Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Myself if yesterday is a guide I would stick more south of the city. It was great bump and jump conditions, with a bit more south direction. It was not a seabreeze wind, but the wind strength was affected by the coming and going of the clouds. If the sky is more clear like it is now maybe the city might bring a bit more. Will have to wait an see and use today as another guide.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Please note; this is not a WV event and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.

Stepped outside the office and nearly got blown over!

Winds up!

There is a lone windsurfer out at Elwood on the webcam.

I am seriously p1ssed off... why is it that the wind is around when I am sick with some dodgy virus from some dodgy character(s) at work...... RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA.......

I wish you all a good sail - I'm cranky and jealous.

No condom. No sex.

this weekend?

friggin nowhere.
Anyone want a brand new DOA $3,500 JP funster garden ornament?

sorry, rant over.

enjoy your sail wherever you go.

DOA?

Insured? Did you buy local?

picked up like that personally from the shop.

Only found out when I wanted to give it a wash to get some of the shop scuff marks off it.

it is going to be replaced, but it's slowly starting to annoy me after 2 weeks...

ask them to give you one of their rentals or demo stock. at least you will get out on the water.

I was starting pretty much again.
New board, complete 6m rig, wetsuit and boots. $3.4xx k done.
1980's pastel blue wetsuit didn't fit like i remember it used to..

Had a superb blast at Dendy St for a couple of hours - from about 5 -7pm. Initially rigged my new 5.8 Koncept but a bit small so went for the 6.6 Koncept with my 104L JP slalom and it was perfect! Sunny, warm, and no-one else out there! I normally don't like to sail alone in case of breakage (me or gear) but there were hundreds of clubbies out practicing a hundred metres or so downwind - I'm sure they'd have rescued me.

I love Dendy St - grass for rigging, free parking, shower and toilets, even a drinking fountain, and a nice mix of flat water and rollers. And very scenic with all of those little beach huts catching the late afternoon sun.

thats a really good idea. I would be going off my t!ts at them for that amount of money.

try and get them to chuck in a old second hand smaller sail too for all the hassle youve had from them. (4.5-5m) cos you gonna need it.

if you nicely kick up about it, they probably will do this.

Another session at Elwood with Jman etc today. A bit lighter than yestrday, but good to practice for the Break Water Beacon race

Yep, really enjoyed that!

Great sail chasing Mat and Rupert up and down St Kilda beach. Can hardly believe my luck - two good sessions two days running!

saw a few guy's out at dendy st which made me very happy.

i've been watching the kites thinking "well maybe it's time to try that again"

you guy's put me straight back in track and only 3 weeks until my gear arrives
