Marrawah went from windy to insane as usual! Day 1 started as a warm up jumping session at Greens while we waited for a front to come through. By afternoon the wind was gusting up to 57knts at Cape Grim!

BOL was one hell of a mess but we had to try it. The tide was low and the reef was sucking dry! If you look at some of the photos you can see the top of the reef in places. Anthony Houston, aged 55, showed us that your never to old to get totally worked! Seriously though - the guy is an inspiration to all. If you keep this up Anthony I think we may have to ban you from coming! Tone it down a bit!

BOL was out of control and everyone was in survival mode. There is not a lot anyone could do except try and get in and out of the danger zone. By the end of the day everyone was so exhausted we couldn’t stay up and party!

Day 2 brought Sunny warm light winds with a substantially smaller swell. The wind was a little light but the day produced fun conditions. The swell we wanted went though during the night. It was decided after much driving around that we should sail at Greens Beach.

As usual Justin Tapson sat in the background and made it all happen. Justin was judge, photographer and video camera man. He did a fantastic job. Thanks Justin I don’t know what we would do without you.
