Hey guys dad and i are staying about 5km if that from Melville beach on the river. So is there any chance for a sail tomorrow/ next few days and if so where would be best?? Staying here till the 10th as that's when we are heading to lancelin for the week.
just launch from melville and sail to anywhere you want, the river is a very friendly place, you could stay at melville for some flat water or reach straight across to point walter for some extremely gusty conditions (is an alright speed strip on the right day) but have to be a bit careful over there at the moment as there is still some big clumps of lingering snot weed or the other spot you could sail to is downwind called pelican point, nice spot bit more consistent than the other 2 and much better on lighter days but is a bit bumpier down there
all up if you stay in the main part of the river you can't go wrong ![]()
Any chance of getting down this way?
Hardies runs shouldn't be too bad in the arvo. But Safety bay may be better
We are keen to get down to hardies any day after tomorrow, so it looks like We could get a sail in today at either safety bay or Melville?? Cheers for the replys
Izaak, if your haveing a dash at the LOC, then try to do the training run this Saturday. few lads going out. see post down a few below yours.
Hi Junior, hope you have a great WA holiday mate ![]()
The rivers a great spot anywhere, lots of friendly GPSTC'ers around. I'd head straight down the Canning to Port/Leighton Beach, lucky to be 15min away, would have to be better before the LOC. I've had a sail there and really enjoyed it.
Who's the NP JP team guys in WA, give them a yell.
Hope you do well in the LOC Izaak ![]()
Had a great little sail today, will look at safety bay tomorrow. We will be at lancelin on the 10th so hopefully a few days training there.
be down at Safety Bay tomorrow. You see a white falcon towing a blue and white trailer that's me. Gives us a yell if you get there. Got GPSTC and Tabou transfers on the side.
Doing a skills session with a guru for three days.
Got four more days here then up to lancelin four days befor the event. We have been training at home in identical water conditions as the loc being well powered up way off the wind as well as reaching, so hopefully a chance to get some more training in before the event from this Sunday onwards as tomorrow we will be at safety bay.
There will be a few of us out off Port Beach (Leighton) after 4pm today. You guys are welcome to come sail with us and go for some downwind blasts - chasing that 30 knot ocean NM.
The sailing in that area is seriously fun.
Did a few runs across to the otherside at saftey bay that was fun. Experienced some angry kiters though too when I entered their zone.
Ain't no such thing as "their" zone. Just a bit of water where polers stay away coz too many strings, and she he's with red polka-dot boardies...
I am pretty sure that sailboards have been using the pond since the 80s
"their' zone quickly becomes "everyones" zone with heaps of sailboards blasting through at 30+ knots
I thought the local council declared the end of the pond and the outer side a kiter zone to minimise accidents and confrontations.?
Haha up at lancelin and dad got his revenge on the kites...we drove out on to the beach and a few silly kiters had layed their lines out accros the main area where the cars go on the beach. We didn't even realise until I opened the window and a girl was yelling at me. Oh well at least we didn't run over the handle part, mind you we were tempted...Anyway we didn't even stop and kept on going... Sorry if she read this...should'nt be any damage to the lines. And now they know not to put it on the driving area. They probably said bloody pryde riders when they saw the back of the car....
NICE WORK PERKS The tassie cowboys are in town
