there are a lot of great points here to be discussed we are in one of the best places in th world to be windsurfing and to be fortunate enough to have a wind surfing club, has to be a bonus. To me i think we should start at the begining and renew the whole format. First it needs to have more social events not necessarily comps but weekend party fun days . Have a look at some of the kite events, kiters will drive hundreds of miles to get to and event but wind surfers wont drive from Perth to Woodies why? Second point i would like to mention is the high cost involved to be a part of this club . First you have to join WWA fair enough , now join Nedlands yc , than pay for every event thats not at Nedlands ( there are quite a few) , than the cost of getting to the events, spending money , gear breakage , the list goes on.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of prize money - not much say $50 -30-20 for 1,2,3, for each division at the end of the event . Its not much but it is better than a set of harnesslines and a slap on the back . I think if you have a look at these two points make it fun and affordable then i am sure there will be an increase in partisapation.Third point i would like to see some person should have the position to up date the race results on an event by event basis , what's the whole point of having race and wave events if there are no results, it is always good to know how you went . There has been whole seasons go past with out any updates .
