You must have some pretty small gear if you didnt get a sail in on the weekend. Had a good session on sat arvo at boggy around 13 to18 knots definately not the 22 knots forecast but still sailable. saw a few out at seacliff today looked alright.

Seacliff was flat but a bit of fun on Saturday - couple of hours of blasting - Seaford yeterday arvo was great fun as well - didn't stop planing for 1 1/2 hours till after 4 - then it got windy again when the sun came out, a small few back hand waves and some nice little jumps on the way out through the main peak - wasn't 4 foot cross off but was good fun - but as usual sailing alone on the mid.

I sailed Kent Res Sat am - 6.0 86L - was awesome! No one else around - not even a kiter! Plenty of 1 m faces to jump out by the reef that was sucking dry. Got some good backside cutbacks and some clew first frontside riding as well. Nice freestyle - pirouette, carving 360, monkey gybe practice on the flat water inside - too - shame my strike rate isn't too high though - stayed dry on one pirouette only! For those not in the know - look for pure S'ly for Kent to fire. Fantastic waves breaking on Suck rock also when the rebound from Granite Island meets a new set wave coming in across the reef - very artistic, but I think unrideable. I wonder if anyone has ridden any of the mysto reefs out there too - but then again 'tis the sharky time of year....

Looking at your seabreeze name and your post I think we could class this as irony

English students may wish to correct me!

Well last night was great fun at Seacliff. Sailed for one hour in 23 to 25 knots on my 4·7. Not a boring week after all. Good to see Chris and Russ.

Have a good Christmas everyone!

3 poles was fun too... all to myself.
Someone was out at U-turns, looked a bit like Rhyles out on the water. Has he changed his comode in for a 4wd?



yeah Muzza - he got a cruiser I think -

I would've joined you at the mid like I had originally planned - but the BOM site was showing wsw before I left work and low tide at 230 - sailed seacliff instead - good fun though -

did it go sthly - at least you would've got a couple of bigger lumps to launch off and a few more waves than seacliff was flat as a pancake on the inside.
