Anywhere but work.

Shearwater is more likely the go in anything southerly with outgoing tide:

how was it today guys,

i managed an hour of solid winds at VP. had an appointment run over and made it no worthwhile going back to the office so i headed to VP.

was very tastey indeed, pierre screaming around, jinxy getting so close to making his flatwater pushies....... nice swell coming through. got some good air and tried a one legged chop hop. that hurt but excellent conditions. very constant wind.

Flat water and pushies is not something i'd even entertain the thought of. Define flatwater :o

Yep. Tacked up to the train and did the downwinder back.
The return was quicker than driving.

Saturday was pretty quiet though carpark was full of Aus Day partyers
Sunday quite a few Brisos I think, but not really busy. By 3.30 sandbank was exposed , water nice and flat and nearly everyone had gone.
Today wind was really patchy so didn't bother after the last 2 days.

actually that is almost true cause i was driving from T to SW next to you for ages along marine pde. although the skoda got ahead when you did a run along the grand bank. it was funny watching you go square down marine pde.

does this mean u win the dash for trash?

anyway, i headed back to T (SW looked choppy as) and had the bank to myself until dusk.

was awesome!!
