Thanks Guys...

Hardie, I went to the windsurfingwa.org.au website but can't find any info.....I'll drop them an e-mail...no worries..

Can't wait doing it !

I did this last year on a trusty 50 buck 6.5 race sail and ancient windtech slalom 8'6". It was an awesome experience, especially running off the beach at the start trying to find clean air. Although you have to point to the first mark, the rest of the race is very deep off the wind, so you need to use a bigger sail than you think if you want to remain powered up. Ledge to lancelin is about 12km, but you zig zag up and down the coast so you actually sail about 25-30 i think. The really quick guys do it in about 30 mins, it took me 45 and i was off the plane a few times.

They dont start the race till at least a solid 12knots kicks in. As alex said, lots of guys do it on wave gear, but then again there is the really fast guys on the latest slalom gear as well. Just about everyone is in it for a good time though, so i wouldnt worry too much if you dont have the right gear.

I think its about 40 bucks or so, and you need to be a member of windsurfing wa which is probably another 40/50 dollars. You also need to buy/borrow a bouyancy vest and some flares. But really its all worth it, especially for the party that night at the pub!

Here is some pictures of the start to get you amped up!
