I hope its on, lady at the camp site says it is so thats enough for me. Just wondering if i can register on the sat morning???? If not were just going to sail and be social, see you all there

It's getting even quieter. The silence is becoming deafening!!
Greg and I are coming anyway.

Ray - What's happened to the SE wind??

I can't justify the 2000k drive for an event that doesn't seem to have been organized this year, but I will be going past in the next few weeks so if there is some wind I will call in to get Kermit wet and have a rum

Thanks for that Vando

thanks vando , will your new speed weapon be ready. If not MK7 has 834 sailboards just borrow some of them

Ive been told it will be otherwise I can always cut the 75w in half.

hey guys,

the event is on!!!!!!! has been for about 12 months now. i've posted that a few times on seabreeze in the last month, refer the top of this page. i understand i've been quiet of late but unfortunately work has gotten in the way.

i have all of the approvals in place, the sponsors are organised including a KA sail as a major prize and a NXS board as a give away. plus windsurfingsales have put in some kit and unfiber have also provided prizes.

sign on is on friday morning at event HQ just near burrum sands. i will be at burrum heads myself on thursday afternoon staying in the house i stayed at last year beside the burrum sands. (i have some spare rooms available)

the freestyle event will be held on one of the weekend days.

all competitors must wear a bouyancy vest and helmets are recomended. all competitors must also be a member of one of the australian clubs. memberships can be taken out at the event to cover insurance requirements.

the end of event bbq will be held on monday night.

this year we have swapped around the classes a little. there will be no radar class but there will be a masters class.

format is a repeat of last year with clearer course outline. each day will see a downwind dash to the finish line ending with a beach landing.

there is no minimum wind strength but there is a max board width of 85cm.

Please be aware - Wind gusts can be 40 percent stronger than the averages given here, and maximum waves may be up to twice the height

Oh if only this was true.

^^Agree Vando, the W/E forecast keeps changing from 5 knot northerlies this morning to 12-15knot South easterlies tonight. Hopefully that high will dominate and the low gets pushed up north a little.

Can't get there for the 4 days...just the weekend. Still ok to enter then? Where can I find info of timetable, classes etc please? Cheers.

hi guys,

classes are as follows.

Open Division Champ – 5x10 sec
Open Division Nautical Mile Title

Masters Division Champ – 5x10 sec (55+)

Women's Division Champ – 5x10 Sec
Women's Division Nautical Mile

Youth Champ – 5x10 sec (depends on numbers)


no problems entering for only the weekend.

also, saturday night we are heading off to the local pub for a unwinder.
