Late notice but we decided to put on a wave comp at wedge this weekend with the good forecast and since margies has now been cancelled.

The plan is to meet on the beach about 2kms north of the island at 1pm.

We want to run novice and open, and any other division than can scratch together a few competitors.
Novice will be expression session or man on man if they choose.
Open will be man on man.

No judges NO comp. we need your help! Judging is easy and is a great way to learn!

BYO grog, WWA will provide a bbq and some snags!

for more info pls call me: Alex 0413969679

4wds are the prefered access method, but small 2wd cars with the tyres let down will work fine.

Yep nothing like one foot waves at wedge as apposed to 4 ft margs. Sound sick.
WA wAvesailing what a joke

better to run a comp in smaller waves and with decent wind than in big swell with no wind - that's no fun either . you should support people who make the effort to setup an alternative event instead.

Hi Curac

if you can get a permit for a sailing event during school holidays for the main break then Windsurfing WA greatly appreciate your assistance and support.

Sounds awesome and the conditions look great!

Couple of questions, where at wedge will you be and is this open to non WSWA members..

wedge has the sickest pits you oviously have not seen it

Plan on having the briefing at 1-1:15ish
It should be epic!

i'll be coming along, the forecast looks pretty kick-ass

Sweet!!!

Everyone should meet up at Lano and then jump on a courtesy bus with a trailer for everyones gear. (hint, hint) The SB crew are heading up that way today but don't have 4WD access. Will try our best to get there.

How did it go? Wind? Waves? Results?
Most importantly pics or vids?

Dave in a Holden barina made it. you can reach the settlement on tarmac, then the beach was very hard packed. No need to run buses and trailers etc.

i don't know how to put pics on here. Alex, do you have an e-mail address and i'll send them to you? had a few good wipeout pics sent to me and i know shaun took loads.
thanks

Was good fun. And all the more enjoyable for being able to sail when its not your heat down the beach as well. Be nice to even have a couple of these events up there a year. Cheers Alex and Garry.

Great fun guys had a ball.Good to see the novice giving it ago and making the effort to get there.
High standard of sailing by all.Great to watch.
I agree with Nathan you should hold it a couple of times a year as it pretty consistent there.

I third that!
