Just a heads up that i am looking towards saturday the 29th for the next installment of the windwanderers.

SurfFx on the goldy have come onboard as sponsors for the club and are helping to put on a meet at Kirra in the surf.

all the usual events planned, bbq, giveways, and this time some wave sailing (hopefully).

after talking with the guys at SurfFx we decided that if the NW's don't eventuate in the next week or 3 but we get a nice strong SE'er then we'll move the event to the train.

The preference however is Kirra, so we will wait and see what the wind is up too!

big thanks to Ian and the team at SurfFx for sponsoring the club. We all appreciate it.



p.s. update on the wanderers website coming soon, (during the week).

Keep in mind that the following weekend (Sunday 7th) is a WQ race meet. Could be tricky for those who are only allowed out to play on one day of the weekend.

yep, on the case.

WindWanderers is on saturdays to avoid conflicts with WQ. i understand some can't do both days though so we will see what the weather brings.

p.s. updated some of the WW site.... including the previous meets section with the bongaree get together. will add more photos to the wello meet asap.

Kirra sounds like fun. I'll try and make it wind permitting. Is that north Kirra or the other end?

Gestalt I've been dying to try Kirra. Save it for a windy Sat and I'll be there. Haven't surfed there for 25 years.

north kirra beside the surf club carpark. great spot to have a beer to.

sorry haircut.

maybe we will have wind, i hope so cause i still want a sail. lots of the guys also can't make it and that was a pretty big factor.

no probs, would be a lot more fun with everyone there . the only risk is the longer we leave it, the less likely we will get wind through the afternoon as it is rarely windy beyond 11am as we approach summer and throughout summer with a northerly wind

at the southern end of the gold coast that is

heads up guys and girls.

saturday 9th looks good. all of the models seems to suggest NW-N winds. seems only 1 day will be good so hopefully we can time it right.

will wait and see as things will always change weather wise but currently 20knots seems to be the suggestion.

Sat the 6th looks the goods, at least at the moment

Don't know about Kirra, but the seabreeze has been kicking in regularly at Manly most afternoons. Very very nice to be past the winter doldrums. Thanks Huey

Oh yes, thanks Huey. I dont know why they say those things about you.

Today was a surprise. Headed off expecting 10 to 12 knots and got a pretty good 14 to 18, maybe a bit more.
