Just reminder about Northern Wave Event this coming weekend.

Alan is going to call it closer to the day.

Clarence

Two weekends time MARRAWAH WAVE event.

More details will go up before the event.

Clarence

oleee!!I am so keen!!!

The forecast for Marrawah is not looking great for the weekend at this stage. Kaleb is going to call it shortly, but it is not looking promising right now.

Clarence

Not a great forecast for the freerace this Sunday but it might be ok for some messing about with longboards and a BBQ if there is enough interest.

Cheers Al

The forecast is looking mildly respectable at this stage- could still be on.

Clarence

Ok so the forecast is still pretty up and down for Sunday so it is probably best to call the event off. My best guess is that Stanley is looking pretty good for Sunday for those who don't mind a bit of a mission.
