Freo-Swannie DWer Sunday 18th

It is open to absolutely everyone and that is one of the reasons we have some safety measures in place, such as sweepers and pfds, as we do not know everyone's ability. Plus it is better to be proactive with safety rather than waiting for something bad to happen.

Anyone keen for a run this afternoon if the wind picks up?

This arvos paddle was fun. FNG forgot the keys 8 month pregnant wife had to rescue us, not amused. Welcome to dw Ben, bet you will never forget the key again. Carona thanks

haha. Cheers Hilly!
Spare key stashed....check

Love to do the Mandurah run but time restricted, looking forward to tomorrow, the new Starboard Allstar is very slippery, surprisingly stable for width, once powered up it absolutely flies they have addressed all the issues that has made previous models a handful. It's fully sick.

And the next day and the next day looking good again see you all there just got city beach nippers hope the breeze not in to early gets cold in those budgie smugglers

Just left city beach blowing 22/ 25 kn swell looking good Going to be a quick run today

ha ha you will love it Ozy

How was the Mandurah run?

Great turn out was up there with the strongest wind conditions the swani run onwards had swells foaming up all the way to floreat kent and I both had our fair share of swims the shore break was interesting to Tuesday looking good

Your right tight lines you don't wanna know. Anywhere woulda been good yesterday but mandurah was ridiculous. After cruising for 2 or 3 minutes for a warm up I looked at my watch and was averaging 12.4kph. At half way was 12.9. It wasn't a down winder, it was just surfing!!! Best run ive done but only my second season.

Thanks boys for taking me along on that Mandurah run. Sorry to hold you all up. I'm a bit embarrassed at how much harder simply staying upright was than I expected it to be. All the same, a bit of practice and get the fitness up, look forward to working it out.

As every one has said it really was all time!! I've done 4 seasons now and it was the best one I've done by far.. 21km and I'm not sore today certainly shows how much paddleing I actually did.. Sharing those runs with Hilly was such a blast almost not even paddleing...
Was great to have a crew do it also..

Woooooo still buzzing!!

Yep I pretty much knew that would be the case, I was going to try to get down there but I was just pushed for time.
We did have fun but it was still mainly paddling on the one side, I'd imagine you guys would have had the wind pretty much directly behind you on that run so I def want to try to do it sometime soon.
Unfortunately (or fortunately when it comes to morning surfs) I work a lot on weekends and get a lot of days off during the week, so if anyone else out there gets days off or early finishes midweek (tomorrow for example) and wants to catch up for a downwinder, Mandurah or local let me know I will be keen.
