Coal Point, NSW, AU. SW 12-14

Stingray, Whisperer and 5.5m

Fun session with Nic. I was enjoying myself cruising around until I hit a 4" diameter 6 metre long submerged log. I crashed badly but still sliced it clean in two. I ended the session by hitting something much more solid, first things i knew I was under the water.

 Quite a few out enjoying the day, Lisa on a Fliteboard, a couple of foiling moths and as usual some dude on a wingdinger

Valentine, NSW, AU

JPHF 135 SB GTR+ SS 7.0

SSW SSE 8-12 - Gusting to 25kts on the coast so got suckered into rigging too small. Just never came in, even after it swung east. Managed to find a few submerged objects as well. With Sue!

Sunshine, NSW, AU Foil starboard coarse race 900 wing 8.9 Duotone falcon foil Nice sail before work and first foil in ages. Pretty happy with speed in a light breeze and going deep off the wind. Went all the way up to mannering park and down to bottom of Pulbar island

Patchy 5-10kts occ patches 10 -13kts SSW-S Valentine, NSW, AU

7.5m turbo- Windtech 64 ( 112ltres) - 35cm tectonic weed demon

 You've certainly got to lower your expectations at this time of year..Undecided

Forecast was for 10-23kts S and the graph showed 15-25kts SSW on the coast.Yell

I was hoping to get some video as I haven't got any of the WT57. I rigged the 7m Turbo - WT57 - 28cm WT weedy then the big kit so I could change gear if needed.

 I probably wasted the best wind rigging..Undecided

 Crap. I probably got going 3% of the time and had to bounce the board to get it going. Most of the time by the time I got going the gust would be over. The light gusty wind meant I was having trouble making it back to the launch or getting upwind.

After a couple of hours of this it turned more S and got more consistent although it was still light. I could get upwind and I got enough gusts to get some fun runs over the other side and finish up happy..Cool

 Boy I love planing..Tongue out

 Jeff on the foil and a wingfoil . Both were going well.

Some video stills. The video was taken before the wind improved.

Boy, if he can make yesterday look good  I'd love to get the video out on a good day!  Surprised 

 Sorry some are cropped distance shots so not they aren't that sharp. The video is better..
