Still chilling on Bribie. Probably go for a sail tomorrow.

Happy Easter SS'ers
Honking at the Lake. Started on the Overdrive 8.6, ended up on my new Ezzy 1.0. (thanks Jason)
Should have been here!!!

Sorry for the no show Darren. Had to leave paradise early

Had a blast these last three days and will defiantly be back for more. Great location and friendly locals!

cheers, Todd

Do the prawns and have a resty poo Darren. Forecast is looking good for the rest of the week at Sandstone and the tides are in the afternoon and getting bigger.

See you and Maryana when you're next up Todd, Saturday is only 4 days away

I see the green arrow's!!!
I'm feeling naughty. Better get stuff done tomorrow.

What's he doing at Turners Camp after dark with his "fanny"????????

I can't wait to hear how he like's the new board and fin. He must be chomping at the bit.

Beautiful at the beach but just not enough wind or water for me

Adam and I both rigged 8.5 and I watched Adam slogging on his GO as the tide dropped and packed up. He was starting to get a few long runs in on the last of the tide as the wind started to pick up but it was all over for me. Tomorrow looks really good.

On my way. Look's great!! Going to be a good one both sides of the low at Bongaree.
Perfect tides, and wind angle. Should be dead flat. Can't sail the afternoon at Sandstone due to appointment.
Work tomorrow.

Very low afternoon high tide today with conditions as good as it gets at Sandstone. Usual midweek suspects with Adam, Jeff, Mark and Pirate Pete driving up to his old stomping ground from the deep south. I got there at 2pm and there was only 10kn of wind so I rigged a 7.5 hoping it would hit 15 at least and then the wind came in really good, I de-rigged the 7.5 and rigged a 6.1 and the wind dropped off, I de-rigged the 6.1 and rigged the 7.5 and then the wind came in good again. I said stuff it, I'm just sailing and sailed the 7.5 a little overpowered here and there but great fun. Forgot to turn my watch on both sessions so only got part of a track to upload. Tried Pete's 49cm slalom fin for the first time and it's really good so SOLD, it should go good with sails up to 7.5m and the 59cm slalom fin I got off Dieter should be good for the 8.5m and 10m sails in light wind. Both Pope John and Darren convinced me to leave the freeride fins in the car and go with slalom fins. Should be great again tomorrow arvo too.

Hi guys, way off your topic. Ive got an old Bic Metal Rock. looking for a US box slalom style fin longer than 30cm. Anyone have anything suitable?

Mate I had the same problem with my Speed, (which I sent you a message about).
I tacked some bits of scrap steel to my steel bench and a guide over the top of the base either side for the router to run along and re-shaped a tuttle fin. worked a treat.

Adam's bull shark looks a bit puny compared to the one in Lake Macquarie

Maryana's birthday today so both took the rest of the week off to windsurf. Had RQ beach to ourselves this morning. Plenty of wind for us beginners. Offshore at times so those upwind tips came in handy! Plan to get away early for the high tide at Sandstone tomorrow. Hope to see some of you out on the water over the weekend.

Not sure how i'm gunna go. I'm trying to get in front of everything in case the condition's come good and the planet's align for good tides at Burrum Fri 5th through to Sat 13th.
Also too close to assignment deadline to sail tomorrow. Wish I could have it all!
