Should be fun.

But why not Ramsgate? Plenty of parking for those of us with trailers.

See you there.

Hey Brett, do we need to register with Stormriders beforehand? Is it a proper affiliated event or another fun one....? If needing to register can we do it online anywhere beforehand rather than on the day?

Hi Rexy,

This one is a proper NSW affiliated event. We are going to be running two divisions. Expert+Slalom Experience for those that have limited racing experience.

Its preferred that you join a NSW club beforehand for the insurance reasons. It can be done beforehand via the Storm-riders site on the membership section. Just need to select the "Club only" option.

http://www.storm-riders.com.au/membership/

Registration fees can also be done via that site for the entire series but you can also pay per event for registration on the day if thats easier or you dont think that you will get to all events.

Hope this helps. Give me a bell if you need any more info. The notice of series is on the tour.windsurfingnsw.com/slalom-tour/ website for more info on racing rules etc.

Cheers
David

SE 20knots is on the cards now! Starting to get a bit excited.....

yeah, looking a bit average now, but we will be there with out fingers crossed.
We only need 12 knots, so we may be ok?

Thanks James, you beat me to it. The event is Cancelled due to lack of wind.

I really hope we didn't put too many people out by cancelling on the day.

There are a couple of lessons that we can take away from the day.
1 - We need to have a pre-registration with emails and mobiles why?
a - So we have an idea of numbers so we can organise some logistics.
b - We need to be able to cancel on the day i.e at 7am when the forecast has changed dramatically. I could have texted, emails and posted a cancellation to save everyone the effort of coming, as i'm sure we all have better things to do on zero wind days.
c - This location has too few car parks. Even today it was almost fill at 9.30am.

Anyway, sorry for the late notice....but the potential for great 1 day events is the way forward.... we just need to keep learning and we will all get better and more windsurfing in....cheers

Despite almost zero wind, it was a beautiful afternoon out on the water. Maybe next time...

When were you there? We were down at Kyeemagh around 3.30pm and it was quite windy with a cool onshore wind. Unfortunately I left my wetsuit at home However back at home and checking the graphs it looked like the wind finished up around 4pm.

maybe we should move Sundays event to Saturday......much better forecat!

Brett do you want us to email/message you our mobile numbers to start a list of people you can contact should we can the event like last time?????
And can I suggest moving to the Kyeemagh new carpark to cater for parking...

If slalom is moved to Saturday some of us will have to choose between FW at Marmong and slalom in Sydney. Bugger that wind! So if I am not there, that will be why.

Have fun dudes, won't make it with the day change!
