After discussions with some of the guys down south and the success of the learner day in the north we have decided to hold another Learner/Fun Day in the south on Saturday 2nd March

Anyone who has never tried windsurfing and not sure how to start come along and give it a crack.
The Learner boards belonging to the club are very easy to learn on and there will be experienced sailors there to help you get going.

The local retailers will be there on the day to give anyone advice on the best gear to purchase for your level of sailing

If you have any friends that would be interested let them know and pass the word around.

There will be a BBQ fired up so bring along a few snags and drinks

Kick off will be 1pm till 5pm at either Doran's Rd Lauderdale or Honeywood Drive Cremorne depending on the direction of the wind, keep a close watch on this forum, we will make a call on the location on the Friday night before the day.

This is a low key no fuss fun event and everyone is welcome

Fantastic idea

Don't forget to pass the word around should be a bit of a hoot

This looks good for all those who missed out on the first one ( tooooo windddy!!!).
We will have our own qualified instructor straight from Europe as well. Thanks Mike.
Come along for a fun day

Sounds awesome, see everyone there!

Looking forward to checking out any gear suitable for teenagers & getting them on the water.

I've got a few 2nd hand wave boards to sell that will suit teenagers. I'll bring them along if you like.

It looks like it will be Cremorne lagoon, sw in morning swing to south East early aftenoon. This location will be confirmed tomorrow.
Please remember booties for oyster protection!!!
Bring your own food and refreshments, there will be a bbq to cook on if you wish to use it.

I am sooo looking forward to this

Bump and jump

Everyone coming to honeywood drive on Saturday please drive very slowly (10km/hr) on the reserve.
The residents are getting very sensitive about the dust caused by all the traffic on the dirt track.
We are very lucky we've got such a great spot to sail and we don't ever want to see access closed to this site.
Most of the residents are happy to have us there but we must repect there space and privacy
Cheers Ant

Looks like an ideal day for beginers tomorrow at the lagoon with light southeasterlies
Anyone not sure where to go contact Ant 0417577884 or Damo 0409854754

Thanks guys, I had a good time,I might not leave it another 30 years before I give it another go, looking forward to the next one.

Great day,
Thanks to everyone who helped and those who turned up.
There was up to 25 people on the water at times, Newbies and old !!!. It was brilliant to show some SUP and Kite mates what windsurfing has to offer.

Russ you thought yesterday was today but we didn't see you today so obviously you thought today was yesterday

I was going to the pond, with wife and child, ended up wine tasting our way to Richmond and back.
Maybe that's what happened to Russ.

Had a heaps of fun with the boys early on the pond it was fantastic for them from 11 till 1.

I will post some pictures soon I have to reduce their size. Sim had a blast as well


sorry we missed everyone yesterday

Cheers Russ

Today is always yesterday as long as tomorrow is today,
Even today can not be yesterday the Russ Away.
