8.5m koncept, 122 futura, 41cm pepeweed.  Nice morning session with Elmo, with a few good runs across the bay. Was chugging back towards the boat ramp and saw a shark about 10 metres off the port bow. About the same size as my board, so I gave my neck a workout looking for that elusive gust. Was about that time that I became interested in being somewhere else. Watched him for as long as I could but he didn't even seem to notice me, let alone care. About 50m away was a pod of dolphins feeding.   Lots of wildlife today  Good fun  Cool

Feels like I've lost weight too, although I haven't washed out my wettie yet Undecided

Princess Royal Harbour, WA, AU

Another great session on the harbour.

W52, RSSII 5.4 26 weedy

After a while I forgot how to gybe! All ços I said last session I was getting the hang of it. I could not remember when to move feet, flip rig etc etcEmbarassed

Importantly for me I passed another sailor derigging on my way home on a really flat and large area of water with a great cross water fetch in an easterly. I assumed was too shallow for windsurfers. Super bloke who told me the details. at the right tide height this is going to be better than alphaland and claudesvilleCool

Also have now freed up sailing time from early Febto early March. Those are meant to be great weeks here then I get to start a new job. Feeling happyCool

I am really happy Mike ( and have not understood your reference... very clever) Yup I start with Newmont on 5 th March but am off work from 10 Feb..... really hoping to sail with you during that time. The Easterllies are meant to be great here in Feb, that could make the new spot I found today sensational. Also I shall make the pilgramage north forecast allowingCool

Given the right tide level and wind E or NE there should be up to 1.3NM of flat water to rival HardiesSmile. The proof will be in the numbers...... I cannot wait to try it. Tomorrow is forecast for 20kts Easterly and enough water so I may be able to give it a try.

Firie I know what you mean, I am sailing now on a harbour frequented by great whites. I keep messing up my gybes on the outside and every weed patch on the bottom is a shark after meCry. I am really nervous.... but keep doing it!

Evets, you'll have to adopt the south oz insurance theory. Always sail with a buddy and a knife. If you do run into noah, stabb your buddy and get the hell out of thereSurprised...........anyone want to come on a windsurfing trip to SA with me?
