Hi all,
I am happy to announce the dates of the Hutt City Windsurf Cup which will be in Eastbourne, New Zealand. Wellington is in the top 5 windiest cities in the world with over 75% of days with winds over 15knots making for a great event with phenomenal conditions.
Date: March 24-26th
Location: Bishop park, Eastbourne
I am working at having cheap event accommodation for riders and all competitors will have free gear storage for the duration of the event onsite thanks to Royal Wolf and KAM Transport.
The event will be apart of the Pacific Cup which is a series of events in the pacific including Australia, Japan, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Japan, Hawaii and New Zealand. I will have more information of the other events soon.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1813933145544684
Look forward to seeing you there!
Wellington the windiest city in the world!

Check out the racing which has been done at the Eastbourne Slalom Plus over the last few years. This will be the same place where the Hutt City Windsurf Cup - New Zealand will be held next year. This will be the first stop of the Pacific Windsurf Cup in March.
The course on the video looks like a Fig.8 course(?)
Will the Pacific Cup be the same or a more conventional downwind M Course?
The course for Hutt City Cup will be downwind slalom.
I am trying to confirm 'PRIZE MONEY' for a teams result (additional to the $2000 for the current prize money) also where each team can have between 3-5 sailors (and the top 3 sailor results count).
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
All the details are starting to be confirmed. Some exciting news regarding gear transport very soon.
In the meantime checkout the event rigging area and also the event clubhouse.
