Round 1 Wave Sailing Comp will be held in the South this weekend, either Sat or Sun 13-14 depending on the best forecast.

The location and briefing time will be determined closer to the event.

The format will be an Expression Session with a 4 person final.
An Expression Session means we all sail together as we would on a normal session in the waves. At the end of the session we all get to vote for who we think are the 4 best sailors on the day. Those 4 sailors will compete in the final to determine a result.

All competitors must be a member of Windsurfing Tas, you can join on the day if you're not already a member, we will have membership forms on the day. Competitive membership is $50 which covers all competitions for the season.
If you want more info contact comp organisers Damo 0409854754, Kaleb 0417163603, Ant 0417577884 or just Reply Post on this forum.

This is a fun event, whether you "think" you are a pro or just starting out in the waves for the 1st time you are all welcome and encouraged to compete.
Come and join da fun

Watch this post for an update

typical
WT organise a sailing event, that means sunny days and NO WIND

If it's on I will need a ride from some soft touch as the vans getting rust proofed this weekend

Is there any wind about? I may drive down. Only have a 4.5 wave sail at the moment. So i need 30knots thanks

Hello everyone! At this stage it is looking like SE seabreezes in the south. It is not ideal to run a wave event in light onshore conditions, but we'll have to take what we get.
Further notification will be given in the next day or so. There is a very slight possibility to hold the event either Saturday or Sunday at Clifton, but this is only a slight possibility at the moment and will rely on the flukey chance of a seabreeze.
Stay tuned!

Can I use the sup board a large wave sail?

You can use whatever you want Russ, but wont be running event until about 15-18knots

Izaak you'll be overpowered on a 4.5m......just be careful mate we don't want too much carnage......suggest you start with a practice run at BOL before you hit the big time down here


Saturday 13 October

No wind warning for Saturday for Storm Bay
Winds Southeast to southwesterly about 10 knots tending northeast to southeasterly later in the evening. Seas 0.5 to 1 metre.

Sunday 14 October
Winds West to northwesterly to 10 knots tending southwesterly during the morning then northeast to southeasterly 5 to 15 knots around midday. Seas Below 0.5 metres.

wow!! Sunday is cranking.

Seriously...

not looking good for a comp this weekend, you do need some sort of 15 plus wind to run an event, especially if onshore.
might happen, you never know so stay tuned to seabreeze for updates.

If totally unsure you can sms me on 0409854754.
Be warned i am always unsure!
cheers Damien

Clifton will be pumping this weekend......not for the faint hearted

Due to Houstons nuclear testing taking place at Clifton this weekend the wavesailing comp has been rolled over to next weekend.

This means everyone has the week to join windsurfing Tas ready for next weekend the 20 or 21 of October.

We might get a light seabreeze for the pond this arvo anyway.

So where do we get joining forms from?

FoS is updating last years, but it can still be found (and used) on the WT website (link at top of this forum).

Looking pretty good for Sunday!!

At this stage we're on Standby for Sunday. Stay tuned, doesnt look like anything epic, but Sandpits may be ok.
