hmmm i think i'm back at uni, looks like more time on my hands.

how often do we get wind when it's ESE, and raining??

alot at currumbin look at the graphs

It's nearly 9am, I'm sitting on Marine Pde waiting for a meeting, it's raining, 8-12kts on the wind meter with a gust up to 18kts and the temp on the car dash is 21 degrees - maybe later....

never mind...it only took me 5 years to work out why they hold the outdoor art expo, best smoke ring, peanut stacking and card house building competitions at currumbin

theres a peanut stacking competition ?..

I refuse to acknowledge nature. I am going to windsurf Currumbin today!!

Good luck with that, 10 kt SW at present.............................

Just had a look at Currumbin at lunchtime. Looked like there was a lot more wind out the front than showing on the Coolie graph, BUT a massive sweep.
There were a couple of Irish backpackers surfing, who the sweep was taking far out to sea in a north-easterly direction at a great rate of knots. They were being rescued by the lifeguards on a jet-ski.
I saw them drift a good few hundred meters in about 10 mins. Another few minutes and they would have been conpletely out of sight.
Not a good place to hang about if the wind dropped on this wind and tide.

Made a huge card castle today for two hours. I hope the wind doesn't come through tonight and blow it over.
Currumbin will definately be ON tomorrow while I work!!

was good

both the Ho s in action

Cool pics, haircut. I didn't realise you were taking shots yesterday. I was gonna see if you wanted a blast on that board, but you had left when I came in.
I got way overpowered at the end. I checked the graph last night and it was showing 33kts at that time, so no wonder.
I'm liking that new board a lot, might get out at Kirra/Tugun today on it.
I'm still gybing like crap though. Getting a littel better, but need way more practice.

yeah, i started work at 5 and had to head off to get ready

Wifelet says "good shots", nice and clear, wants to know what camera and lens you were using. She is a terminal camera gear-head, actually worse than I am with sailing gear.
