The forecast is looking good for the first WT wave sailing event this Saturday. At the moment there's a solid westerly forecast increasing through the afternoon. If conditions are good this will be the WT wave sailing state titles with $250 of prize money to share between the competitors.
Start time will be 12 midday.
To compete you will need at least the $35 WT membership.
There will be heats rather than an expression session format.
I'm pretty confident that conditions are good for Saturday in which case the will be the state titles and the winner will have bragging rights.
Entries can be taken on the day but internet mobile coverage at Bell Buoy is average
I'm out of action with a wrist full of metal and 5 broken ribs. Remember that windsurfing can be a dangerous sport! But falling onto dirt and rocks will break you quicker!! Have fun everyone

Multiple fractures seems to be part of the package for MTB riders. Sounds painful, hope you recover soon.

Bell Buoy produced some good conditions for the contest on Saturday. With a gusty 28 to 35 knot westerly and a mid sized swell there were opportunities for both jumping and riding but it was probably more of a wave riding day. There was at least one point when conditions went ballistic and it gusted over 50 knots scattering gear around and forcing everyone of the water.
The highlight for me was seeing all the youth division deal with the conditions. James, Lachy and Sanden all sailed well. In all there were six on the water which given the short notice was ok, both Paul and Luka got some nice waves in the variable conditions.
Lachy (at 14) showing a level of athleticism that most of us only vaguely remember. Lachy, James and Sanden followed up their sailing with a 1.5 hour surf!
Thats great. I hope the young guys keep at the sport.
Looks like they are super keen. Loops and goitres next.
Thats a great aerial from Lachy
Looks like you had some challenging conditions but a lot of fun. Great to see the youngsters in there sending it...well done. The pics look awesome
So ,Stoked
to see the young,
ol,boys havi"n A crack.
Nice airs, and wave riding.
Watch out Jordan.??????????????????????????????????.
Well done to the young lads.
We don't do anywhere near enough to encourage the next gen into windsurfing.
Many kids I take out for a ride don't even know what the sport is called.
