Hmm looks like beer doesn't make me sail better after all.
To me it felt like beer brings wind.
And maybe some messy gybes.
It was the day that showed myself windfoiling is possibly my lighter wind option. My 8.1m and 120l struggled big time.
Windfoiling is the perfect light wind option from 8kts up to I reckon 20kts it doesn't just get you on the water sooner, but its also way more fun then slapping in those conditions.
I've been on either a 4.0 or 4.8 everyday since the 18th bar Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
You just have to commit a few sessions to being a total noob again before you start enjoying it.
Last session at Queens Beach for 2020, eventually was a great one with good wind and sun at times. Happy new year to all !















Top video edit there! Shows the QBN playground well. Loving the cruisey tunes. Let's you focus on the task at hand... Windsurfin ![]()
Maybe add a snorkle? Hehe... Kinda hard to breathe thru a water soaked paper or cloth mask?
If we are restricted to own suburb im gonna break out the windskate.
Exercise is vital. Right?
Should be okay to go windsurfing during lockdown, just wear a mask and look kind of depressed?
Well I will be sailing in my own suburb and will be exercising ![]()
Geez, pretty flat conditions to be using a 4.5. Is that a SE'ly at that joint?
Yep, SE Mr Whip. It always looks pretty flat & ordinary, especially through a camera lense... then you hit the water. Come join us on the next 25knt+ day and get into the guts of the northern bay. It can be a wild ride.
Beach beers Friday 4-4:30ish for those interested. Maybe a breeze for the able bodied

Jesus man!
we'll be heading down. How's that injury? short or long time ??
Reckon it's going to be a slow mend, no breaks but the damage is in the highload-footstrap area of the foot.

Jesus man!
Close to what I said when I did it! Although you were on the water at the time so probably heard me goin' all potty mouth...
So glad I made myself go for a sail yesterday, don't know when the next one will be????
Boy that looks like fun. Wish I could gybe like that..

Probably right MD. Actually had a pretty good run considering my crash & burn history. Last major blowout was all CLs in my left knee about 7yrs ago. That was 4-5months out and years destroying knee braces.

Great turn out last night at QBN with a good Seabreeze, beers and nibbles.
