Just had my best wave sail for this season and ain't I feeling smug.

The wind was lightish and the swell had plummeted from yesterday, but I planed for most of the session, even did a couple of little jumps.

Best of all was I managed to fluke a ball tearer homey which I managed to get 3 top and bottom turns on then managed to plane almost all the way into shore.

One happy little Elmo

Life is good

First day back, got down to Pinnaroo, set up and breeze dropped back to 12-13 2-3pm
Didn’t even touch the water, what a complete piss off
Comments to myself went sort of
#@$%$##%% wind @#$$%%% never here when I want it@#$%$##$$ bloody down haul playing up "again" (forgot to change old rope out)
Second hand free ride JP board looked good few wanted to know if I wanted to sell,give them a call(hav'nt even got it wet yet)
Got home, checked site breeze back at workable by 4.30-5pm, but by then I just wasn’t in mood to buggerise about.
Checked your area, yep looked OK
Week coming looks OK up here, hope I don’t do any damage

**** off you whining ****s

I always whined about the wind a lot till I broke my ankle, missed the whole season and now get on here twice a day (when I'm not sobbing in the corner). I'd kill to go out in 12-15 on my wave gear in 1ft waves (sob sniffle )

Just emphasizing your predicament

we do feel sad for you.

I roughed it out this morning going for a dawny. The swell had plummeted from yesterday but still fun and I look at the forecast and we have 15-20 this arvy with the breeze already turning.

How cool is that

Thats cool, being a bit too optimistic about 2 sessions today.

Earning brownie points instead, worked out what I need for retaining wall, fixed Tracey's headlights, now I'm of to fill up her car, may have to take the scenic route past the beach

Did you manage to shoe horn your way through the pack this morning?
