AS a Pilot Trial, Crasher & I are going to organise an Informal Windsurfing Event in Mandurah on 16 and 17th of January A Giant Slalom RACE, the weekend following the Ledge to Lancellin. If it takes off, we will then establish a Formal Event the next year.
The basic format will be to do a long downwind slalom with legs of approximately 7kms making a 28km downwind slalom race on the peel Estuary.
Let us know what you think?
Update:
People keep asking me to go ahead with this so these are the latest ideas.
1. Keep it Unorganised and Unofficial, in order to escape Council permits insurance liabilities etc.
2. Expect Disorganisation, but hopefully a lot of FUN!!!!!!
3. Giant Slalom Event will mean starting and Finishing at Novara, Out 2 times, In 2 times with the second time finishing at the Start/Finsih Line. (No Driving and Pick-ups required that way)
4. Wind/Conditions may determine the non-official race may be changed to suit conditions.
5. If we get sponsorship offers (which have come my way), Prizes will be given randomly for just entering.
6. Make a BBQ and Social Event out of it.
7. Add in a Swap meet to boot.
8. Keep your ideas coming.
I will give it a go.Sounds pretty good hardie.giant speed slalom event
