Well WAVE RALLY 2 just happened and it went off. Massive thanks to the sponsors, volunteers and entrants for helping take the event to new heights.

It was decided to run the 3 day event window with a 2 day competition as the Sunday had little wind and swell. And that was the right decision because we had epic conditions for the Friday and Saturday.

Friday we were able to complete 40 heats, 10 minutes apart in 25 knots of wind with great waves. This was the first time Wave Rally was able to showcase the event's concept in firing conditions and it didn't disappoint. Fast paced exciting action tested all the riders and even though the heats lasted around 6 minutes it was surprising how much of a workout it was!

Saturday the wind and waves continued and it culminated in the weight category finals and 'Championship Final' which saw Anton Pain a Geraldton local become the Wave Rally World Champion! Jesper Orth won the sailing race back to the beach however Anton's younger legs gave him the win in the epic beach sprint. Wait till you see the video it was classic. Albert Pijoan last years champ came in third to complete a well deserved podium place.

Special mention to Avan Griffith who was probably the fastest sailor on the water however got unlucky with a beach start and fell on an outside gybe which saw him lose the opportunity to make the Mega Final.

It really was an epic few days and I was able to get great footage which will help me secure more sponsors and funding for the future.

Watch this space, I'll post videos as I get them done.... be patient I'm very busy!

Hi Paul, Can you please advise if sail numbers are required for this event ? I take it they are not as the rashies presumably numbered supplied by event organisers for temporary competition use will identify the sailors and replace the sail numbers. Is this correct ? Thanks and Kind Regards, Richard

Hi RichardG yes that's correct. No sail numbers are needed. You wear numbered event rashies for the heats.

Cheers,
PVB

Let's go! It's going to be a classic event if this forecast holds up. Would love to see you there.

To line up a windy weekend with an event such as this doesn't happen often. Please support it so I can show the local government and stakeholders windsurfing is worth investing in.

Cheers!
