Kyeemagh NE 20-25 knots, a bit gusty

JP Slalom 84, Loft O2 5.9, 30cm Select Viper fin

A great day out with a few roaches and double demerits. It was a late start for the seabreeze, but it seemed to kick in around 2 and build slowly. it was pretty bumpy today and the runs upwind weren't that smooth, so I'm absolutely stoked to get a 30! I had 4 2sec peaks over 30, and only one was right upwind. The others were out in the main drag. It's a bit unnerving screaming through the crowd at 20 degrees off their course. Great day!!!!

N/E ster was building nicely. Great day with lots of people out.

Bit slow and variable to start...but kicked in noicely!

On the RRD 155 with 5.8m Gunn & 38 Maui.

Top session Mike.

Thanks for your help DaveEmbarassed

Kyeemagh. Arrived late and had the JP Slalom III 89, KA Koncept 5.8, Goldwing 32. Great quick session before the sun died. Found a new rigging place near the boat ramp.

Not so good to start out with but once the high cloud pissed off it was noice. Fully powered but not too many runs into the flat spot. Managed a couple and it felt good. Bloody strong at times and then it backed off.

Great to see a lot of cockies out today even though we were that far apart. One or two should post from the pond today.

Best part for windsurfing was that there were over 30 sailors out today and with the amount of new gear WSS has on the water its a good sign.

Bad part was the absolute no idea that most showed with windsurfing etiquette on and off the water. People just leaving their gear anywhere they want and not knwoing what damage it can cause. Guys just going too close, not looking down wind or upwind, no idea of port or starboard and a complete lack of not giving a s**t about what they did.

Sorry about the rant but if Kyeemagh is any indication its just getting out of hand.

Falcon 111, 6.7 RSR Evo 1, JP 36cm.

as mike said with the conditions.

Started on the JP 118 SS and NP 6.5. Changed down the to the JP Xcite 110 and NP Combat 5.3 just as the wind got patchyCry. Again made more jibes than not and felt better with them. Managed a few in the middle of the bay with the chop  Laughing

Great stuff Dave! You must be getting used to the JP FSW to get PBs. I didn't get much of a cance to catch up today, but I saw you out on the JP, so you must have been having fun. How did you cope with one crushed foot and one twisted ankle?

Great hour on the JP really starting feeling comfy (I love this board) , no spin outs today!

Injuries held up pretty well - A bit worried about Pete he was in a bad way with his back - carried his board up the ramp for him.

Pete if you check this post let us know how your getting on!

About to have a shower then its time for a nice cold beerTongue out

Dave (F) ...I think we will be using that rigging spot up near river entrance, or the beach over near old control tower,  when the pipe laying starts.

Good numbers
