Not a bad short session Sunday arvo.

A few of the regulars there, mostly the ones who can't be as picky as some.

Quite a few big swirls in the water. Saw Adam just miss a big turtle, so that is what I am telling myself the other ones were too.

Yeah, I bet I'll find something other than the bottom while I'm learning to fly.

Hi Sandstoners.
What's Sandstone point like in an easterly? Is it worth a try on Sunday?
Cheers, Ian

Bit up and down as the wind is coming over the island. Probably will be a few of is there though. If the forecast is correct (doubtful) it could still be fun.

Sure is! BUT
I just cruised down Bruce highway from Morayfield. Cops on Northbound side pulling over people towing boats n caravans. Trying to escape.
Maybe load your boards inside if possible.

Paddles hasn't been on the highway in years. Hobbits nearly never leave the Shire. We outsiders appreciate the heads up though Dark Man.

Welcome to a new member of the Sandstone crowd

Dani approached us a month ago to get started, got herself some gear and with the light winds yesterday had some awesome success with a few sails up and down the beach

Col and Nigel came along for support and a chat







Cheers Jeff

Bongaree at low tide or down at Colin spot at Banksia Beach. Bongaree no good at high tide unless you like it real rough.

OK ,
tides at Colin's spot will be good from 9 -12:30
Adam and I were thinking of a better launch spot , ( possibly , hard to say ) , at the roundabout at Sylvan Beach Esplanade and Marina Boulavade . Instead of the ****ty shelf at the end of Sunderland dr.
Cross the shark infested inlet over to the sand banks .
Good place if the wind is cranking and speed is a thing .
If it's lower wind and just a play day , I would suggest Bongaree at low tide , ( same times ), good long runs , flattish water .
Higher tide and hell breaks loose like a motocross track . Good if your the chewin tobacco type.
