orderd what i beleive was the last f-16 sic in australia, dont think ill be sleeping to good till its safely home in my shed, was compareable in price to the 17ft glide due to the strength of the aussie dollar. hopefully it is a better board than the glide ,although i did like the look of the new 17 er.should rock up just in time for the start of our windy season,last week we had a taste with a 20kn southerly, i was in bali so didnt get to kite it, all gero suppers can you please invest in some down wind boards so we can get the party started, we have some off the best conditions in the world for open ocean d winders point more to sunset, drummonds or corro will be all time, its a lonely road by yourself,if any perth crew are keen you will be welcome at my house any time theres plenty of room to roll out the swag , throw a snagga on the barbie and froth till you drop. sounds like geraldton windsurfing club is back on the agend a and will be trying to organise some casual racing,ibe thinkig ill make the effort to get down your way for the rottoevent and any others that pop up, quiver is looking goooood, SIC f-16 , hobie elite 12' 6 ' psh 12'6' gun , naish 9'6' nalu , Jl 9'1' kwad hmm and a psh 8'7 hull ripper stuck in the back of my head keepin me awake in the late of nite, must get me one of them spoilt eh. work hard play hard i say perth crew that meens you hilly ,belly, tightlines ect get a road trip happenen soon.........

Did a run a few months ago with cranky from Greenough river mouth through to the lighthouse along the outer reef. 18-20Kn southerly.
Not a true downwinder but a lot of fun on the 12fters.
Im in Cairns this week for R&R then back over to PNG for a few more weeks.

So do most of you boys go for regular downwind runs in Perth?

Have never done one as I've only done surfing or flat water cruising,but looking at getting my first DW board and would love to go out with someone for a paddle who knows what there doing as my first outing will probably be quite daunting

I have a spare Dw board you can use next time we head out. Keep a eye out and someone will post up when a run is happening.
