Yes sorry, pressed the wrong button. 30 is the minimum age, thanks for the correction.

Be thinking about you all pumping around the broadwater from Maui....

Anybody going to give it a go, da vecta knows the waters well he would clean up

Turn it up. Paul and Cam usually dominate there anyway. There will be a lot of shiny new gear by then so it could be a good first regatta for the season. It's not often that windsurfers are invited to be part of a wider sports program.

Tues 4th Nov to 6th. 3 day regatta for the Windsurfers.

I will most probably be there.

What windsurfer class is the racing? Haven't been able to get a straight answer from the organisers after two emails. I suspect its what ever you like so it might be wallys against formula. Anyone got the right answer?

Strange way to run an event. No handicap system?

i have not raced in a few years, i guess you need to be a member of a club/association?;

All participants are to hold a current Yachting Australia silver card and must provide their card number at the Paradise Point Sailing Club registration check-in before competition.

I would be backing a Raceboard (very fast growing class) against both of those. Although, legend has it that Steve Allen won a course race on slalom gear at the Lake once upon a time. Scary stuff.

yup I was in the race. it was also in marginal conditions. his level of skill is insane.

at burrum a slalom board also beat longboards/one designs around an upwind downwind course in about 12 knots. again person with a boat load of experience and skill.

Would love to but i'll be out of town.

I have entered

I've entered.

There's been a few late entries so the Pan Pacs organisers have confirmed that it's all on. Just a reminder that competitors need to register at the GC Convention Centre before Tuesday.

Also, I have a old Speed 250 Raceboard (that's still goes OK) if any one would like to borrow it for this event (I think you can still enter).

Thanks for the updates Tony

The Pan Pacs 2014 have been run and won by Richie Reynolds from Sydney. I picked up the silver and Steve Comiskey, who's shaping up to be a real contender, took out the Bronze. Lucas Dean took out the Gold in the youthful 30-40 age category and Tony Matta won the 50-60 category, whilst keeping the 'younger' guys very honest. A big thank you to John Murphy from PPSC for hosting windsurfing at the PPMGs. The excellent windward-return courses within a channel created some exciting close racing. I really enjoyed the racing and I have to say that the organisation of the PPMGs was exceptional! Although the turn out wasn't huge, the organisers are encouraged to build on this for the next one in two years time. It's nice for windsurfing to be part of a much larger event.
