what beach are you thinking Matt?
looks like n-nw sun..
swell is big this weekend too so sandy point could be a good head high & cross off

I personally dont have final say, thats up to the designated "windgurus"...

With all the N / NW's we've been having, Sandy Point has been discussed a few times already -> safe sandy beach, no rocks, realtively easy rigging, cross / cross-off... The only real disadvantage of Sandy Point is the 2.5hr drive from the city.

Alternatively, if its too N, there has been some discussions regarding Philip Island..

Should be good! The drive to Sandy Point isn't too bad! Looks like good NW and swell on Sunday! I assume you can sign up on the day - I haven't got around to posting entry form in...

We are kind of hoping everyone will sign up before hand, as it makes more work for us on the day.... but yes on the day is ok.

Note that to be part of the series, you will need to be a WV member (more specifically, you need AWA insurance or similar) - so you would need to sign up for that as well, if you haven't already.

Well... we were becalmed...! The only sail that got rigged, was for some SUP sailing.

That said, about 20 guys & girls turned up, most of them very good sailors... so there was definitely plenty of talent missing the big winds on the Bay.

Nearly all had a great time surfing and supping smallish but near perfect waves finishing up in warm sunshine. Would be churlish to talk down such a great day.
