Marrawah Wave (Round 3 wave) competition will be held on the weekend of 19-20th January.

The competition will be in the usual format of Expression Session which means everyone sails and we all vote for the best sailor on the day for women, men and juniors.
All competitors must be a member of Windsurf Tas and for those that aren't already members you can join on the day for $50 which gives you 12 months membership.
The briefing will be at 9am at Greens Beach so just turn up.
If you want more information contact Ant Houston 0417577884

This is a fun weekend for everyone , and anyone that hasn't sailed Marrawah....this is a MUST.......so even if you're not interested in the comp we can all sail together.

You have all seen those crazy Red Bull shots which is enough to send everyone running in the opposite direction well Marrawah is usually pretty tame and is a great place to sail so long as you can water start.....so don't be put off.
If the conditions are not right for your level it's only a 45 min drive to Stanley for the best flat water sailing in the state.

There will be a BBQ Saturday night at the Beach Cottage, Greens Beach and everyone is welcome

Would hate to have seen what would've happened if it was a big day

Sorry I just had to

I'm sure you could handle this Jez....................................umm?[}:)]

Tappo ripping on a SUP.
I will be there from 12th to 20th

That looks fun, I've already packed my sup

Me too nothing quite like the feeling of loosing ones gear!!!

I've been "allowed" to go back, a few caveats like don't sail BOL, don't go out in 40+ knots, don't touch the water if the swell is >5m. But without photo evidence it didn't happen

I'm in for the weekend so can't wait, will be the start of 2 weeks holidays.

Ben and I will be up either sailing Stanley or marrawah....we will prob campat greens...can't wait

Looks like there's already a few signed up for this weekend.................should be some pretty cool prizes.......................should be...............might have to bring your own...........but then there's always the glory of competing in the most pretegious wave comp for the year..............but then again if you don't compete there's always a beer going at the end of the day

I was thinking of comming across from Melbourne. It's on next weekend 19/20 right?

Yeah thats right, next weekend.
Keep an eye on the forum/forcast so you know if it is worth the trip for you.
Great social event anyway!.

Long range forecast has Friday looking good.
For those who can get here early, maybe a Friday arvo session

saturday could turn into a classic southerly seabreeze but the high need to drop a bit...

there is only going to be a moderate swell, so nobody should be worried about loosing there gear at bol...

Yeah you're right Nick the swell looks pretty moderate so we'll plan to hold the comp on Saturday
Remember anyone can enter, the more people in the more fun we'll have.

Looking foward to this weekend... Not sure how I would go in the expression session though

Good luck with the weekend.

Just have a question is there any accomodation that can be recommended at Marrawah. Family friendly?

Cheers EB

Update from Marrawah.
Looking good for friday & sat. Surf is pumping this am
Had some good sailing up here sat & sun last.
See you up here

Cant wait

Hope to be in the water by 11am Friday, either Greens or Bluff. If anyones after an 82 litre Quad I'll have one there for sale $500 great condition, JP 2010.

Leaving burnie around 8 am Friday,

Should be a great weekend, really looking forward to it.

Can't get there until later Friday Thankgod Saturdays still looking alright still

I'm going to try and leave Launceston around Lunch time. Hopefully make it in time for an arvo session, even if that is just beers

Ben and I are sailing Stanley Friday arvo then camping at marrawah Fri and Sat. night....hopefully wind will stay for Sat.

I'm leaving about 6am, Nathan reckons it's looking good for tomorrow and Saturday
Grevill you'll get a sail tomorrow evening

Suggest we all meet at Greens 11am Saturday for briefing, if anyone is coming later than say 12 noon ring me on 0417 577884 or Kaleb on 0417 163603 around 11am just in case we leave Greens and head down to Bluff.
Looks at this stage Greens will be the spot.

I'll have membership forms for those that aren't already members.
This is a fun day so anyone can enter the comp but no pressure, if you don't want to enter we still all sail together.
For those who want to take it seriously there are two cartons of stubbies for anyone that beats Buzzy

Don't forget barbie and 'quiet little drink' Saturday night at Beach Cottages, Greens Beach

All the best guys hope you enjoy that feeling of free wave energy on a nice wave board. Such a wild place so special.
Cheers Russ
Hope someone takes pictures

Yep, good luck guys, forecast is looking really good, hope you get some great conditions.

A couple of pics in from Houstons cottage in Marrawah





Have a great trip guys

Best of luck everyone. Hope you get good wind and waves

Briefing now being held at Bluff at 11am

Anyone who doesn't know where that is just ask the locals or check the spotguide website

Currently wind pretty light....... Can only hope it comes in

So, how'd it go?
Any photos?

Great weekend, but not the best wind/waves
I think I completed the GCC with the walking back up the beach.
Not sure if anyone got photos.

The word is that Jordan pulled off a double forward, Ant is still building the guts to do it.

Quack

Fos you may have down played it down a touch

Friday at Bluff was what I would say pretty bloody good. Sure it wasn't "epic" but sometimes that's nice for a change.
Waves were shoulder high but some good rides were up for the taking. Cross wind is always a bit fickle on the inside but planing on a 5.0m out the back which is pretty usual for the Bluff.
10 sailors out on the water which is the best for quite a few years at that spot

Saturday wasn't good enough to hold the comp but still we got the sail we didn't expect.
Checked out Bluff but too onshore and very light so headed off for a leisurely SUP on the river and our Captain Morgs went fishing.
Went back to Greens and found a very light but still sailable cross wind with small but nice waves. Again about 8 sailors hit the water.

At the end of the day we all met along with a crew who'd been sailing Stanley for the quiet little drink.
The Stanley crew who thought the wave boys were a touch boring headed to the pub for a hens night. Ben who we we always thought was a girl got picked out by the bride to be for a lash and a session on the dance floor.........Paul you can explian why Ben was picked out.

All in all a great weekend

Anyone take any pics?
