Hey tassie crew

has anyone ever sailed bluff reef before? I sailed it today and it was ****ing unreal! 3/4 mast high sets and cross off ENE 20 knots

i don't know if I just fluked it but it was one of the best sessions I've had in the last few years. Anyone else sailed it before? It was down the line heaven
such a fast wave

A guy got barreled there on a sailboard in the early 2000s and the inter state crew have attacked it a few times as far as I know. Looks bloody good today ??

sounds like I might have scored it then! I surfed it in the morning then the wind blew and I sailed it all arvo it was epic!
i'll be Back!

PS - reason for the post was to see if anyone had sailed it before, I'd heard of BOL, greens and bluff beach but never bluff reef

cheers
i love your windy state

Nice score. NE is less frequent. More common to sail S-SSW seabreeze. Less chance of a visit to the rocks!
Pic below was a very light day.

Yeah I realised this after I posted. My mates surfed bluff reef a lot when we lived there and always raved about it.

Don't think so. Haven't wave sailed since I moved to Brisbane :( keen to get going again though!

Back in 1991 when the nationals were held at Marrawah quite a few sailed it on one of the lay days.
It was SSW 10-20 knots and a bit of a dogfest but some good rides were had with(surprise surprise), Mark Paul a standout, I've got a fair bit of it on video taken by a pro who was there.
