Come along to the Learn to Windsurf/Fun Day, Lagoon Bay, Low Head on the 17th and 18th November

If you are keen to give windsurfing a crack or have a friend that's keen, come along and meet some of the local sailors who will be there to help you get started on the windsurfers provided.
All you need to bring along is a wetsuit, wetsuit boots and a life jacket

Ben Wilson/Paul Tenteye/Al Cook are organising this event and will be stoked with anyone that can help on the day.

We will have the BBQ running with a few snags and soft drinks.

This day is all about fun and that's what's windsurfing is all about.

If you want any more information or can help on the day please contact Ben at Ph 0400638795 or email: bearhooverpup@bigpond.com

Keep watching this post for more information

Well if you can organise the wind I'll be there.

There seems to be a bit of interest in the weekend so hopefully we get some nice conditions.

Here is some photos of some youngsters ripping up Lagoon last Saturday and one of me sailing Bell Buoy earlier in the day.

Pass the word around to your mates or anyone you think might be keen, the last few learner days have been fantastic and heaps of fun

Fair bit of interest in this one which is great. If your available to help teach or even run the BBQ we would really appreciate all the help we can get!

People are encouraged to bring some meat and drinks for "tea on the Tamar" Saturday night. I'm
Sure there will be plenty of exaggerated stories told..

Tell your mates, tell your neighbors....tell the kite surfers....Tell everyone!!

Cheers
Ben

Bump.... not long to go now!

May come up on the Saturday and help out. See how I'm sitting with my exam timetable first.

Thanks Izaak, that would be great.

Bring a board.. last 2 Learner days have bought on Short board conditions later in the day

Dad and I will be up Saturday. Depending on wind that maybe somewhere else. We will bring the two learner boards along.

Thanks guys, the help is very appreciated and thanks for bringing the learners rigs...

Forecast is looking good with light winds in morning building to moderate westerly later in day.....

Dont forget the Saturday night wind down BBQ (BYO) and we will have the bbq running at lunchtime to keep people fed... Small donation to cover cost of BBQ is appreciated.

Bring plenty of fluids... this is gonna be an action packed awesome weekend!

Still a good forecast for learning both days.. Chance of a seabreeze in the afternoon

Tide will be best for learning from around 11am onwards Saturday...Will be able to stand in most places, great for learning.

Looks like we will have some good learning conditions for both days

Forecast still looking great for learning with westerly pattern all weekend.

We will be getting started with the rigging at 10:30 with sailing from 11am.

We will have a BBQ at lunch time with donation to cover costs, bring plenty of fluids and sunscreen!

Ben, we have offered the services of one of Soouthern Tasssies best instructors. She's not bad at tossing a snag as well
Have a good weekend and hope you guys get a few more people into the sport.

Sorry guys, I'm volunteering to work with her down the end of the beach

Winds look perfect for learning, very little chop/swell/waves, we should be able to get some hooked I reckon!!

Thanks Damo.... I would accept the help but she wasnt wearing a buoyancy vest...

Look harder Ben - they're "built in's"

Why reference gay Google maps when you have the ultimate spot guide???

I've had a change of plans so I'll be there.

Thanks mate, and I must say I thought the same thing - shame on Ben... Must have been 25kg bbq pissed ey Ben?

But, new and improved (in progress) www.thespotguide.com.au

sorry mate, yeah at least 25kg... wish I still had the bbq pic

Have a good one tomorrow guys

Wind didn't really play ball but alot of people came down and either helped out, watched or had a go. For those new to the sport it was ideal. At one stage there was 11 rigs on the water. Anyway some great weather, to those that maybe about or interested. Its on again tomorrow, so bring along some friends, family and let everyone know. Was great to get a couple of mates keen on their gear they have brought and are now eager to get out with james, Jordan and i.

Great weekend with perfect learning conditions. Had a lot of people coming through and I am sure a few will take it up.
Big thanks to everyone that helped... I had a ball!

Thanks Guys, had a great day yesterday and today, lots of fun even though the wind was a little light at times. Well organised. Also a couple of pics I took yesterday.
Cheers

Yea was a great weekend - I'm still heaps tired!

I reckon we've got half a dozen hooked on windsurfing after our weekend. A super amount of effort went into this weekend, and as an official non-member of WT, I'd like to thank Paul, Ben and Al for all their efforts (and Team Perks!).

A great community to be a part of, and these guys showed the utmost dedication to promoting the sport and having fun - it was a pleasure to be part of it all.

"Hey Hombre we need more wiind"

Had a great weekend and a good turnout of new sailors on both days. The wind was a bit light on Sat. but good to get a few started and Sunday was a little better wind wise to start with but then died off when the rain came.
The BBQ and Marquee worked well and the Windsurfing Tas. learner gear was on the water all the time so getting plenty of use. We had interest from about 6 people to take up the offer of the use of the gear in the near future.
A big thank you to Ben, Johnny, Al, Hamish, team Perks and everyone else who helped and participated in the event. Also a big thank you to Rod for coming all the way from St.Helens...great job on the BBQ. Looking forward to the next one in January...
Paul

Nice one guys, it looks like it was a great day

Well done,
and don't forget John, you can become an official member if you want
