Just a general call out / roll call Who is up for the lake this coming holidays.

Camping at Elanda point- 'Jeffrey Point' I'll be there and will bring beginners gear for anybody that wants a go.

I've got plenty of beginner gear - it's all I sail these days . Small sails for kids also :-)

Already got confirmations from Richard in Bundaberg

Denton is coming up early New Years - there'll be some BIC techno love going on

Time to test your new gear - thanks Santa

I'll be there on and off the weeks leading up to Xmas and from New Year onwards

Will I get my backfoot into the strap?
Will the Sandstone Point seabreezers come to the party?
Will we have wind after the no show over september Hols?
Will we see Duncan blasting on the Gecko?
Will Morgs raise our shared PBs on the Excite Ride?
Is Jack going to ride the Isonic?
Will Jane, Ainsly and Anita leave the meal prep to us boys because they have been sailing too much?

Is there enough room at Jeffrey Point for a new board?


Cheers Jeff
Looking forward to some shortboard development

Thanks mate, but I don't need that much gear this year and besides you wont have any room for a board for yourself

Hi jirvin4505. I wonder if it was possible for my wife to try out one of your beginner boards. I use a 80L myself, which is way too small for her to learn. What days are you thinking of going up there? I'll probably be there just one day but I'm looking forward to it.

More than happy to help out. I'm in negotiations with the family about what days I'll be there.

Message me and I'll give you some dates

Always keen to get the girls on the water.

Cheers Jeff

So, is it bad internet connection or too much time at Morg's Bar and Grill.

Someone put up a report already.

Were these injuries sustained whilst actually windsurfing or just walking home from Morgan's beer garden?
