With Heat One of the Series kicking off less than one week away (Saturday/Sunday 21/22 Oct) at George Reserve Salamander Bay, Port Stephens, it's time to sign up and get ready for a great weekend away. This series is organised by Marmong Point Sailing Club and supported by our generous sponsor Dave from Kite and SUP / Foil Board Sports in Newcastle.

Registration Link:
marmongpointsc.square.site/

More race information:
www.windsurfingnsw.com/classes/slalom/

The Series is focused on maximum time on the water and the least amount of stuffing around, no matter what kit you are on be it Wind Wing, Windsurf fin or Windsurf foil.

Races are a simple format and by attending and taking part your technique will improve, you will learn new skills and see if you really are fast! Across the fleet there is always someone to race and that's what these events are about, not to forget the social side as well.

We intend to kick off either GPS sessions or some slalom racing from 11:00am on Saturday.

Last year provided great conditions on the water, along with good times off the water at near by establishments for catch ups and talking all things us water people talk about.

Social activities anticipated
Friday night - Cheeky Dog Bar (Bannisters)
Saturday night - Soldiers Point Bowling Club

Some people are also heading up on Friday to extend the weekend and likely to freesail from George reserve friday afternoon also.

In addition the remainder of the Series events are listed on our poster above. Of particular note Heat 3 incorporating the State Titles at Myall Lakes over 3 days 1st, 2nd and 3rd December. For those that haven't experienced sailing the Myall Lakes it's a must, not to mention the opportunity to have a great weekend away with plenty of sailing and racing.

Accommodation at Myall Shores is tight and limited, however there are multiple alternatives including Bulahdelah (14 min drive) or Hawks Nest (23 minutes) + short ferry ride. We hope to attract windsurfers and wingers from up and down the east coast (including QLD) to this event, so book it in and lets make windsurfing great again.

Anyone requiring additional information do not hesitate to contact Murray on 0429 875 355 or Kite and Sup Foil Board Sports 4954 2118.

and some bandages just in case

Thanks to Ian and Jeff on the boat, and to Muz and Byron for all the organising. It was great to see everyone, and the conditions certainly sorted the men from the boys. Remi showed a clean set of heels to everyone else in the lumpy and windy conditions. Lots of photos to come!

Next event is here on Lake Mac - 11th or 12th Nov (forecast dependent).

would be great to see the results and photos

We will base on the first Right hand side car park going in.

Seconded, that was a great day out, well worth the trip up

Looks like fun. Great vids.

The NSW Slalom State Titles started on Friday 1/Dec/2023.

We were greeted to some mild conditions to get us started. A gentle 8-14kt ESE shifting to ENE and fading. 2 Races were run before the wind dropped to below foiling speeds and despite resetting the course by the time we went back out the day was done.

I was on my FMX 91 Hyperion with 9.1CHS foil sail and F4 660 with 210 tail. Good setup but needed a push to get flying... Byron was on similar (620) while most of the others were on 800 or larger front wings, and 9 or smaller sails.

Remi was the only rider on a Fin, with his large slalom board and 9m CHS sail, but the gybes were a challenge without a foil!






































Thanks to everyone that makes the event happen!

Georgio, it was so windy at the Port Stephens event the results page got ripped off the clipboard and blown out to sea. Which is a shame as I'm certain I was first in the fins

What an event Myal delivers again with 6 races.
such a beautiful place with sandy launch sites stepping from your camp site into to 26 deg fresh water with no weed and no jellyfish what the hell is not to like about it.
wildlife everywhere
friendly like minded people enjoying windsurfing and the serenity of this place and not to mention a little bit of social drinking.
siting on your chair on the waters edge with wine and beer watching the sun set with friends just special memories .
congratulation to all who raced including some first timers who all had big smiles on there face , it's all about fun and enjoyment and I have no doubt you improved your skills from this great weekend away.
thanks to everyone who helped make this event happen and there are quite a few to pull off such a great event.

Gday guys, I put together a vloggy type video of the event. Got some footage of nearly everyone in the last half of the video. My first vlog video, first time at this event and my second race ever - gotta say, it was fantastic! Thanks to the organisers!
Anyway, hope you enjoy it!
Cheers! Bryce.

Top effort Bryce!
