Good luck peoples.

Hopefully it all lines up and is manageable.

Look forward to seeing some big numbers

Hi Aus02.

I checked out your photos. Those spots look great for flatwater windsurfing and so much wind! Honestly I haven't seen that much wind since I began sailing regularly from last October. However that tussocky grass looks a little foreboding as in cold environment.

If you can sail behind one of those sandbars it will be fantastic. That sort of wind would be way too much for me in an open bay, let alone the open sea.

Yeah, pretty windy the day most of those photos were taken. Should be even windier tomorrow. Hopefully get out somewhere.
