groundhog day again at Melville... but a bit less wind and full house. Lucky to score the last spot as someone had left just as I arrived (thanks for forgetting your harness or whatever it was Alex).

7.8m M112 CLSL2-30

Wicked fun with some nice challenging (it was super gusty) runs with the boys at the end.

Boobays as predicted... 24-26 knts (reading on the shore) a hour later when finishing packing I seen some 28knts

Today the run was almost at its best 85% (missing some wind at the best tide), lucky the wind came early, as I got there I rigged up and went straight away, was running a touch late, tide was perfect, going down, little hour windows to get the runs in.. hit 38 at the 2nd run, then 39 at the 6th... 7 and 8 no changes, tide started to go up, left it there.. happy with 39.. place was getting windier and choppy as the tide was coming.. made is safe so far and did not want to risk it. Seem like the warm extra salty water and sailing is helping on the healing..

The run was just faaantastic, you just know went its good, long easy run, jibe at the end, fastest run was the easiest!! Very happy, I got this spot sussed in, and building slowly the strengh again. I ll be back soon..

Would like to get some SRM here too, anyone with 4 free days, leaving on a Thu, back Sun, 3days sailing.. if you share a car its 200 bucks a head, where I stay its 25 a Night and got internet but no mobile.

Well interesting day... started on the IS86 and just wasnt really comfortable except in the gusts, so changed to the 107. In the process of this, unplugged my 86 to stick it in a parking spot to save it for Matty as he moved his van from down the road. In the two seconds it took me to move the board once he arrived, a gust came through, flipped my Relex 7 and of course, landed it right onto the upright tip of Matty's Clockwood 30 carbon fin. Lovely little incision. Oh well....patched it up with some gaffa tape and off we go again. 

Some great fun runs across to Wally World and Freshy Bay with Matty, Norts, Darryl. Super gusty though and it must have been quite amusing for the fleet of 20 yachts at Freshy to see 3 windsurfers coming steaming into their race, only to all plop into the water at the same time having sailed into some wicked boat chop and a wind hole the size of Antarctica. Great fun though...... 

IS 86 then 107, R4 7, LE weedy 32 then C3 32 for 107 ( a bit small for this board). Also had a fang on Matty's Mistral 112 which was very smooth. 

Fastest runs on the 107 thanks to a big gust out the back. GPS had 32.05 on the dial. 

A rather sub-awesome session at Melville with flat water, lots of people, patchy moderate breeze, not enough parking spots and one angry parking inspector.
