We checked Sellicks last night after everyone left, with 30kts plus and without a wave in sight........... we left.................. flat water SH!T.

We need a bit of swell, time for winter!

I'm feelin your pain - Dave it was a freestyle splatter very ugly Sellicks - crew out when I arrived but getting smacked on 4.2's - for me 5.7 and 112 skate were out of the question.

Moana was ordinary - sailed until the wind disappeared when frank hit the water - supposed to be a 4 m white pointer off moana - didnt see it tho

Maybe a sneaky one at Day street sunday late morn before the change?

Well, it was kind for 30mins then it started backing off. High tide was 6.30pm so the waves started dropping off too

Hey bondy, you could have given that little sup of yours a go if the wind dropped out!

Russ, I had to go & get a drink I was laughing that much!
Had a sail at semaphore tonight, 4.5 & small board until Frank turned up & it dropped 10 knots !
Thank god he's a slow rigger I got another half hour in I normally wouldn't have.

Cheers Neville.

Luke, only normally have my sailing gear with me as its a rush down after work to catch whatever is left of the wind from 6.30 onwards. The sail on my SUP is an idea, although I loose a bit of interest at Semi once the jumps are over. Gotta try the 7'11 Starboard at Middleton sometime.

Zach, at least if you cant see where your going then hopefully the big critters cant see you
Im heading over 17-24 March.

Hey bondy -Don't want to put a hex on it but I reckon sunday might be the day for a sup sail at dribs - and if we're lucky enough maybe the wave gear lunch time (40/60). I'm hanging for some waves so I'll head down late morn - been the flatest spell down this wayi can remember

Bondy, always other kids to share the stoke with if you ever want to hook up with us, could be a way around your predicament,

Sunday is out for us, but free all Saturday,
