The weed was nowhere as bad as last time. It was still there but not the "slam on the brakes and over the bars" type. Clumps down the end of the run and a few near the launch as usual but compared to last time it was sweet.
Water temp fine but not as warm as the ocean. Late tomoz looks good for a short one and Sunday for light wind cruise.
Was a good crowd yesterday, just wished it hadve lived up to the forecast

Sounds like its back to almost normal. last sail there i just sailed out behind the weed, near the markers. most of the guys were just charging through the weed & the crashes.
come on 25-30kts, 30 on the gps is not enough.

Whats the go with the Kiters down there ? coming straight at us on opposite tack and jumping right next to us ? i really hope they dont lose it and hit someone .
Also going upwind of us on opposite tack and in close proximity does not seem to smart either !!!!!!!!!!
Old mate who did it to me copped i nice tail slide and a heap of spray in his face while he was in the water !!!!!!!!!!!

I spotted your payback Greg, well done. That guy is a peanut and was being a dick all day. I was going thru my Gopro footage last night and at one stage after I had smoked him the wind dropped off and we all came off the plane. Old mate comes past about 3 feet from me being a smart arse and you can hear me stating "f*** off wanker". Didn't make any difference to him.
I mean, why do you have to come so close to shore when guys are standing around and drop your kite to buzz the beach??? Its a big area of water so why do it?? Maybe Mick's rant didn't sink in??
