I started windsurfing in 1978 (as a teenager) and I think ever since about 1979 I've been hearing the same "it never blows like it used to" stuff.

The funny thing is that so often we see people saying there's no wind, and we look out and see longboards planing, Lasers and other dinghies heeling, and yachts looking for a smaller headsail. The problem is the breeze windsurfers expect and buy gear for, not the breeze we get - in my humble opinion, anyway.

A year or two ago we had one day of 18-22 knot sea breezes (confirmed by the bureau weather station 200m away) and even better the next day, and both days there were guys whining about the "crappy" wind. I have to say I suspect that the problem is just that people get gear for top end speed and also just going back and forth in flat water does get boring after a while, but some people blame the lack of thrills on the weather.

I'm currently training on LAser dinghies, a couple of years ago it was fast catamarans, and it always seems to be windy, not light.

I have been windsurfing now for over 20 years, I learn't in down at Currumbin. I can always remeber having long periods of poor to no wind prior to Christmas. Then once Christmas pases haveing a few months of good NE winds...then at Easter we would get a big change to southerly and usually a big swell sometime around then.

I am not sure if things are so different now, but I do know when I was learning I used to hit the water everyday no matter what the wind was like, maybe thats why I think it's worse...I have just got more picky (not to mention weight about 15kg more)

it's currently blowing 4.5 knots in Manly harbour(qld) the only formula that might get going is E=MC2...???
