Where is every one windsurfing this weekend?

Myself:
Saturday – After some morning family duties, I'm off down to my local beach Bonno.
Sunday – Will depend on if I can get out in the afternoon, if so then my local again.

RYE , Long runs, bump and (and fall over), jump (and fall over) a bit of wave , - its been a while .....

Leeward side of local breakwater (Portland - faces east/west) if the wind comes through as it's promised!

Rye I think at midday. I think it's cold enough to maintain a good wind down there.

Excuse my ignorance (I've just escaped from across the border) but isn't Rye dead onshore in a Northerly?
Anywhere that offers some sideshore wavesailing in a Northerly?
Cheers,

Where do you guys go at Bonbeach?

What are the chances Sunday willl be a repeat of yesterdays no show?

No show here yesterday either, wind gone now...and the 30kt forecast for Tues & Wed just downgraded by half!

Upside is, boat's primed & ready for tuna fishing next weekend...and sup's still on roof racks from yesd'y!

If anyone wants me, I'll be sup'ing off our local for the next few hours in nil wind...I've already traded in one w/s board for a sup...other 2 w/s boards & sails going soon.

Might as well only have toys that the conditions allow me to play with!

Kicking myself I didn't take the sup down to Rye yesterday. The surf beach looked very sup'able.

Saturday was OK at Brighton: www.peterskiteboarding.com/2011/05/brighton-beach-great-to-be-on-water.html

But Sunday was better: www.peterskiteboarding.com/2011/05/better-wind-at-brighton-nice-speed-day.html

Water and wind was quite warm and it wasn't too crowded. Great to get on the water after a couple of weeks with no kiting.

6.6 Koyote and RRD FSW96 at Green Point on Saturday, 1 till 3.30, was good. Today again on the Lov Mus Large and a brand spanking KaRace 7.1 , a few good runs before the wind crapped out. Nice sail!!!! it,s a keeper.
