Glynn and Phil - for cooking all of the food at the presentation

Burrum Sands - for providing the facilities at speed HQ

thanks also to everyone that helped during the event and those i may have ommitted from above.

finally - congrats to all of this years winners including the lucky draw winners of the NXS board and KA sail. (full report in ozwindsurf)

i'd also like to offer my apologies to the ladies. an early version of the event notice indicated a 2 sec peak category for the ladies division. unfortunately this was an error in the original flyer which should have said 5x10 sec peak as indicated in the event rules. rest assured next year i'll get it right.

Great Vid Justin and great event

cheer mate,

Dylan shot most of the video, the computer did the first 75% of the editting automatically , i just added the last 25% of edits and did a small amount of the filming. (gotta love movie maker auto movie function )

i've uploaded to http://exposureroom.com/429f3717ca5640db94e8bc8fa299818e/ also as it is better quality and can be downloaded.

plus i put the vid on the windwanderers facebook page.

awseome video, thanks for preparing and posting.
Watched Aus251 (Dave M?) gybing again and again. Truly artistic. If I am right about who it is can he not be encouraged back to posting on GTC? I imagine he is competitive at all divisions, I would love to see his alphas

dave certainly is a great sailor alright. i asked both him and john if they could do some gybes in front of the cam so we had some extra footage...... holly smokes did he light things up. those freestyle tricks he is doing on a race sail at over 30 knots. awesome!!!!!

some sic ways to turn by aus 251

great vid! and by the sounds of it a great event as well!
burrum looks unbelievable...even looks flat a hundred meters off shore its now on my wish list of places to sail(as well as the pit) before i take the big catapult out of life!

Some people are so careless, and yes my shoulder is still hurting from catapult later in the day. Maybe you shouldn't have given me my board back.

oh the embaressment.

channel 7 coverage.

Funny you say that Vando. I showed my wife Justin's video of the event and every time you featured she asked if that was me. I told her it wasn't because the sailor was going too slow

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cough cough

Which video? was that the blue movie you guys made...i heard Sausage was up for the part

Yeah but that's the one that Vando was in where he was much quicker than me

This is a photo I took during shooting. That's Choco behind the curtain. Took two hours to unstick him from the damn thing.

that's all a bit cheesey sausage.


now for somehting a little more serious.

mikey and i were going to do some shadowing but developed performance anxiety so we ended up just loitering in the background .....

actually we were discussing the weather.

and very happy with the coverage. 2 minutes on prime time is a great outcome. the guys were really happy with the day also and their work.

i still haven't received channel 9 stuff but i'll do up a dvd of photos, videos etc and send them out to everyone for sharing etc. photos won't include borders or watermarks.

cheers.

pic of speed HQ taken on the tuesday before coming home. wind was 15 knots dead onshore, white caps out the back. perfect for blasting along the shoreline in crystal clear water.

oh i miss burrum.



sorry for the double post, i tweaked a few things and uploaded again.

no wonder i'm depressed being back home
