Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Hopefully we get some form of Seabreeze or change on Saturday more than forecast.

Myself:
Saturday morning I'm buying my wife a wetsuit so she can get back in to windsurfing when we head to Inverloch in couple weeks. In afternoon after our big garden works if the wind does get up even to 15 knots I will sail locally or at Elwood.
Sunday does not look great, so I might continue working on the house for an up and coming birthday party for my wife and her family visit. Then go to Parkdale Yacht Club to discuss future windsurfing events about lunch time.

With regards to the informal clinics on the bay, if we don't get much wind for the weekend we will have to once again put it off until hopefully next weekend. Keep an eye on this post and future 'Where are you Windsurfing this Weekend' posts.

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

I may have cursed the wind for a bit......]

I think I'm the jinx. I got a new (to me) board a few weeks ago and there has been no wind, except last weekend when my car decided to not work. Just got it fixed yesterday and no wind again

With all these confessions going on I think Stephen has become our Father Confessor.
So I will start

Bless me father for I have sinned.
I put a fin in that was too small on the day but because it was a C3 it stuck and I went fast[}:)]
On another day I put a crappy fin in that was too big and I went fast but out of control
Then when Ian and George where distracted I tied bricks to their fins so they would not beat me on their GPS's
Oh and do not mention Drift, I have done some shocking things to him. He complains that the noses on his boards keep cracking .... well.... hmmm....
Richie, well you see I doctored his gps that show all his tops speeds as spikes/catapults

How many hail marys do I have to do and how much in the poor box Father?

My son Doug. One hail Mary every day until Tuesday.
With regards to the poor box. You have offered so much for our great sport so need to add to the poor box.

In the old days my mates from the old Gnotuk Rubbers or was it Wankers. We use to do a wind dance. When we were staying at Sandy Point there was the occasional sacrifice.

Father please forgive me because I dreamed of kitesurfing the other day

You are so going to hell its not funny!!!

I bought a new freestyle board and encouraged a mate to buy a new board....

Well I haven't done anything. So why should I suffer with you lot of bad mother f**kers. And I still cant go 30 knts +.

Perhaps gentlemen, we may need to take the lightwind option to practice our Longboarding skills. Like maybe riding the wally on the rail whilst doing the splits and devouring a Half Double Decaf Latte with a twist of lemon. Big comp coming up and we sure don't wanna be shown up at the home break. I will be sailing (hopefully) for the first time in 6 weeks after the shoulder mishap.But Sunday only

Just been speaking to Drift and he raises an interesting point. Since we all have confessed our inappropraite behaviour the wind conditions have got considerably better. Perhaps we should make this a monthly event
