Special thanks to those who've already registered! There will be racing suitable for all skill levels and there are plenty of activities for any family members or friends who aren't sailing. Latest forecast is for good winds across the four days of the event. Our weather guru at the Gold Coast said 'Statistically speaking the Gold Coast has great winds for windsurfing every Australia Day Weekend, year after year', There was a good turnout for the Rye Nationals last season. Let's try and build on that! The guys in Queensland especially, have been working towards this event for ages.

Cheers
Roger (president)
