It looks like this year's Merimbula Classic is turning in to Australia's biggest Foil demo!
All the top Foil brands will be there with gear to try and froth over. Along with all three new Foil Assist Systems-
FliteLAB Ampjet. Duotone Foil assist. FoilDRIVE
One of my favourite Wind and Wave festivals, this year it is looking even better with the usual antics on and off the water:
- endless BBQ
- Beach Bar open from 4pm each day
- Endless Foil, Wing , wind, wave and SUP chat.
- Stomping 'Out of this world' themed party Saturday night.
- Presso now Sunday afternoon from 2pm
Can't wait! See you there kiddies - Nov. 27-30th

Bring it on there with bells on

I've been 3 times and strongly recommend it for anyone from expert to spectator and any discipline.

All paid and entered Is the theme out of this world ( Alien)

Great event they should have a WA year and have it over here

Being the ocean sports lover that I am, I can't believe I have never made it to a Merimbula.
It always coincides with one of the best weekends (or couple of weeks) for events in WA.

Over the years there has been The Doctor surf ski and sup race, Lighthouse to Leighton kite race, King of the Cut, what was an epic SUP downwind and in the end a SUP Sup foil and wing race.

This year again there is a massive 10 days in WA for down winding, Downwind week, which is mainly for surf skis but for the first time foils are allowed in every race.
3 x SSS Sunset Surf Ski races Port Beach to City Beach.
West Coast Downwinder Port Beach to Sorrento
Then on the same weekend as Merimbula the iconic Doctor Race from Rottnest to Sorrento

Merimbula sounds like an awesome weekend but once again I'll be giving it a miss, it's probably the only week that I wouldn't leave WA for it.
I hope we get good conditions on both sides of the country that weekend.

It may be Australia's biggest foil demo but unfortunately a heap of Australia's best foilers won't make it as they will be in WA.
It is nice to have choices though.
