Well. It seems as though this may be the one. The forecast is wild for the Comp window and the light forecast is 25-30 knots. With higher winds and swell to 4m to follow over the weekend. Talk about taking the season out with a bang. High winds, large waves, top parties, xlnt trophies and cash. Wish you were here?

Hey windwarrior sounds like this dean guy really rips..is he from newcastle way,im sure ive heard of him around here,iam and i need a few tips on things,is there any chance of getting him to teach me some cool stuff?

So who won the comp Northboy??

Geez Windwarrior, what are you sponsoring a guy that crashes for?? This Dean bloke sounds like a clutz!

I didnt see u out there nutbag on saturday??? Deano was & entered in 2 divisions,(Old fart he is.) which ment he sailed 4 hours on the friday straight and the same on saturday. Also he was layed down with some virus. He must of been crook as he didnt have a beer for 3 days. But ya right he is a clutz

Are there any pics around of this comp, or a write up maybe? Sounds epic! I guess the next Ozwindsurf may have something.

Wow I just saw the teaser pic :O June issue though :(

unfortunatly kirk the editor of www.ozwindsurf.com.au is keeping the pictures of the weekend under wraps.and what a comp it was!
some serious action and waves aplenty and the fitty cent beers night is a blurrrrr. bring on next year. and everyone thanks northboy for his effort and vision! viva la northboy. hope you got laid.

One of the reason's Dean Hendrie is a WindWarrior Team Rider, apart from his continual presence as one of the top 5 wavesailors in this country at the Nationals, is his commitment to testing out our range.

When we asked Dean to put the WindWarrior gear through it's paces at the Tabou Comp in QLD he responded with a casual 'yeah no problem'
The fact he put himself through a mast high plus washing machine solely for the purpose of 'research and development' is a testament to his commitment
Believe it or not, but after purposely getting smacked by a mast high lip and then getting sucked over the falls and put through the saltwater washing machine on full 'heavy duty cycle' Deano asked if we needed him to do it again... for testing purposes only of course!

And just for the record, his WindWarrior kit was in perfect condition after the workout and its striking colour scheme actually made it possible for those on the beach to track Dean's path over, under and through the wave !
WindWarrior Team Rider Luke Johnson has been doing similar r&d testing in Maui
Luke has been researching the cushioning impact charateristics of our Blastshield range by throwing himself fearlessly into double forward after double forward attempt

Now that's commitment to testing from our team rider department
