Sandy pt is looking great for a wave sail both Sat/Sun if anyone is interested.
Should be a fresh swell coming in Sat arvo/night.

Sat the options will be either Warratah - at 'the gap' or just in front of the life saving club. Sunday the life saving club is looking the goods..

there will be a few of us there so if anyone is interested or has any questions let me know

Green point on Sunday at the moment...

NW is ideal for green point and means a shorter swim in at the end

BOM has downgraded the forecast on Sunday from 25- 30kts to bugger all 15 kts perhaps 20 if we are lucky. May be they are wrong as usual and it's blowing instead.[}:)]

You're a minority. Personally I love the seat harness feel too. Tried to convert to a waist but ended up selling it and going back to my seat harness. It's completely personal but I love the loaded up feeling, even if it doesn't 'look as cool.'

There was over hald dozen of us at Bonbeach until the wind started to drop off at 4pm. Was good for at least 3 to 4 hours about 20+ knots from the North.
Blue skies would have been nice.
