Season kicks in July / August but have just had a taste of a nice westerly. Heres a few shots from this off season. Wind is forcasted next week.... Looks like an early start to the season!!
Anyone else been out lately?
hi Tas&Lauren,
you could be right, this season may have more westerlies like it should be and normal years are. it feels like it here anyway. keep the images coming so potential lagoon hoons can see how good the island really is. we had the last of the summer ne winds here last sunday and it just seems like its going to be a big westerly winter.
Love the shot with the Wild Winds sail! I threw a couple of them out last year (they were torn & broken battens) Looks like that one still holds good wind...there's a local guy that still sails circa 80's sails here!
.mine is disintergrating worse luck..
I reckon if a wetsuit manufactuer made some 80s style wetsuits they would sell like the proverbial hotcakes. My 80s shorty suit was a bit low key being mainly black but had a fluro blue stripe down each side. It was a Ripcurl.
1980s wetsuits? Try Cash Converters, the Salvos or St Vinnies, you never know what will turn up. Their shops on the Gold Coast, at least, have lots of wetsuits.
However...there may be some wear and tear and/or hygeine issues...
i'll be there from aug 6-20. it would be awesome to sail with you two again. love the pics. Tas is looking pretty hot isn't he....a mispent middle youth.
With all the Boardshort brands going to the fluros then we may find the wetsuit companies going back for some of the old 80's colours.
Lets hope they don't bring back the Tom Carroll supershort boardies, those are best left in the past
I just saw the Oxley Travel specials available for Lord Howe.
One place gives you a day free car rental! Be sure not to miss out! Anyone who has been there (at least anyone that can walk) will know, a hire car there is like having an airconditioned bicycle.
cheap
