Pallarenda, QLD, AU:Lightwind session ++. Tried out a Jag 125 with 9.5 OD- intitially waaaayy too little wind for anything but dredging then just as I was about to derig ...11-12 kots of seabreeze. Nice session after that!

Holloways with Benny....who was out sailing when I arrived and was still sailing when I had washed up.

Great effort Benny in very light conditions.....maybe be better tomorrow!!

Holloways Beach, QLD, AU  Was too nice a day not to be enticed out onto the water, albeit with very light wind conditions...  Had to head out a bit dredging before getting up on the plane, then more dredging in between a couple of runs. 

Freddo then joined & looked to find it a bit of a challenge also- big kudos goes out to the man still managing to get up on the plane with his 6.6!!! 

Lots of sea life present out in the crystal clear water past the brown line.

Noticed the board felt a bit flappy on the last run back to base.  Thought it may have been due to the light conditions, but on inspection when derigging, we discovered my current favourite light wind board's base had totally delaminated!   Gaz turned up with impeccable timing during his weekend bike ride for a quick chin wag and kindly conducted a quick inspection-  unfortunately it's not looking that promising.  A last ditch effort may proceed at the Board Doctor's shed in intensive care...  Nothing to lose were our collective thoughts...

In the meantime, I've quickly decided it may be time to invest in another light wind board, yippee!!!   So if anyone has some suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

Might have to blow the dust off some ol' gear for tomoz if there's any breeze about.
