well done on the pbs fangman...

Well done on the PB's Fangman,    Looks like I need to put a Jue Jue on the fin as well That orta slow you up a tad.

Reckon you woulnt have gone near the place, but for my guru remedy for the boom clamps. You woulda been hanging around home with ice packs on your coit from all the prangs So all in all its thanks to ol Mineral for your bunch of PB's then. Na, no need to thank me, just have a cold shandy on me next time you go near the fridge

Oh and G'day to Decrepit n Dot over there at LG, sounds like you are haveing a grand time.

WooHoo Fangy You're a Star

Hardie I look forward to the day when I can get two 39's on the dial and still say it was a bad day.

I enjoyed chatting to you anyway.

Fangman, Congrats on the 2 PB's. I actually didn't enjoy myself most of the time today either and was thinking I prefer Coodanup.

Well done Ross looks like you were fanging out there and great speeds from the rest of you fellars 

Ross - PBs again - super stuff

Cracked the 35! Well done, Fangman!

Hardie! What are we going to do with you? Once upon a time almost 40 knots would have seen you bouncing off the walls.

Ricey hit 35+ at 70+ years of age yesterday. You are never too old! Time for a bionic Hardie?

The joy of: Bender; Anita/wxtcy; Penny/gspeed; chrisso/snutz; duffy; sammy; claude; istak; damo; fattmat; shane; fangman; geoff ; ricey & jayrey & anyone I forgt needs to be the focus of yesterday and TODAY = WOO HOO AWESOME

I know what you mean Steve. I got a PB and two second bests but I never really enjoyed it either (aside from that one run) because it seemed there was so much more there than I was finding.

Well done Fangster amazing 5X10, Got to come come an crowd out Fangland one of these days.

Big congrats Fanger 

Enjoyable read guys 

Salty you are welcome to come and take pics.And yes two people out here makes it a crowd. Seriously though - its shallow, real shallow so yes its smooth but you really cant have a crack on fins bigger than a low 20's or less, which is why the Deltas work well here.Also the wind is not funnelling through here like it does at Liptons so expect a few knots less - the tradeoff would be rig slightly bigger and enjoy the groove in the smooth.

Hope your having a ball over at the lake Mike and Dot.

It sounds like conditions aren't ideal at the moment. Hope it all comes together for you, best of luck.

Thanks Chris,l it was glassy today, but only 15kts when I went out, with the big stuff, picked up later and stayed glassy, every body had a ball.

There's a great crowd here at the moment, and the conditions are better than the NSW guys are used to, so although it's not as good as last year, it's still a fantastic place.

I'm not pushing for results at the moment, just enjoying myself and dialling the gear in, I'm optimistic that the water will drop in the comming weeks, and there will be plenty of time in good conditions to go for numbers.

How long you staying then Mike ?

Not sure Firie, well into March I suspect, we've allowed 2 nmonths away. Why are thinking of joining us?

Yeh Mike, got my holidays locked in to pick up our caravan in Melbourne which has been put back a little so was thinking bugger it why not go to LG first. So at this stage a mid March sail at LG is looking good, be good to catch up

Top effort on the pb's

 "mid March sail at LG is looking good"

Be careful Mr. Firie, that late it's a lot of mud and hard work

way different to Cairns...

oh.. and Cold !

The wat the water level is now, mid march could be just right.

Be good to see you firie.

Hardie  that does not sound like the man I met last year, every one has a off day even JimBob lossses his mojo some days. BTW that shitty day you had is still faster than I have been

Fangman gr8 PB, they allways feel good

Hey Tricky thanx for the words of encouragement, much appreciated and it feels good that some people take the time out and that they care enough to respond!!  Its more than an off day, its a gradual deterioration over several years just watching and feeling my body react more slowly, accumulating injury after injury, there's a bit of greiving over what gets lost physically with ageing. I really couldnt get the small speed board going, 40 seconds of brilliant sailing out of a 4 hr effort.

However, I've been a pig at the joyful trough of windsurfing for 30yrs plus.  I 've had more than my fair share out of this brilliant sport, I just have to make an adjustment and change expectations of myself, and select gear more carefully.  But I always feel really happy when others do really well, I really enjoyed that others did so well, and If I make the right choices for myself, I can still enjoy this beautiful sport of ours immensly.

Dave/Mike, nothing ventured nothing gained, got the time and will be in area so who knows 

Hard Fella, I was going to respond to your sesson post but I'd had a couple of reds and thought it might not be the time to be funny  Next summer I'll be old, fat, retired and in WA, maybe we can hang out at the bowls club together, maybe start a Bowls Club Team Chalenge 

Hey Firie, as we get older the friendships and social side of it becomes more important and enjoyable, would love some hang out time, I think you got lotsa friends here in WA, it will be fun....... Lets make a Challenge........... That it be some sort of Social/Party Challenge........ I'm sure we'll figure something out!!!!  I reckon the Challenge will be to have 1 social gathering per week next summer, rotating thru, peoples fave venues, to peoples houses!!  Maybe we start a post on seabreeze some time on organizing it and getting ideas!!!!!!

friendships and social side of it becomes more important and enjoyable   Too true 

It's on, I love a party challenge  

Will you need a gps strapped to each and every bowl .  Man if I had half the PBs you do Hards I'd die a happy man.

Congrats on the PB's too Fangy.

Hey Snagz, I'm 54 in a coupla weeks, u got plenty of time if PB's are impt to you.   I used to be as obsessive about having a a good time partying as I am wsurfing now, and I used to travel the world and spend months partying in places like the Greek Islands, so If I put my mind to it, WE'll get some cool party fing hapnin

 who showed you the photos  I was gonna say those photos of me in 1983 on the Is of Mykonos were photoshopped, but they didnt have photoshop in 1983

Even though I become a Grand Master mid this year, I'm still all for partying hard Hardie - my gut is testament to that.  Must be an inherent thing with all those born in the sixties.
