Swan Bay at the end of the Bellarine Peninsula with Red and Jacques from the Connewarre Crew. Always a good laugh catching up with these two but the wind disappointed - forecast 20-30kts but we probably got 15 mins of 20 knots and the rest lighter and gusty with big holes. The wind was probably WNW but I reckon it would be good also in a SW, or NW. Hoped to get a better NM and on a good day this place would be amazing, but kept sailing into lulls and coasting along until the next gust. Huge long runs possible here and water mostly knee to waist deep and quite smooth. Changed down from 6.6 Koncept to 5.8 Koncept when the wind was at it's peak of 20 knots or so but didn't change down my 31cm weedie which meant I was a bit over-finned. Really enjoying my new (second hand) JP slalom board!
