What a pleasant surprise. After having a hiatus for what seems like an eternity, we finally had 8hrs of some decent breeze. Kicked of at 8am this morning and continued into the afternoon. Tried to catch up with Freddy earlier in the morning but to no avail...to many family chores/appointments, but we finally made it at 2pm. Due to the the lack of TOW, was some what sceptical as to how long we were going to last in the typical Holloways slop.
Ended up having the seasion with Firie and followed him on one of his "DOWNWINDERS"...didnt understand how far downwind he actually went to get his speeds. My only prob was the short sharp upwind leg to actually line up with the beach on the run in..any way, needless to say nothing ventured, nothing gained. 21 k's and I was shot...welcome to summer time fitness I guess.
Good to catch up with Firie, Freddy and Kel later in the arvo - I am feeling for you mate.

Shoulda, woulda coulda if my fitness was better, when the gusts came through there was plenty to get better speeds but my nutsack kept hitting me in the back of the head trying to knock some sense into me. Water was a rough but the direction was good to align the swells up. Happy Kel was a no show as he would have creamed me.
When I got to the beach at 2PM, Freddy said a guy called Serg (another Doc) said he was sailing to the reef and headed off over the horizan first run, never came back to his car and wasn't seen since he took off, I rang 000 after 5PM and went home, hope he's ok
