saw a lot of sailers down they tonite is this your new spot

wall to wall kites pins to mulls the kites dont go neer the surf club

The mast high wave that came from no where

That was probably the result of one of my half backed attempts at a gybe today.
And yep think a move may be warranted, as had to contend with downed kits a bit today and its a tad painful at times. They are learning just like me I suppose, but f.... they take up some room

mineral... have u tried from in front of the mullaloo pub...not as choppy and hardly any shore break in the summer....grass to rig on, not as far to walk, safer car park...etc

sorry to here about the cobbler....i feel ur pain

Please explain.....what's a cobbler?

Cobbler is a fish something like a catfish. Nasty little barbed spines that have a poison that enters any area it sticks into Nasty bloody painful encounter.
Fortunately for me it just hit the side of my little toe. I was just stepping onto board in shallows when it happened. Spent the night with it wrapped in a heat pack, hoping like heck it would eventually go away (pain that is)
Couldn’t face the drama of sitting at Joondalup emergency for hours on end. Hit on toe wasn’t a full blooded hit and its now down to a dull throb, thank goodness.

Windy, I thought of you when I was packing up at end of session hobbling around on 1 and 1/2 legs

We don't have them here in SA as far as I know. Just a few stingrays n the odd whitey. Oh n crabs.

In actual fact you probably have Cobbler fish in SA. They are found in estuarine waters from NSW down around to WA but are more renowned or prevalent in WA. I picked up a sting on the top of my foot from a jeuvenile cobbler fish in Lake Connewarre. They hide in clumps of weed and I dragged my foot through the weed when waterstarting. I thought that I had ripped my foot apart on a piece of barbed wire or something. My foot swelled up so that I couldn't fit the footstraps. And felt like it had molten metal poured onto it. No sympathy on return home as not a mark was visible.
If you find one you will know.

Perhaps Clobber fish is a WA name? I have never heard of such a fish in NSW. Sounds really nasty and I am glad I did not meet one when I holidayed at Lancelin.

I went to Mullaloo last night Rigged on the grass near club house sailed downwind along the coast looking for a good sandbank Sailed with Miller and Leech. Then 3 tacks upwind back to the club house.
It was head high in the sets a bit dumpy on the bigger waves wind was stronger than at Metts/ Scarborough but it was a bit onshore. Needs a 3m swell to be any wave fun.

Greenroom I have never pulled myself away at Scarborough, but I have seen Mr No-one grinning as he has come out of the sand dunes and I think Gazza prefers going to Swanborne.
