crop of wind keeps up then there's no reason to even use them, except maybe to plan what you will see from your hot air ballooning flight

Come on, own up, who tapped Huey's missus?

Plev,

Come and test your speed at Manly this Sunday.

The Burrum Heads boys are coming down to collect the trophies.

Nice coldies at the Manly Pub.

Hooray for now

I'm half tempted to come to Manly just to watch you guys. The set up next to your car, and launch 10m from your car and family have a picnic etc., makes me want to start windsurfing

*don't let the others hear that* lol

Sounds like u guys have an awesome day planned

[}:)]

I'll take u out anyday liz

hooray, is there really a spectator boat; or do you mean a tinny [}:)]

Plev,
The cup is huge, even a man with your talents would have trouble filling it. Anyway I had the lid welded on just in case you show up.

I now realise why you may not show!

There is no trophy for GREAT GRAND MASTERS.

Heya Nebbian

I'm thinking of at least trying it. Will give padi's gear a shot =D or whoever hands gear over for a try lol.

You guys are all so good at poledancing, it might be worth a try =D Never tried it, so may as well imo.

Working Sunday from 12.30-5.30, so unless it's a 9am thing, I can't make it down there =[
