Spot X Geraldton

5/01/2006

Today the wind was in early around 11.00am and we had a good swell firing on all the Geraldton Coast.

I got a call from a friend and the call was made to go to Spot X. Spot X is the worst secret spot in Geraldton and is under threat of being destroyed by a port to ship iron ore from. Go figure 1000km of empty coast line and they have to go and build a port here. Why something so special has to be destroyed for a port is beyond me.

We arrived early and the wind was strong but not fully filled in. The waves were around head height and a bit disorganised.

The day got better the longer it went on. By the end it was nuken.

I rigged my 4.7 and my 69L Goya. A classic combo just a wave shredding machine.


Their was only 1 car and 2 other people on the water when we got their.


The after workers started to role in after 5pm. It was still good and wind was not going to drop out.

Sunset Beach

4/01/2007

Sunset Beach was the go yesterday afternoon. It was a very weird day, the morning started with rain and massive black clouds rolling in. The day looked more like winter then January.

The wind came in late afternoon, but the gusts were violent. I went out with my 4.7 and 81L board but I was soon wishing I had my smaller board on.

Waves were around head height but had a heap of chop on the faces. It was good to have waves again and it looks like the swell will hang arond for a few days.

Cyclone Isobel crossed the coast yesterday up north and was threatening to meet up with a cold front heading up from down south. It was going to turn into the STORM OF A GENERATION.

The forecast is looking good for the Mambo comp at Corros on the weekend, we have a great forecast of wind and 2.5m swell just classic Corros.

Can't wait.

Coronation Beach

I have spent the last few days sailing Corros.
The wind has been a bit on and off. It has been 5.3 for me each day, so rig choice has been easy.

It has been super crowed on the water with reports of 150 people on the water. Corros is a huge bay so it can just soak up the people.

The waves have been very small so their was a lot of freestyle going on. Lots of sliding backwards and sail flips.

We have the Gero blast this week end , and it is going to be a Mambo format. The contest will be more about having fun and participating more then winning.

We had a family day at Corros on Sunday. That involves us taking up our camper so the kids have some where to get out of the sun. We scored our selves a great camp sight so we stayed for the night.
