Just started getting windy out here, although it's easterly there may be an evening session. A warm up for tomorrow?

Weeds are bad! Bring your weed fins. Water is cold too. I think the cold weather we had has dropped the water temps and made for an early and sudden die off of the weeds.

Also wear lots of wool and fur when you're in the water.

Tobasco sauce, sulfuric acid, and magnesium powder sprinkled inside the wetsuit will also keep you warm, among other results.

What fin box do you use? I might have some thrusters that fit.

Thanks Michael, the forward fins of the thruster are mini tuttle. The centre fin is US but I've got a weed fin for that..I was waiting for the K4 weed fins to come out but apparently they are testing them now :o
Tomorrow I'm stuck at work but Thursday morning/day I can make it if good!

Sorry I don't have mini tuttle weeds, I've got US and slot box.

All good Michael, thanks anyway.
The center fin I have is a 3cm longer than the standard one so it should be enough to cover for the fwd fins. Hope to see you out there. Cheers
