wind lucky bay, a bit gusty but strong. had to park car on sidestreet.
conditions close to radical in middle on 5.0 metre.
someone guaranteed is going to break there neck/back on the sandbar doing speed runs off the wind.
one spot on sandbank you could see waves/chop forming, must have been less than one foot deep.
sailed from 4pm till 7pm only 10mins rest.
could not do that everyday. no seabreeze forecast for a while.

Yeah what a fun day. I windsurfed Scabs from about 1030 to 230.
Another bloke out there with me snapped his brand new mast
Saw another bloke fluffing around in the shorey doing freestyle things and next thing I saw was him swimming his crushed up rig to shore. Maybe the river would have been a better option?
The waves at first wasnt that big but seemed to pick up as the wind came in and just when I left
I had some insane wipeouts and swore I snapped my mast but once again my trusty mast has survived yet another severe beating
All up it was sick

Yesterday (Sat 31) was carnage! If anyone finds a front half of a red wave board its mine!
