Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

Ancient seatrend, 6.6,  24MUF. Big crowd out today, all the usual suspects plus Justin & Dean from Sydney, Paul B, Paul C & Paul D. Wind a bit round to the north so not as smooth as we expect from a NE but it was strong. Great arvo 



Tibor (17557km):

Budgewoi Lake,

NSW, AU     What a great arvo that was. Forget the speed so, l tell myself. Tried the 75 wide isonic first  with 6.7 overdrive. Got only 30.95 however, the wind wasnt as strong. Then took out the old 59 wide scut down sonic and got this result. The wind picked up and possibly got stronger again but l came in. The story of my life. l did enjoy it with everyone lese. We are lucky to have this place and to get conditions like this. Yeah, the lucky country!

Falcon 79, Delta 19 and 6.6m. Spin out city at Peel st today. Fairly choppy and fairly windy. Just could find the flat water and wind combination.

Big crowd out today. Great group of guys (& Gal) to sail with.

Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU 7.6 tr9, RS2 , 22cm delta

Could only sail for 1 hr had the arvo off for my eldest son year 6 preso I had to go to, wow growing up.

Nice sail was underpowered with 7.6 it was arm chair sailing.

Sydeny had gust at 40 Nora over 30 newcastle under 20. It was all down south today hence the trip.

Nora is realy close but we had just over 20 when I was there but it did pick up as I was leaving and after I left at 3 30 every one tells me.

Great turn out unreal to see so many people out and nice shot Andy me folowing you.

Great sailing with every one.

20-25kts + Ne Peel st Budgewoi Lake, NSW, AU

 1st time on the 79ltre Fanatic Falcon - 6m overdrive then 4.8m sailworks Hucker and 19cm delta ( good fin that Greg!)

 As Eminem says ' Geez how can sh..t be so easy???!'

 B hell what a little ripper!Tongue outTongue outTongue outTongue out... I can now go upwind at similar angle to everyone else, gybes like its on rails and handles bearways in chop better than my 78ltre Pocket wave!

It's default gybe radius is much wider than my other boards ( used to waveboards) so I will have to learn to tighten them to get alphas but I did some lovely planing gybe today! pity they were too wide for alphas...I reckon they would have been 20kts +

The pocket wave would have been skittering around on the chop and spinning out bearing away in that chop ( c 4-6" ) not a lot of smooth today..

 Can't wait to get it going in some flat stuff! First time I've experience a board rising up as it takes off( up on the fin??) felt unreal..Tongue out

 Best Xmas pressie and buy I've ever had.. Only thing I don't like are the footstraps.My toes on the rear foot were killing me..not sure if I had them through too far? Just used it setup as I got it - booties on.

I'd only ever tried the 6m overdrive on the 78ltre pocket wave once - I was overpowered but it felt like sh..t.. on this one it felt great!First time I've used such a large sail on such a small board. I thought I'd struggle but no hassles.

Even overpowered on the 4.8m it was a breeze getting upwind.. very happy little vegemite..Wink Happy with that speed in the chop for the first use..

 Ok Mick how strong do you think it was? Made my 3000kms too..Wink Yep big crowd out today.

Glad you are happy with the new board Sue. Well done on the distance PB, a good indication that you were comfortable.

I think you have posted the wrong image of your track today.

Nice NM Tibor - Much better than my effort.

well done everyone.   Nice picture Andrew, doesnt look too choppy there.  Great NMs too!

Sue I'm glad you got comfy on the new board quickly but did it come with a bar of soap to wash out your potty mouth? Wink   Too much Eminem in the studio I think!  lol

Really surprised that it didnt come in up here - coal point looked like 10 knots max.   Holidays start Friday so hope to get down there over Chrissy for some glassy runs.

Yep James I suppose I should watch the language.

Great shot Andrew love the hand wave.

 I finally managed to work high enough to get to the post where everyone starts their runs .. Stoked , lovely patch of flat water so went for a gybe, flying downwind and looked up and the #@@! post was about 30' away and closing Surprised.. Had to raise the clew of the sail to avoid hitting the post and then crash..Won't do that again.. ended up about 4' from it..Laughing

Andrew said -I think you have posted the wrong image of your track today. Dur .. brains fried from too much sailing. ZZZZZZZZZZ EmbarassedFixed!

Congrats Sue on your 3000 Ks. Wind strength would not been much more than 25 at best when I was out. Norah head graph will read atleast 4/5knts more than what we get at the least.
