shallow inlet at Sandy point in victoria is Known as the place for speed.
But in the few short years I have been visiting the sand dunes have grown, causing the dispution of air flow.

What was it like 10 or 20 yrs ago?

apparently it has something to do with a Sth african grass, does anyone know?

what are the rules on sand mining?
where are the sand mining companies?
who wants to buy some sand?

Is there plans under way for another speed week?

Who is out there on the new crop of speed boards?
what are your evaluations?

Hi tony

Yeah..wouldn't mind some sand....

Welcome to reality...good luck with the local "Green" council getting it mined...just so we Windies and kiters can have fun..yeah right!

I did laugh when you asked who knows some sand mining companies....yeah sounds like a night time operation that one..with all those interested reversing up with their 6*4 trailers...send me the digital night photos!!!! love to see them!

Speedweek is a long standing tradition..i remember Alan Gleeson from Sydney hurriedly getting his new sail numbers for speed week on his brand new set of Gaastra Speed Foils..yep, mylar if i remember right..lovely big cams too...yeah right!

See ya..another day in paradise...gota go and get planing

sounds like a good spot for kitesurfing

A bit of drilling and explosives is the simple answer to the dune problem just prior to a big winter storm front kicking in to take care of all the debris!!! But then you have to sort out the wind direction problem it's going to be gusty westerlys for ever and ever .. maybe blow up all the dunes behind the car park! or do what i did, move to WA...

see you later tony,

hey young tony,

I set off from Elwood on Anzac day, for a windsurf safari/move to perth, I got one lame sail at a place called bremer bay a few weeks later and that was it for the whole south coast of this friggin country.
Since I've been in Perth there has been f%#k all wind, apart from a tornado a couple of weeks ago, got a sail on the back end of that which was awesome...but hark ...as I write this and look out my freeo window it's howling - there loads of winter fronts piling in. mmmmm thu / friday looks good.
I should have left it another 6 months before the move, I've been keeping my eye on the wilsons prom 72hr details, sandy point and warratah bay have been looking good eh - nICE and cold.
