Over here in Downtown Perth - blowing it's bum off here as I speak miss 'salty .... high 20's temp too plus water warm at 22 plus degrees

Given LG was a fail for me this season, it looks like I am owed a trip to Maui this winter. Thinking about a Pritchard clinic if you wanna save your coin, wait a couple of months and ride shotgun. Let me know if interested...Always cooler with a travel buddy to share the experience

What's April good for? For me a lot:
1. 1 turn 40
2. I'll turn forty in Maui on a one on one 6 day tuition with Matt Pritchard.
3. I plan on doing my first forward loop on this trip.

Best April ever!

Sounds like an ok April to me

See if you can get some footage of the build up and the defining moment and post a link on Seabreeze!!

It's good for healing up and repairing all the damage I've done in the last few months

Anyone tried wind-snowboarding yet?

Many years ago I tried an ice board ( basically a windsurf board with steel rails) . Retired though after almost knocking myself unconscious despite the motorcycle helmet. Nothing soft about ice.

Windfest! runs into April. Burrum can be good in April and there is going to be heaps going on at the event this year you should come along we need more girls on the water!

Excellent !!!
Need to improve your ice gybing skills

did i hear someone needs salt?

Obelix:
As I wear little safety gear, my tack and gybe/jibe attempts are performed VERY cautiously !!!
On the ice there is NO falling in - and so NO uphaul
just kick the board about and go = QUICK and EASY
this is done in the races on snow as well

jn1:
The beauty of sailing on the ice is exactly that - light wind days are sought !!!
Last Sunday another local said - too icy, too much wind and too cold.
Luckily I had gone in the morning with -13 degrees Celcius, ice and crusty snow with 20 to 25 kph winds
Used my ice model sled - same one as the video with an HSM Fire 6.3
In the summer I am on a large free-ride with an 8.x meter sail in those winds - 2 sizes up !!!

Locally people freak out when i tell them what i do
windsurfers say they would like to try it, but never seem to show up
