The Windsurfing Tasmania curcuit guide says there's a Slalom Racing/GPS/Fun (round 2) on the weekend of the 15th & 16th Jan, is this still on?

Thought I'd shove it up on the site so people know it's on, if it is, as I think it is.
Hawley is one of the best flat water sailing spots in Tassie, great for speed and just freeride blasting.

Also Bakers Beach just out through the heads is great for jumping and those who dare is the ideal spot to learn to loop, trust me I've spent days trying and never succeeded.

Izaak what's the go?

Of course this event is on!! Has always been a really fun weekend and i am really looking forward to it Cant wait to maybe see a couple more members than usual this year

Yes it's all go,would be great if everyone can let as many people know as possible it would be nice to have a big turn out.It should be fine to camp on the front block at my house as few guys have done in the past, If the forecast looks ok.I will keep everyone up to date with the forecast later to date.

I'll be up there this weekend, hope there's some wind.
Not sure about next weekend, negotiating activities with my better half.

I'm going up, Negotiations have been completed and have been signed off (Well i said i was going ) looking forward to it

That's the way Jez, just stand up and lay the law down. If that doesn't work, go the back hand method!
Thats where you let her beat you with the back of her hand until she's satisfied, then feeling bad because she's made you bleed so much she lets go! Works a treat

Great to see that reaction, need to get the word around, especially in Launceston and the coast, make it bigger than the Dorans Extravaganzer

I'll put it on the Vic forum cos I'm pretty sure there's a few guys coming over for the Marrawah week and it will top there trip off nicely with a bit of speed/freestyle/blasting.

Also great to get a few up from the south, it's only a 2.5 hr trip from Hobart to Hawley.

I can't make it as a week at Marrawah will be enough for Prue, unless when I'm driving home I get lost and end up at Hawley, I'll just play my cards when the time comes.

Fos, any chance of putting this on top of the forum with the Marrawah Fun Week.

Let's get this cranking

Ant if you blend in a bit of site seeing and touring with Prue at Marrawah, she may not be able to resist Hawley.

I will do my best to be there, should be heaps of fun.

I will be there as well as two others..will get the word out around Launie. Looking at camping at the Lions caravan park if I can get in. Will probably come up on the Friday night.
Heres a pic of the speed run if you haven't seen it before. I think thats Izaak.

Karen, I'll have to play my cards right, starting off on a good note staying in the best spot at Greens
Rustbucket thats a good shot

Im in, been down to see the speed run... sorta what got me interested.. any other "newbies" coming?

depending how the whole camping at greens goes, we should be there

I'm going solo, will be driving up first thing Sat morning and have booked into the Shearwater Resort for Sat night, which should only be a stones throw away from the action. If anyone wants to crash on the foldout sofa bed they're welcome to.

Might even have to throw the golf club in for a quick 9

Izaak, Clyde & I will probably camp in the spare block.

Not bad but enough to be getting really pissed off

Yep me and Maxine as well - thanks

Did you stuff your back buzzy while sitting at the computer??

I'll be there, probably head up early Saturday with Geri. Steve will be coming up as well. Sounds like it should be a good turnout.

Remember that you will need to be a member of Windsurfing Tasmania to compete in the slalom, so if you're not already, get your form in. Membership on the day will be OK too. Also bring a lifejacket if you have one. There should be plenty of spares for anyone who doesn't have one (just for the racing).

As said in another forum.....Forecast looking quite good 15-20NW Saturday and Sunday 20-25WNW sunny and 24deg both days.
So come along to Hawley for some great fun sailing.

Won't be coming to Hawley now, broke my slalom mast at Stanley so can't use my slalom sails until I get another 460 fat mast. Don't particularly want to race with wave sails. Came back to Hobart this arvo....was a bit over the rain and spending the cash on accommodation. Had a ball at Stanley though, good to catch up and sail with the guys from up north.

Coooool, looking forward to it

looking quite good now for the weekend forecast Saturday is 20-25 WNW,sunny 25deg....Then Sunday is 15-20 NW,sunny 24deg so should be a good weekend.

Can't make it to Hawley, I'm back at work after finding out Wed night our factory in Brisbane was 2.5 M under water.......but s.... happens.

More importantly the forecast looks good and you're going to have a ball this weekend.

Look out for a Germany couple who rang me yesterday, I told them about Hawley and they were keen to get over there so if you see them make them welcome. Could not quite get his name but it sounded like Bjorn. They are watching this site so hopefully they find there way over.
They are really keen on Marrawah next week as they're into waves so if somebody, Kaleb if you're there, could draw a few maps of all the good wave spots

Have a great time everyone.....I'm sooo jealous

sorry guys couldn't make it - I've still go tthis man flu, anyways someon post and tell us whats happening ?

The wind is starting to blow (AUS02 from Jordan's laptop)

Devonport airport has 20knots WNW

Hope you guys shove up some photos, sounds like a fantastic weekend

Photos to come, hope to get them up tonight
