Hey any guys flying into Melbourne that are hiring a van that may have room for one more. The only prob is that i cannot fly in until after the 27 as i have a bloody wedding to go too. ta Vando

I,ll come and pick ya up if you get stuck,EXCEPT if its WSW 50kts then its walking time for you

Thanks for the offer Kato maybe maybe a night flight might be safer knowing my luck it will blow 50knot wsw maybe just pay the pilot a bit more and get him to land on the speed strip .

Anyone got any advise on booking flights virgin sound the easyest.
Do i book now or closer to the time.

Cool Goo Screw be good to get down again.
Strange flights are pretty exy heading down but coming back there cheaper.
Might be because of the school holidays in Sept.

Hey Al. what are the exact dates, We are planning a visit to the relies and would like to at least come and watch, ( if we brought a harness & wettie could we have a go on your gear?) yeh I knew you would say yes.

Looks like we will have a good turn-out again this year for the speed event, also good to see Vando has finally plucked up the courage to challenge the elements again this year after first opting to give it a miss, plus I hear he is determined to beat some really old guy this time as well...

A limited number of event tee shirts will also be available this year, simular to previous years, cost $25.ea.. anyone requiring one let me know, first in first served..

We will have some GT11's (tried,tested and trust-worthy) available for those requiring a GPS. @ $150..

1x $300.Gift voucher from Surf Sail in WA.
2x $250.Gift vouchers from Surf Sail in WA.

ta Vando

Yes I am Vando. But I'm not as old as Al!

I may not be such a pushover this year though. I'm booking my body in for a 500,000 Km tune up and service. Unfortunately, they tell me they can't do anything for my mind. It's completely shot!
I may be able to pick you up too depending on the day and time as I have a few errands to run to the big smoke at some time or other. Just don't know exactly when yet, but keep us informed of your travel arrangements. It'll be good to see you here again.

Well - looks like the banter is warming up. Really looking forward to it Al. I have a couple of work things interrupting the first week but am trying to keep second week free for many days on water. Tides are at more favourable hours in the second week by the look. Fingers crossed for some good conditions What categories are people trying for this year - just 5X10 or Alpha too? Any cut-offs or just sail as much as possible...

I think he,s sharpening fins Bring Wind Al

al green said...

Both the 5x10 and Alpha will be on, although some of the guys only do one. Sail as much as possible during daylight hours.
Vando has gone quiet, don't think he likes my stirring..

Allan.......

Actually Al Ive been busy Windsurfing and getting into peak fitness so I can slaughter you down there.

"BLOOD IN THE WATER" won,t the Noahs be happy they haven,t had a feed for a while[}:)]

This might be an interesting one for the Bookies...
Al coming off some huge numbers at the Pit last year
and vando showing top form of late and will be expected to be carrying some impressive new heavy weaponry.
I might have to wait and see how lame the old war dog is before I place my bets.

How's that knee Al ,or are you just fakin' it to give a false sense of confidence?

Hi Al ,I'll be making the trip to Sandy Point in the second week if it looks like being windy.
Can i still compete for the time i'm there(maybe 1-2 days)? or will it be organised chaos

So wish I could be there this year, seriously aiming for 2009 to be the year I take a month off and spend it in Vic and do the events!!

I am off this morning to Sandy Point, see yee all there.

PM GP747( he is in the philipines)
He made me one for my NAVI. I have been through two aqua packs and they just split. GP's is way better, its stronger and way more comfortable
