At least Sam will get to use the JP slalom Ive been using for the last week.
It will be slalom not formula on Friday at least 
I'm in Sanctuary Point on the south coast. It's not a speed spot in a southerly, but hopefully I can get some distance points...
I was there. JP board and NP sail. Rigged the 5.7 to start and then the wind dropped. Rigged the 6.7 and then the wind dropped even further. :(
Hi Katapult,
I was on the Kona (longboard). So that means "AUS 025" was the only other I saw out. It was good for at least half an hour before you got on the water. I was on a 7.5 so wasn't too bad for me until about 1:30pm. I don't know how good that area would be for speed runs. I think you would have to be bobbing around waiting for the Southerly front to come through to get any really flat water. What do you think?
So what happened boys???
Dont tell me I had family easter stuff on all day and I missed nothing??
Not possible I reckon.
I think the other was Sick-em out there.
So David, did you get out for some runs at all????
The wind was terrible. I arrived around midday and only had two runs on the plane. The other guy out today was sick-em.
Ka43 you didnt miss much at all.
Yes the wind was disappointing. I wore my GPS had one planing run and got a speed of 20 knots. Initially the wind was strong while rigging but then it seemed to drop. I rigged a 5.9 Neil Pryde VX2. My first attempt was on a Naish board on loan from Wind Surf and Snow but it was too small and I couldn't get going. I then took the Tabou 140 out and it was the right size but a sail over 7 meters would have been the go.
Long walk home due the strong outgoing tide and the light wind meant making no headway. On the drive home it seemed windier around the airport and we saw some people windsurfing there.
Thanks Katapult, when it hit last night I thought it was going to take our roof off!!
Then to hear that it wasnt crash hot today was a bummer for you blokes.
Maybe some SE stuff tomorrow??
Yep - wasn't to bad at Kyeemagh - Had a lull at about 11am for about half an hour - then sometimes over powered on a 6.3 - sailed comfortably on the plane till 2pm.
95l + 5.5-6.0 seemed to be the combo of choice on the water.
Kyeemagh was a lot flatter (mild chop) than it is usually for that strength wind, I think it was the direction of SSW kept the chop to a min.
absolute crapola basically. Being the eternal optimist was the only reason I rigged and I even went out in hope bit didn't even get into the back footstrap. Like Moby said it was windier at Kyeemagh, which unless Sandringham is really pumping is definately the place to be for marginal southerlies. I almost stopped there to rig again on go out just to get my fix but thought I would kill the wind for the guys already out if I did.
It was blowing a gale down here at Sanctuary Point on Thursday night, but friday brought a terribly holey 12 knots. I managed to score just over 25 knots in the smooth water in one of the rare gusts on my 98l + 7.4m.
