seriously pissed

Had to leave the green point to have lunch just as it picked up.

Had been there from just after 8am watching the mirror flat water. How can the BOM cock up the arrival of a weather system by five hours when they make the forecast three hours before?

Had the best windsurf today. I got to rye after 12 and then the wind came up about 15-20 knots. And a few times I was over powered on my 5.4 alpha wave sail. It was such a awesome day. Super windy and not to cold. It does not get much better than that. There were about 10 windsurfers to 2 kiters. Wonder where everyone was?? good to see some of the inverloch crew there wonder what happend to crowman.

must admit tho it was a unusal day. I did a early wind check in the morning. I looked out me window while I was in bed about 7am and could not believe how still the trees were and it was real sunny. Amazing and still got to wavesail g i love victorias weather.

Windaddict your a gun windsurfer dude you pulled off some nice jumps. Hey see ya there next weekend dude that will make it our 4th week going for our record. And if it blows tomorrow i will be back in the afternoon. If not see ya next week end.

this time of year it has been alot colder i dont think it was to bad. I had booties and a 4/3 on. G booties are to windsurf with dont think i will wear em next weekend

It got up to around 30 knots between 3 and 4pm yesterday! Don't think there is going to be anything today though....




Wayyyyyy too early to call it, but next Sat is look promising on the graph today

It was a long wait but worth it in the end. Only downside was the webing that holds the mast plug on my sail snapped, resulting in a walk up the track from the pier back to the car park the wind was fading by that stage so not to pissed.

Pretty gusty at the top end of the bay (williamstown) yesterday with some big holes in the wind. It was like sailing in an ice coffee big M with the dredge doing its thing when you entered the shipping channel. I rigged a 6.6, went from underpowered to outta control (for me) on a few gusts.

Looking forward to getting a sail at rye one time then getting some waves on the other side.

EJ - did you stick around?

Only just - about 1/2 hour after you left the wind started to come through. I was out for a while on the 6.5m until it got too strong and i was out of control. A combination of the wrong gear for the conditions made me head in. Was going to setup the smaller gear but decided to call it quits. Looked as though everyone was enjoying the stronger conditions..... if only you had stuck around for that extra 1/2 hour :)

EJ. You should of setup the smaller gear, we never know when the next good day will be in this crazy sport

I brought a 08 Ka Koncept 6.6 - 3 cam race sail last spring but i never use it. I did not even bring it yesterday. only brought one sail, one boom, one mast and board now thats what i call windsurfing.

I sail with only one sail most of the times now a neilpryde Alpha 5.4 on shore wave sail the best sail in the world. I love it, its me best mate

awesome, mtbing a cool non wind sport. good thinking crowmen. i have not riding my giant atx 460 mtb for agers. i use to be out there every weekend at lysterfeild and riding around the dandenongs. i will have to get me mtb out of the shed sometime and head for the hills. use to love mtbing, i miss it abit

At the moment my second hobby is flying RC helicopters. I went down to the local oval and did some flying with me bro. i love flying helis as much as windsurfing its a LAMA V4 heli.

I think ya need a non wind hobby or you go nuts. I hate been stuck with weeks of no wind and have nothing to do.

Funny i saw the guy who runs vic windsurfing down at the oval with his van dune the week wich had starboard stickers on the side of it. i think maybe his son was playing soccer with the club.
