We didnt think you were coming, and I only took a 5m & 4m down thus today was crap. There ended being a bit more at wello but it started raining so I thought i'd call it a day... there was only one other person out at wello and it was a teabag. Yeah what did happen to our 40knots???

Gestalt next time you speak to Peter could you see how much a 5, 6.6 & 9m concept would cost (mates rates ). Gun sails is probably winning at the moment due to prices- Pat you really need to get Gun sails

Hi Mark,

I talked to pete today, told him your situation and what you were after. he said to give him a call he has a 6.6 in stock at the mo.

Hey Gestalt im not far off the big fellow 42Knots with my freeride sails. Hey wello was pumping today did my best speeds in a SE today.

nice one vando, bloody hell. 42knots.
today did you go out the front or along the bank? pity you can't use todays times in the speed trial tomorrow.
i was stuck at home on duty, so i closed all the windows, doors, and curtains and prenteded there was no wind around even ended up watching a kitesurfing vid. (it had windsurfing in the background).

padi. where ever you want to go i'm cool. train is good. forecast is for light winds so i'll bring the big stuff. will send MB soon. anyone else going?

i think i found new home at vic point. guys were saying they can get 2m waves at coochi.[}:)][}:)] the words tweak and crew were used some i'm in.

MKseven, could sell you my 8.3IQ for $100-150. it is very fast. rigs on a 490.

it is howling.

cleveland weather has a peak of 38knots at 10.07 pm. the house is starting to rattle.

no worries, i'll bring the torch.

Gestalt: gold coast marathon tomor so we wont b able to get to d train easy. most guys sailed at shearwater today, u know where it is? end of lae dr, off oxley dr, park on shearwater esp. i'll b there around 2.

was sooo good.
everyone shared the 30+ knot vibe.
good to see a lot of old and new faces.
...the young crew are very competent
and crash heaps
lotsa fun, i'm sore, g'nite

there were a couple of different faces there at shearwater on sunday, i take it you were one of them Gestalt? it was unfortunate u weren't there friday or saturday as the wind was stronger and more consistant. Was still fun anyway

cheers

no not like that. It had a surprising amount of westerly in it, probably southsouthwest. It was a strange day allround, including the wierd lack of rampy chop and some of the sailors were missing from saturdays session. It is a great spot for our winter direct southerlies, providing you get it wind-against-tide conditions, otherwise it's a constant fight to stay upwind. The train still offers the most tide-unaffected conditions, but gets a but monotonous after a while. The number of windsurfers seems to be on the increase over the last couple of years and u can just about go anywhere on the broadwater and sail with someone else, even in the surf now days. When i first started sailing in 2000/2001, you'd be lucky to see another windsurfer other than at the train. No doubt the seabreeze website has helped alot because it probably gives everyone a central communication point, and allows other sailors to see just how many folk are into the sport. I'd imagine folks like mr green and mr brown are rubbing their hands together in joy over the last 12 months even they have taken on the vertical erections again

hope to see u there again. come and say hi. I gave you guys a wave a few times but you were too busy doing your thing. we often get up to wello during winter

that was me

at shearwater the tide flows south when going out. It is the opposite at the train as the mouth is halfway between the two spots.
