How many guys regularly windsurf in Tas ? Numbers seem quite healthy. Would there be 150?

50 to 100 max I would say , seems more
because 30 very regulars make enough noise

Couldn't guess how many but on a recent good day up north I counted 15 on the water. This was in pretty strong winds so there wouldn't have been any of the newer riders out. Such a small community that everyone knows everyone else and when we get together it is always party time.

I'm with Izaak I reckon easily over 100 and growing
Hard core regulars probably half that
Last year we got 115 in Hobart and I think about 40 in Lonny to a movie night most of those were sailors with kids that didn't include a few on the NW coast

Just too many now in Tassie gotta line up for a wave it just gives me the .................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of sponsored sailors down here...I reckon about %70 percent ......its like a "save the children sponsorship" but for windsurfers in third world poppy growing agrarian economies like Tasmania....there is some ADHD down here but not much ART....except in Hobart....enough said...
