Elwood, VIC, AU

Short sail at Elwood with Evan and Steve, wind came in early and stoped early pretty much how Derek forecast to happen, great fun blasting around on the Slalom gear.

Elwood, VIC, AU

Decided to head Elwood and get the slalom kit out. I was hoping Alex was going to be there so I can beat the RussianLaughing, but i was told he has sailed his quote for this season already. Either way I had good quick sail with Jerry and Evan before the wind died out.

I had some nice up wind runs with some long down winders. This makes it 8 days straight for me. Maybe I’ll take a break tomorrow before a big News Years Day sail at home.

Elwood can have more wind, but we have been having frontly winds. So no different in wind strength, but Elwood is a lot flatter, with way less chop and mess. Don't get me wrong I like home beach more. After 30mins I was missing home sailing more fun and challenging.

Bonno vs Elwood....I think it's "Same Same but Different' ! Elwood has some good chop and swell as well as flat bits between, IMO  it's generally stronger and reliable up there in a Seabreeze and more cross shore which suits me better than the shore break with little wind to get out which I have experienced lots  of the time at Bonno in SW (and as Steve mentioned no messy chop). For me it's the same drive either way, but the chicks are definitely hotter up north which makes it worth the drive  at times for sure ;-)

And there's always the option to go across the bay if you're up for it. :-)

Certainly no flat water in Elwood, I can tell, I have just been back from Invy! 

Good to see you're grabbing a PB since you're posting again Steve, good speed too, congrats!

I think Jak hit the nail on the head by saying "but the chicks are definitely hotter up north which makes it worth the drive  at times for sure ;-)". So argument solved..... now, back to the important stuff of just having fun windsurfing where ever you prefer Smile
