it was a generalisation of the Train situation

i'm certainly not questioning your windsurfing ability but can you sing country?

i went.. and had a great time. good to put some names to faces. and got some great tips from the guys, thanks for giving me your time! was definately appreciated!

when i first got there was really choppy in the middle... well i thought so anyway.. lol, and i got flogged.. but went back out, and it settled a little bit, had a great time. even thou i spent more time in the water then above :D

oh, and btw.. that wasn't the tide going out... i think i swallowed half the broadwater in one of my stacks... salt water isn't pleasant on my tummy :(

you can add me to the list of victims of the washing machine..

also once took 15 min to manage to get the rig flying as the current just kept dragging it back down.


still, the shearwater rocks. it's all worth it.

moz... will we be seeing you today?

Hey MD,

How was the alley?

I'm so stuffed after 6 hours of 20 knots.

Was good to see some of the local crew up there enjoying the sunshine and wind, and avoiding all those kitesurfers and boats...

hey nebbian, alley was awesome, wind was 90% up the whole time, few holes like we had at shearwater, but fairly consistant.

Mate there were 10 guys out!

Nice size waves rolling thru as well, big rolling swell out the back, sailed for another 2 hours or so, so yeah mate, know what you mean about being stuffed!

Hey you have now had the experience of a bit of formation flying!

Was a good mix for the day!
