Beachport is cross-on in a southwesterly. if ya keen its a goer.
I haven't WS for 1.5 weeks so I am almost keen enough for the drive from Adelaide to get a sail.

Yeah Scotty, showed up xmas eve.
9 x 33. Love it.
First time out I thought it was a slug but now getting use to it.
No ripper, traditional carving where this board rocks.
Gets thought the white water better than the 9 8.
Couple of guys had a go on it at Torqauy / PRK and loved it as well.
Very stable and kick turns in a dime.
I've had it in waist to head high and works a treat.
Yeah, one happy camper right here.
All I need is some swell, been very flat here the last couple of days.
Are you back on the water yet?

Just back from another fun week at Beachport, sailed at the lake on Saturday, was tops, Gemma planing (also cuaght her first wave on Thursday!), Chris defying gravity and Kym styling as usual, Jamie was going nuts with his slalom gear, I am pretty sure he said he racked up 60 nautical miles on Saturday afternoon, he has the GPS bug bad (great to cath up with you Jamie, that rig you have is sweet, thanks for the spin! - also thanks for showing us 'that DVD', some killer action!)
I surfed at 3rd ramp on Wednesday with our new toy, 10'6 Fanatic SUP, bloody awesome fun, had another turn with it today at the surfers beach at Beachport, not sure that the local kids knew what it was, they didnt seem to mind me snaking them for the bigger sets :)
