steve allen is a legend.

good on steve for following his dream, he is such a committed athlete and should get more recognition for his achievements here at home with the media, he is one of our sports superstars and deserves to be a household name.

Awesome event. Unreal atmosphere. Great party. LOTS of sailing. I went in it last year, only 450 people on the start line. Big rabbit (boat) start.

I'd love to do it again. 7 races in 4 days. A giant figure 8 course, 2 laps total 48km per race. Wind can be nuclear. In one race last year the wind was gusting over 50 knots at the first mark (yes they had a wind meter on it). Bjorn and Antoine were on 5.0m...

Lots of folk using wave boards and wave sails. Its about the paricipation.

It gets crazy after the first mark, sailing head-on into the rest of the fleet. And the chop... 450 boards makes a nasty soup.

totally agree greenleader he has certainly made his mark in the windsurfing world. Even better he's a Queenslander.

slowboat how hard is it to get in the event, I too would love to give it ago.

It's a pity he dosent live in qld anymore though, or sail here much. Maybe one day he can bring the family back to live in qld.
