Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Myself:
Saturday – At the SHQ garage sale in the morning and their relaunch party at night. I've I'm lucky a sail in the afternoon, but may have give up Saturday for a Sunday sail.
Sunday – Maybe a sail at Mount Martha.

Refer to the extract from BOM forecast below for Port Philip Bay.

Please note; these are not Windsurfing Victoria Inc organised events, and this post is to be used as information only. The intent of this post is for windsurfers to post where they could be going to windsurf this weekend and for other windsurfers to possible come and join them.

Mt Martha, Safety Beach or Inverloch Sunday..... unsure at the moment. Depends on direction come Sunday.

Maybe Ricketts saturday arvo for the westerly before the SHQ party, sunday safety beach is good on a westerly and still good if it swings sw.
I hope the forecasts hold up.

Can you promise at least 20 knots? ...if so, I'm there!

Last night at SHQ and SBHQ relaunch party was once again a great success.
Today we have plenty to choose from; SHQ garage sale, VWS comp at Torquay, KA speed fortnight at SP finishes up, and some local sailors heading to Safety beach.

It hurts.

Nice - A more flattering angle given the water temperature, hail, 30 knots wind and general lack of genetic blessing anyway.

Thank you for the tits. They are still on the van.

Also thank you for your insight on Saturday morning...

"You're dehydrated. How can you be dehydrated? How old are you? 33.. Exactly you're not old enough to be dehydrated.."

Thank you H2O for organising an awesome weekend.

Thank you weather god person for providing us with strong winds all weekend (though an easterly would have been nice on saturday and maybe a SW on Sunday with a low tide at around 4pm... but who's complaining)

Thank you to the locals in the Austral on the way for tolerating my Kareoke and for joining in with the groping.

Contrats Ginger

A couple from down at Safety Beach today.

It would be interesting to do a census on a weekend like this. There were around 11 at Ricketts this arvo (and others had left before I got on the water). Ricketts was pretty nice on 4.5 for a 90kg bloke, though a fraction more north would have been good.

Ricketts was great again on Sunday although up and down a little like everywhere else. I sailed approx 2 hours flat out from 11:30, unfortunately had to leave for familly duties. Two days in a row only 3 minutes from home, not bad. Direction was good IMHO.

Sunday-About 6 at Inverloch....lumpy as!
Wind went from 5-30 knots, but hey, getting wet was the priority!

Census - Sunday the Island, Surfies Point, 15-30knts, good size swell. 1 windsurfer, 3000plus bikes, a few aircraft passing overhead and one pissed off wet dog.
