We came, we saw we went "holy snappin duck poo that's gusty

We rigged the 5.8 RSR on a 104L board

We went out and tried to start, we got going, we went oooooooooooosssssshhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt
It was holy, it was gusty holys sh1t it was gusty its was swinging around 60º
Spent close to 5mins trying to hold the kit down on the water when a squal came through, sailed back and packed up.

No Bruises
No Damage

20 gusting to 35 on the river, wave kit was appropriate for the conditions...

saw some liquid smoke on occasion so did a splat gybe and waited it out...

Mostly upright though, loads of fun

Is it going to drop off a bit?
This is the most consistent wind we've had since Labor Day.
I'm itching to go for a sail but I think my 4.5 is going to be too big to handle.

We went out on the Mandurah Mill pond

Chop got up to a massive 10" (wind wouldn't let it get bigger)

Hey guys, I will leave work in one hour ... do you think that Woodman Point or Crazy Waves will be ok ??

And How to get to Woodman point ... is there a car park ??
Is there a beach ??

Cocornichon - I am not the most experienced on sailing spots in Perth but here's some info:

The Woodman Pt turnoff (O'Kane Cr - look it up on Google maps) is just after the lighthouse on Cockburn Rd heading south - you get on to that then take the 1st left and then 1st right on to Woodman Point View Rd - then go to the end by the pumping station, then take a left, and on to the end where there is a car park at the groyne. Windsurfers tend to launch off the beach to the right of the groyne.

Crazy Waves works in a big NWly. Its a bit more W today so might be a bit difficult to get out of the shore break? Don't take my word for it though - I've only sailed there once (in the last big blow - stuck my harness hook through my 5.0m2 when I got caught out in a squall coming in and hammered by a succession of 45 knot gusts!).

Far as I can tell Mike it's too cold for them now. The water is clear right now but with a bit of a flush it may cloud a bit with run off from the farms. I did the walk of shame the other day and did'nt come across any cobblers, or crabs for that matter.
