Wish we could make it! :(

hi divaldo,

if you are ever in the maroon state please come along to one of the meets. it would be good to have some visitors......


hey haircut...

it was the burgers that convinced was wasn't it? will be good to see you, i know it's a long drive.

anywhere to camp nearby?

Ah Golden Beach. I have a soft spot for GB. That's where I first learned to sail - hiring from Paul and Cindys.

(!!!poetry warning!!!)

Golden Beach

Blue paper sky and chalk smudge clouds
Warm white sand sheoaked, dune grassed
Pylon beaconed beach
And cool translucent water

A morning breeze
An interruption of boats
A panic of gulls,
A pelican

White canvas of birded sandbanks extending
To Bribie - fishermaned horizon hiding watercolour island

And holidays – release relief, deep core joy n peace
Book to read, sunscreened, fishing rodded, shade seeked
Ice blocked, fish n chipped,
And mums n kids n barbies

But then in the afternoon the breeze kicks in.
And the other life begins.
A sailboard and an arvos gift of 18 knots of wind...

Yeh, too right. I might see if I can drag some others along.

Latest News..

The guys at WindWarrior http://www.windwarrior.com.au/ have been sponsors of the club from the beginning, offering loads of support and advice. So for the Caloundra meet they are going to help us even further by donating a short sleeve BlastShield as a give away. Same deal as always, just drop your name to me and the lucky winner will be drawn from a hat, or in this case a gecko helmet. Good luck to everyone in the draw.

Also, because WindWarrior are fully supportive of what the club stands for, they have put together another sponsorship offer catering specifically for the clubs members. They have offered a 30% reduction in cost on their short sleeve BlastShield range. Check out http://www.windwarrior.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4&Itemid=8 for the details. For all those interested in the 30% saving grab me on the beach or at the next meet or forward me an email and I will help you out.

More Giveaways...

Other outstanding news is from the guys at WindsurfingSales whom have also been involved with the club from the beginning. www.windsurfingsales.com.au/ They have sent us a Gun Sails Boom Bag as a give away. WindsurfingSales have provided numerous giveaways for the clubs members and the boom bag is another outstanding item they have provided. So for the meet after Caloundra some lucky member will be taking home a new boom bag.

Membership..

If everyone could print out the waiver and sign it before giving it to me at the next meet that would be great. Other than completing the red tape I use the names on the waivers to add into the hat for the giveaways.

As usual, everyone is welcome. If you are a possible new member and want to join the club, the new member forms can be found in the club website as well. Just click the Mission link on the main page and download the Pdf's.

Upcoming Meets..

The Caloundra meet promises to be an excellent day out as it seems at this stage there are going to be more than just the committed members turning up on the day. Sunshine Coast Sailboards have really put together a brilliant showcase including gear on the beach. Dieter has been involved in the windsurfing industry now for many years and was very happy to satisfy the members requests to showcase his 2007 gear.

Godspeed and good winds, you windwandering brothers and sisters...

Everything's happening at once this weekend, otherwise I'd be up there with you. Have a ball, I'll be thinking of ya

Saturday morning and you guessed it..... B.O.M. has downgraded its forcast to 10-15kts! Enough said.

i guess we won't be seeing you there then mikey100.

hi haircut,

no worries, boy you got some driving in front of you. caloundra is a fair drive for the goldy crew at the best of times. 2.5 hrs in the car can test us all.

i hope to be able to head out again tomorrow. but i have domestic duties. if i can get it all done before early arvo i am keen.

hi vando,

had another nice day mate. wind was light up the coast. it seems the gold coast crew got all the wind.

congrats on your times....you've been smokin down there.

Hi Hobie, back Wed morn and have sailed Wed arvo, Thurs, Fri and Sat. Took my 90L Hybrid with 7.6m out at Manly- had 15kts 4 bout half hour on Sat. Looked promising but wind died out quickly. Did you get anw wind up coast? Manly this arvo? Maybe Lota Creek- low tide in arvo.

I think that is my good karma. i do so much good things during the day that i deserve some treats.
by the way i am still up in caloundra and enjoy the 30 knots flying over the water with my new waveboard. jesterday was already unbelievable fun, but today is just awesome.
looking forward to tomorrow for another day in paradise.
Yes i am thankful for my good karma
