We are all waiting for them.. The was one organised not long ago but was canceled due to bad weather.. One day we might think about catching up to the east coast..

If that wind comes in going to do a run after work if you want to come.

If there is one i'm more than keen

It would have to be in decent waves so not in the metro area

Thanks Hilly
Yeah have to agree with your there no swell in Feb,You would think the possibilities of a world class event in winter would be the way to go,I wonder if its a local who has decieded on Feb in Mandurah,feel sorry for the sponsers if any.

Maybe should organize one in Bali... Closer then the East coast!
We don't have enough paddler here to do it but have waves...
Bye Jankie

The Geraldton Longboard club has a competition in the long weekend in June and runs an open sup along with 9', 8' and old mal. It is a great event and we have run the sup section for 2 years with some good surfers. If you want details let me know. I am a club member and maybe treasurer for life. This is a wave contest obviously. I like waves with a 8'5" and 9' sup, have a downwinders board, a surf ski, a few surfboards and also windsurf.

There is a series of events run by the WA Long Boarders club, Yallingup, Lancelin and Denmark these events help choose the state team for the nationals, Geraldton Long boarders club also has an event (this is always an awesome event held at Corronations). The contest dates and details are on the Surfing WA web site. I was super impressed with the event organisation, very relaxed format and great group of guys and gals, would be good to see a bigger fleet next year. We had awesome conditions for Yallingup and Denmark, Lano was a bit flat but still fun, and Gero had some great conditions early on, and produces some fun waves. I think there is also an event coming up conected with the Yal Mal, not sure but if you get hold of Galvo at Stand Up Surf Shop he can enlighten you.
