Hi All,
We are still waiting on a flyer to be finished for the Green Island Nationals but I can tell you that they will be on and the dates will be from Monday the 24th of July until Friday the 28th of July.

This event is always one of the best on the windsurfing calendar, covering the Slalom, FreeRace and FreeStyle disciplines and located in one of the best windsurfing locations in Australia. There is a relaxing, party atmosphere, the wind is normally honking, it's warm and the waters are crystal clear.

Stand by for the flyer with all the final details.

Regards, Scot Farley (President Windsurfing Queensland)

Just a couple of questions.
Looking at being in Cairns while titles are on.
Where does ferry leave from ? Does any one know handy caravan park for ferry.
Can I leave my gear on Green Island during the week?
Will have some sailing gear with me not too fussed on the comp but happy to enter if it means I can leave gear on the island. Cheers

1. The harbour!
2. All approx 5-10min drive that I know of
3. Yes when your entered in the comp (limited 1 board 2/3 sails)? Check GI website for details

Is that photo of Kaleb & Jodie sunning themselves last year

See ya there Byron

27 here...its freezing in the NQ winter! Look forward to catching up with everyone next week!

Plenty of green arrows for Green Island ??



Should be a great event!

Me too!!!

It's pumping green arrows all week. Tides are really good. Slalom in the morning and freerace after. Tomorrow is planned for 3 rounds of slalom first up and a 1 hour freerace straight off the back all in the top pond.

Congratulations on winning the Green Island Slalom Nats in 2017 Max. Since you are living in NSW at the moment and even though there is an F in your sail number, I think NSW can count this one against QLD.

NSW are so desperate to get one up on QLD

Yes we are desperate, can you blame us!

There is a couple of great little video's on the Tassie page also, www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Tasmania/Green-Island-Updates-for-those-that-are-interested-?page=1#lastpost

the images from from last week will be going around for some time yet . Some of the 'drone' footage Ive seen that is 'yet to be released' is simply stunning ..there was also a 2nd camera out on day one at the gybe mark that will have some great shots, especially Bryn's 'I think I'll have a crack at a duck gybe at high speed double half turn twist and pike!"

If if you have a look on bookface for 'Billy Craig's Windsurfing' you can see heaps of pics also...

FTR...I slipped into a 8th over all, meters off 7th , most importantly taking out the 'Bryn & Jonesy Air B&B FR championship' considering on, 1 x 100ltr board and no race sails I'm pretty happy with that ...maybe need to gear up for 2018 and see if I can get to those 25knt hrs, felt like I was in 2nd gear compared to the top crew.

The plans are for another event in 2018 , so when you see the dates come up don't miss the chance to enter, I think next year it could sell out, would be great to see some more of the go fast Brissy guys up there :)
