The BOM is saying 15-25 NW/NE for today.
SB is showing light N/NW until around 5pm when its supposed to go SW and then southerly.
please explain???
The differences between the two are often severe.
Seeing its been such a crap season in Sydney what do you do??
F************** hell.

You spend all your freetime on "Standby" - Much to the frustration of family and friends.

Yep, know what you mean Michael.
My dad rang to ask if I could give him a hand to move some furniture (hes 81)
and I said sure, but Im not sure whether it will be today or tomorrow.
That nagging voice in your head saying "maybe the wind will pick up this arvo, dont want to miss it."
Non windsurfers just dont understand.

Seabreezes are few and far between this summer.

Mavericks is a top surf spot...

Hey Larko,

You resort to formula racing, stand up paddling or conceiving the next bundle of joy to make sure you have even less time for next year.

Speaking of Formula. You've got to race this weekend for sure don't you Michael?

Sam.

Come on Michael. Give FE+ a go... I've seen you sail and you are definitely ready.

Ramsgate Beach Saturday and Sunday.

I suppose I could have a go. I thought the season was over? I'd planned to get into it next season.

What are the entry fees? (Join Storm Riders?) Can I use the old sail numbers on my sail already? (AUS 126)

$30 per event - sail numbers are a moot point - but there has been plenty of lattitude shown esp in the "silver fleet"

3 more events - check storm riders for dates but Ramsgate, Huskisson, Hawks Nest

sadly no racing for me this weekend

See ya down there this wk end then Mike? Be good to some more FE+ numbers on the start line, making it interesting for those Open fellas. My theory; the more on the start line, the more interesting it is for everyone, no matter how fast you are!............Besides, everyone loves an obstacle course! I'm speak for myself here, BTW!

Hey Ads, It's all go! Looks like a nice weekend of 15 knot breezes. I hope I don't need to rig my 11 - the first time I tried to rig it I snapped a mast. I think I'll stick with the easy rig 10.

Hey Tim, are you still without a board?

Hey Mike, Look forward to sailing with you on the Sunday, I can't do the Saturday unfortunately I could be wrong, but I think Tim might be sorted with a new boat from Sam & Windsurf and Snow, just between you & the rest of NSW readers! And I think JP is going after the Starboard title?........New baby, new board, sailing in NEsters all wk end,...happy days Tim Ford Australia we're moving with you!

Hey Tim, What happened to the board? Did you drop it?

I'm looking forward to the weekend. I haven't sailed since Heat 5. Looks like FE will be hotly contested this weekend... Look out 555 and 2111...

Looking forward to some sailing this weekend also, have not been out for a month.

Tim, you should be sleeping not shopping for new gear :) Are you spending the whole baby bonus at WSS!

Looking forward to a sweet nor-easter and some more 10m racing!

We at WSS we are sensitive to the needs of the new windsurfing father and will do our best for poor souls like Tim in their time of needs.
