South Yunderup, WA, AU    Pat SL92, SCR 6.3, FF Swoody 22

Bit of a wobbely drive down to Yunderup due to my head needing another infusion of botox to ease the weirdness thats going on inside. It had to be done though as I couldnt let Fangy down. HE had a cunning plan, I would do my best to do an awesome hour and he could pick up a jelly bean. Sorry mate I only managed an average one but it could still be a jelly bean for now. One of the rare winter days when all the holes in the cheese align and the only thing that nearly threw it off its axis was the ammount of weedbergs and their density. I managed to sail from start to finish without an off though some of the berg encounters were bloody scary, that was untill I went too close to the island on the way in and smaked my kidney area into the mast when i ran aground. I managed to keep planing in all my jybes but one, where I had to take avoiding actoin to miss a berg during the flip. There were also a few runs where I was a little underdone but cant complain as its the best hour I have done in some time.

If that wasnt a top ten Fangy day nothing ever will be, it was so much fun !!!

Woke up feeling alittle on the rough side sore throat and tight cough what could be better than a sail at the local, choppy conditions massive rain squalls and Dave to deal with. I just about lasted 4 runs..

Hope the board isnt to badly damaged Dave,    AND IT wasnt me!! 

Nice going in yudyup fellas tasty hr RogCool and lots of weedburgs down here too..

South Yunderup - Boombas run with Swindy. First up, i am too lazy to type all the location too often so I am just going to abbreviate it to Yun-bas.

Second, massive kudos to Swindy who was a man on a mission today and forgot to pack his self-preservation gene kit and was absolutely charging to get his hour.... Story below. 

 

By the time I got to Yun-bas, Swindy was already on-site and doing circle work in the grass, thinking he was walking in a straight line. After a quick discussion on rigging, I decided to whack up the Koncept 6.6, Barge, FF24 combo, on the basis that it’s a long way back if the wind drops out and you are underdone on volume. I probably should have gone with the little Windtech as I was either powered or overpowered the whole time and struggling with the Barge a bit. ( Actually, I should get off my arse and pick up my Missy Flow from Remery as it would have been ideal ).

 Swindy left the shore as a squall came through and simply disappeared going South at a serious clip. I didn’t realise how brave/stupid he was until I followed him a little while later. The tide was perfect and the water unbelievably flat in places. This also meant it was shallow in places and I didn’t ever make it past the island without clipping the bottom and grinding to a halt. Apparently, Swindy made it out the first time, but on the way back in decided to launch himself over the handlebars by getting overzealous with his plough.

 

 

Once past the island, it was kilometres of flat water. The only problem was there were enough serious weed burgs to take out the Titanic. I spent a couple of runs trying to find a good path, but regardless of where I went, there were enough sphincter tightening moments for me to wimp out and never really put the power down. The really big bergs were like islands, but the ones that were just subsurface, that you could not see, were the problem. Even my trusty FF24 got snagged heavily enough on some of the bergs to make the session an adrenaline-fuelled ride between exhilaration and terrifying sphincter moments. 

 

 

The outside run was the worst as the outer bergs are always the heaviest. I had decided to do several passes just to the lee of some of the big ones, thinking that the water would be clear of weed. I got that bit badly wrong.  

Swindy appeared to be doing runs closer to shore, so I decided to follow him in, all the while a little unsure if I was going to run out of water. It turned out that the close shore run was the least weedy and consequently the least smooth.

About halfway between the shore and outer bergs was the Goldilocks zone and Swindy had the pedal down, back and forth, like a metronomic man possessed. I am really keen to see what his Hour score was, as to me it looked like he was hitting PB territory.

 I was only able to fit a shortish session in time-wise, but I was getting tired from being overdone anyway, so I headed back just as the hour ticked over. I didn’t have the right combo today, but given the chance on a smaller board and fin, along with some bigger cojones, it would have been one of the best winter sessions at Yun-bas I have had, but instead, it was just a Top Ten Fangy Weed burg festival of fun.

Coodanup, warp 5.7, isonic 87, BPWS25 First time out on the repaired Isonic and first time with this fin. This combo went well and I will certainly start to use it more often. The old warp 6.3 has been my favourite sail since I returned to windsurfing and I set all my PBS using it. However it has started to show a lot of signs of wear including the luff panel delaminating. I went over the front from a water start with the effect of splitting the sail from mast almost all the way across. Still managed to get going on the way home as the old girl had her final sail.

Yummy look at all dem beans. Thanks Rog :-)

(I will enjoy them for the next few minutes before someone "worthy" posts...Not looking at you Sir Sludge The Unworthy Foot in mouth )

I love it when a cunning plan, crossed with a big serve of lazy, comes together so well. Congrats on that hour Swindy, you deserved it, going so hard in the scary bergs!

Fourth best hour and second best on the FF22. It was so much fun, well worth the winding and the serious spin in the head when I finished. Do it all again on Tuesday if the forecast doesn't change.

I was surprised that was my fastest nm. I didn't do many bear aways today but some runs felt faster.

Great hour Roger and perfect back up from Fangman. Yep weed burgs were huge at Coodanup today although I must of hit at least a couple at 30kts plus and I didn’t feel them.

     Graet effort lads    Cool      

   I rushed out to coodanap to have a look when Yoyo messaged how good it was,,,, forgetting half my stuff

(harness, wetty & a few other things),,, oh well, but it was a bit cold,????  Yoyo had a 38 point something, 38.2 I think.

So Jonski, nice to see you got a 38 as well, as I saw you disappear into the rain squall,!! just befor I left.

Just been having a closer look at John's sail. Pretty sure Duct tape will fix that.
