Hello

This will be the 20th Annual Regatta and Music Festival. Worthington is a small town located between cornfields on a high bluff called Buffalo Ridge. We have very good winds, sometimes very high winds.

The music is outdoor, beachside, and completely free. It is performed right on the Beach. This year it is a #1 Country Hit Band PARMALEE.

If there is enough interest, we may find a few GW60 GPS units, and have a speed sailing competition during the 3 day event. $500 to the top rider.

We have hosted riders from UK, France and Belgium, and Australia as well.

Allison Shreeve AUS911 was here in 2008. The winds were over 35 knots for all 3 days. Allison managed to sail her 9.0 Formula Gear in these extreme conditions. She was a great sportsman, and a welcome guest.

Here are some links to videos of past events:

Thatd be a Helluva fun festival to attend! About time Woodford festival met the beach. Choosing a suitable venue would be the issue.
Gestalt, Maybe it could be linked to Caloundra Music festival?

Perhaps a few musicians who windsurf could get on board?

Iva Davies from Ice House?

A few guys from Dire Straits too

The Worthington Wind and Music Festival is set for early June every year. I have not attended the festival, but I have sailed the lake there at other times. Great place. Windy.

I live in eastern WA state. I can drive up to I-90, put the van in cruise control and bomb many many hours east on I-90 all the way to Worthington. This would be a great application for a self-driving truck.

Well Icehouse is Playing in Townsville in July - maybe get Iva on a board again. Recent message from him he doesn't sail any more due to sinus problems when at the beach etc.
