I like cordial!

I have heaps of footage from the summer, will be able to bring lappie for viewing

Good stuff Russ!

AHHHHHHHH!

Organising anything and setting a date is a freakin nightmare at this time of year.

We had heard a few rumours it was happening but nothing official till now.

Looking at another date soon

Watch this pace

IS ANYONE PLANNING ON GOING TO THE BS BALL?????????

Same here Russ, more interested in coming over to yours, chillin with some beers and crapping on about windsurfing!

To all new members of SASWS. My name is Jamie Grosser and I am organising The up coming Boardsailors Ball. Its a bummer about the clash of dates. I have been planning the ball since Christmas but got let down with the promo Material until now. I was a founding member of SAWSA and help run many of the original robe Comps. The Boardsailors Balls' were legendary events in their time and we thought it would be great to revisit and introduce a whole new crew to the Experience. It will be a guaranteed good night and disappointing if you were to miss it , but understand dates are hard to organise. I can offer you some room at BSYC prior to the ball on the day, if you were to consider it. Otherwise we'll make sure everybody gets more notice next time. I can be contacted on 0412800129 if anyone wants to discuss it further. Fantastic to get a new association up and going again. All the best.

amen MUZZA! great to see a board sailors ball however none of us were really told about the event! its a great idea and most of us would have been edger to help out. i just seen the flyer at Onboard the other week. a bit more communication would be great! pity about the clash but these things happen. hope you get a good crowd! see you there russ mate! ill bring me "personal collection" of DVD's. there all windsurfing ones too.

chris.

Sorry u guys can't make the ball or are'nt into it! Good luck with your meeting
A great opportunity missed if u ask me

i wish that we knew of the ball like a month ago!!!!! and then we could have tied in a windsurfing event into it or with it!!

See you there

:)

Hi All
I would like to respond to Asdmuzaks comments,As a founding member of the original SAWSA way back in the 80s i would like to point out that at the time the BSYC was a hub for young sailboarders and many,many times the BSYC availed itself for our use for either events or just a meeting point for those wanting to hang out with fellow sailboarders.We were always welcome!
Over the years may atempts were made for the board sailors to comptete in club run events, but due to either the fickle nature of sailboarding & or a lack of numbers sailboarding events never lasted moe than a few events.
Times have now changed & the young sailboarders of the 80s are now parents and have moved into the management and organisational committees of the BSYC.
So Yes they do have a vested interest in the Club and also their children and also community events.
So I choose to support the BSYC and are more than happy to see profits go to Youth Sailing (this may include sailboarding but as i'm not a member of BSYC i can't confirm this) As the BSYC has supported us in years gone bye i see the BIG PICTURE.
This Ball is aimed solely at Boardsailors and Jamie Grosser was hoping for a mix of the old crew and the new crew,and should be seen as an opportunity for the new crew to network with the older sailboarders as many of them are now working in or running buisnesses involved with sailing and sailboarding.
As far as i can see the profits are going to a great cause and if the new SASWS wishes fund to go to them why don't they organise their own Boardsaliors Ball ??
In fact Jamie was considering making a donation to the new SASWA if they supported the Ball, But judging by the negative comments coming from Asdmuzak and others on this site i doubt if this will happen now! (he needs to get his facts & people correct) How could he give profits to a club that has no leagal identity or stucture is problematic.
A Jamie has stated it is fantastic to get a new club up and running and i have personally offered the club my support & best wishes.
So how about we try to support each other instead of expressing narrow self opinionated negative veiws.
Thanks for reading this

**** this!

Lets go sailing!

To the guys organising the ball on Saturday night - Have a great night, maybe see you next year (and please dont put us all in the same basket, I looked back and could only see one negative comment)

To Ian - thats you opinion and you are entitled to it

To Russ - See you Saturday, I will need a beer by then!

sa SOCIAL wavesailors.

just a group of people who like to get together and windsurf. FARK all this bull ****! forget it. i think some people take things way too seriously and dont think before typing. have a great night everyone! this forum is getting way to BITCHEY!

I hope to make it. Sounds like a fun event for those into this type of thing.... Well done to Susie for being willing to try and support Windsurfing through these events. I feel guilty I have not attended much so far..

Russ deserves massive praise for the work he has been doing. Not me.

No praise required but thanks for the thought -Susie - I think Geoff was comending you for telling us to think outside the square and wake up and smell the roses

All I want to see a united windsurf community with Seeing lots of people on the water at the bbq's and have some great events with some scary waves and lots of wind.
Remeber the more people on the water - the more gear they buty and the more good second hand gear ther is for tight wads like me.

read Richards Uptons plans- great ideas and lets support him and get some thing more happening at all levels and windsurfing disciplines.

Cap it off with a John and Craigs ho down at the end of the summer.

Oh. Oops...well what can I say, girls just wanna have fun
Barby and beers, oh yeah, Boardsailors Ball, oh yeah,
wind wind and more wind oh yeah
And whatever you guys decide as a peaceful united group of all windsports lovers
definitely OH YEAH

Think its time all you girls got together and sailed across Gulf st vincent or spencer gulf (follow the ferry) -maybe a tag team - see if you can get as much publicity for our sport as Alison Shreeve got

We now have a data projector for the videos (thanks Dave) of Robe, Seacliff and Maui as well as a couple of windsurf movies.

I'm grabbing some snags tomorrow for a late cook up and if there is enough of us to lift it we will move the pool table from the shed to under the verandah! Tere are a few beds in the Jayco and some matresses if anyone has one too many - the firewoods chopped and the eskies are waiting!

See you from 730
