What type of windsurf boards can go in it? e.g.. One Design, Formula, slalom.......
Same question as Kazza and are boards available for hire or purchase at the event?
Obviously i'm a bit too green to attend this event, BUT I had a look at the notice of race and it does say Open Windsurfers. I recon it would be bring whatever you have and the scoring will be yardsticked - much like the bellerive crown series with its different divisions.
The regatta is open to all “off the beach” dingy, multi hull, windsurfer and Hansa classes. The host organisation will accept all board types.
For inquiries regarding the hire of boards please contact the Paradise Point Sailing Club - ppscinc@bigpond.com

As per the Notice of Race we have opened the whole event to all classes so as to boost numbers rather than leave possible competitors out and as far as racing is concerned. Therefore all windsurfing craft will be accepted. Scoring will be by normal yardstick.
