CANTON BEACH WINDSURFING - 4 OCTOBER 2016

I started the day with a walk along Terrigal Beach and the promenade. It was bright and sunny. I enjoyed the warmth of the morning sunrise and thought about what I might do today.

I had a few tasks to do and as the day progressed so did the wind.

I drove to Canton Beach on the northern end of Tuggerah Lake. The wind was howling and a few friends - Bill and Lance had just arrived.


Things were looking disastrous as I didn't have the right mast for my sail but luckily Bill had a spare.

What a great windsurf! I was feeling better ( hamstring injury) and in better control. Lots of long and fast runs with some chop jumps at times.

Craig joined us towards the end of my session.

As it turned out, Bill needed a helmet and luckily, I had a spare. In the end, we did a trade - helmet for a mast.

Out of the last three sessions this was by far the best .... keep it coming. :)

CANTON BEACH WINDSURF - 1 OCTOBER 2016

Another day of strong wind.



I drove to Canton Beach at Toukley for a windsurf on Tuggerah Lake.

I put a smaller sail up and had a couple of good runs though it was hard work as the wind was up and down.

Part of the fun of canton is catching up with some fellow windsurfers that I haven't seen since the beginning of the year.

Not as many throw downs as yesterday but I need to do a check of my gear on the next windless day - change harness straps and look for salt encrusted spots.

CENTRAL COAST WINDSURF - CANTON BEACH - 4 april 2015

The rain poured all night.

I checked the wind on sea breeze. It was strong from the south east.

Off to Canton beach for a windsurf.

I only had a single run as the wind was swinging more to the east and there were a lot of holes in the wind. The wind holes are caused by the wind flowing over the land and lowering back to water height at various distances from the shoreline.

The result was a ballistic blow then dead stop. Still, I had fun!

Mark was there so we had a bit of a run together

distance - 6.74km
max speed - 36.9 km/h
