Those wind gods are forever smiling. Either in generosity or taking the piss ![]()
Monday is looking good for a Port Hughes sail ![]()
Yup, Christmas afternoon looks good! So doe the rest of the week if prepared to go over to Yorkes or sail 15km offshore!![]()
Sems is looking great in the arvo!
It will be a guaranteed epic session, as it falls on xmas day when you shouldnt be sailing anyway(murphys law)
Who sailed today ?. What did you do to achieve this ?
a) Lie to love ones about a friend being admitted to hospital ?,
b) Self injury,
c) tipping a coffee purchased by a loved one down the sink to shorten a luncheon ?,
d) 160km/h to Sems, or
e) Other.![]()
Just curious, new to Adelaide so getting used to the wind reality. What happened today at Sems vs Seacliff? I was on a 7.5 around 4pm to 6pm. was Ok. But was it nuking at Semaphore? I'm trying to get a feel for where I should go in certain conditions. I've already learnt if straight South, go to Sems and it will pull in a little and head East up there and increase in force. Same deal with SW? or no point leaving Seacliff? So far I get skunked more at Seacliff and I hate that I get offshore and sometimes it just dies out there. What about when we get straight North or Westerlies?
on the metro coast for seabreezes
- seacliff = 1pm to 5pm
- henley beach = 2pm to 6pm
- semaphore = 3pm to 9pm
take a look at a map and you can see why.
boggy lake is a 1hr+ drive but comparable to wind semaphore IMHO.
I had a good few drinks so couldn't drive anywhere.......so I just sailed off Glenelg beach at about 6 ish! I'm never windsurfing p!ssed again!
I'm doing it again this late arv, but after family stuff.
Rob: pissed while sailing ?. What happened ? ![]()
Merry xmas all ![]()
Thanks Quatro, yes I like Boggy too, but really only go there if there is no wind here or it is pure offshore and dangerous. Thanks for the summary on Sem's too. I take it that is because it is closer to the plains than glenelg and Seacliff?
A few people turned up at boggy today...almost crowded!!!! it blew all day now I am sore from all the windsurfing but it is looking good for more windsurfing tomorrow.![]()
Thanks for the south oz hospitality, I had a great sail at boggy today, what an awesome spot. Hope to get out there before going back to victoria, if I can get a leave pass.![]()
It was pretty good yesterday at Semaphore. I was on the one sail the whole time. Only changed boards when it started to nuke. If today is like yesterday, I'm going to try this course on my freeride board early in the session:
