dont make them like they used too..
Looks like it got hit by a 52+ knot gust 
just before 6am this morning & got bent out of shape (by about 180 degrees)
Fort Denison & Kurnell wind thingos are also orf the air
) but nice to get out in consistent enough wind for the smaller board..its going to be great in summer 
. Strained the muscles in my Right forearm again as the harness lines were a bit too far back & I was luffing the sail a lot with my arms.Had to come in as I had no strength in my R arm..Got into trouble last time I kept sailing so i played it safe & finished.I need to build up my arm muscles! Hopefully I can pick the right size sail next time!
Got out at sanctuary point today, 4.7 and 95L...board was way to big. The point perp wind meter registered gusts up to 35 knots....I think that one hit me when I had my 5.8 up....Ouch!
I hit the water about 9:30am this morning with my 5.8 and cruised across the lake for a nicely powered up run, then the southerly kicked in...came in an switched to a 5.0 and got smashed around for a while. Rigged my 4.7 in the end, put another 2cm on my extension and down hauled the crap out of it...things were ok from then. Finished up at about 2:30 pm just as the rain stopped and the sun came out? It was an awesome day and I'm looking forward to the summer, I'll sleep well tonight.
Hope you guys got out....cheers.
got out tuesday morning then again late in arvo .. after sailing with an 11m and formula board i jumped on the 75l and 5m lol sail felt like a hankie . it musta been like 25 odd knots but could plane used to a 70cm fin ..back to the 20cm fin . spun out so mny times it isnt funnie
Went to Umina Beach at 3pm with a 80 litre wave board and 4.7m & 5.3 sails. Got out of the car and was surprised by the wind gusts of 25-35+ knots plus the very large powerful looking waves rolling in on the outgoing tide. No one else was out (Kiters or sailboarders). Wondered why.......decided it was too cold and too gusty to get wet. Discretion won. Valour nil.
