At St. George we have a phenomenon known as the “run out tide nor-easter”. This combines the run out tide of the Georges River with the North East sea breeze and the windward mark placed at the narrowest part of the river before it opens out in to Botany Bay. Combining these elements produces some serious short steep chop. Yesterday’s tide was the lowest I have seen at St. George.

These waves are a complete nightmare when foiling and all the boats had at least one swim except Chris Dey. The fat boat however loves em! I took much peasure rounding the top mark to see the foilers all struggling to keep out ot the waves whilst I was trying to find the biggest ones !

In other news I am starting to show some serious signs of thin skiff withdrawl !
