Great turnup

Sandstone delivered. Flat water and steady wind for the racing. Then the afternoon blast

Most of the car parks taken up by us windsurfers

Had a go on Morgan's Rio long tail. What an experience wide stable and easy to plane - just the sort of board us larger improvers enjoy

I recorded 7.9knts coming last in the racing 16knts in the afternoon on the phantom with 7m sail. Then went out on Petes free formula board with 8.5 and recoded 18knts then backed it up with 16knts on Morgan's Rio

Loving the feedback I'm getting from the GPS LogIt app

Cheers Jeff

Great pic's Morgan. Brings back fond memories. Started my Windsurfing journey on Bribie Island back in 83. Used to sail over to Sandstone to get some flat water as the passage got pretty hairy with an out going tide and a SE breeze. Sandstone wasn't developed back then. Hope to get back to Qld one day.

The Pebble Beach - Sandstone pt subcommittee met today for some gentle sse wind flat water sailing

The morning commenced with Pat giving tips on effective RKC approve kettle bell thrusts - we all need to develop our 'pumping' power






Mal served up some nice treats for morning tea care of woollies bakery. Brad has combed gumtree and secured another f2 lightening- jealous!!! Tony rigged his $50 raceboard sail and it looks good. Me - a little fatigued from yesterday's gym decided to get lots of cold water and uphaul practice

A great morning with friends




Cheers Jeff

Ps Dag 'darren' sent his apology for the meeting - had home duties ;-)

Great day & great afternoon of wind (after Jeff left!!)

The Falcon was even spinning out. Had the dagger baord down at one stage & it took off like it was a hydrofoil!

Looking forward to next time.

Great day, pity you missed the wind Jeff. That won't be a problem with those new pumping skills. Looking forward to the next session
