Great pics Mick. How fast was the tree doing on the gps!! I have only seen the water at that level once before. PABLO WAS GOING DONE FOR A SPIN TODAY Did he make it?

The course looked pretty good but there will be a few new trees in the water from Pt Symth. Be careful on the first few runs

Congrats EJMACK- Winner of the Inaugural Inverloch Speed Challenge, April 2009!

Speech??????

SPEECH!

Yeah right!

Actually, I think what's happening is we are extending the challenge through to the end of Autumn. Really wasn't much in the way of decent conditions for it through April so figured it would be good to run it for a bit longer.

As a bonus, I get to beat the pants off Dougy again!

Just out of curiosity, what speeds are we talking about and at what wind strength?

On a different note, that looks like a pretty nice spot. May have to do a trip over some time.

Hi guys, went down to Inverloch yesterday for the first time in many years. It's just as good if not better than I remember. Looking forward to spending a lot of time down there when I get a new board sorted. I'll keep an eye out for any up coming events down that way so I can have a look.

How was the week away Croweman? I thought you may have been tempted to stay up there!

BBQ sounds like a great idea!!!

Hey - who is this GUM TREE guy/girl on the Speed challenege table on the Inverloch Windsurfing Club Website??

Might need to think up a few dirty tricks to sort this imposter out

Hey Croweman

Any suntan from your time up north?
BBQ sounds great. You name a date (not Mothers Day) and I will bring sauces and bread.

Despite my best endeavours to gain an old over light biscuit tan, I'm afraid to report that I remain the owner of the pastiest skin in Australia. Despite a standard week in Palm Cove, 31c light winds and a pretty Croation waitress at the poolbar to pour me another beer, the owners of Banana Boat Factor 30 have enjoyed another profitable week. 35 years in the gloom of the northern hemisphere has left me genetically unable to translate direct sunlight into an Aussie bronzed 'look'. Maybe Kevin Rudd should take pity and re-direct some of his stimulus package towards us unfortunates with the double disadvantage of pasty skin and ginger/red/sandy coloured hair. Hat, rashy, sunscreen and beachtent retailers would increase the country's GDP by at least 15%.
