Burrum Windfest 2016 - '10th Birthday Celebration'

prelim dates. Mon 7th March 2016 - Sat 12th March 2016.

Speed HQ is possibly moving to 'The Grand', which is situated on the esplanade further towards the boat ramp.

It is our intention for this coming event to push the hell out of it and encourage everyone to come. Help make our 10th birthday a big one. forget dwelling on the wind! come and make a holiday of it.

If you have thought over the past few years you'd like to come but haven't pushed the button then 2016 IS the year to do it!

the format is simple. longboard racing in the morning, speed/slalom racing in the afternoon and parties at night. we have boats on the water and a general area to sail depending on daily wind direction. it's mate against mate on the same stretch of water. turn up, strap on a gps and blast or battle it out on the race course against Australia best or do both!

swoooooosh,.,....

Hopefully not a stupid question....

Where is burrum?

I put it in google maps and it came up in Central Victoria.

It's near Hervey Bay. Type Burrum River or Burrum Heads into google maps instead.

yep 7Tim is onto it.

it's about 30 minutes drive north of hervey bay on the burrum river. in google earth you can se the outlines of the sand banks. main one being about 4km long.

Letting everyone know the Windfest 2016 website is now online.

Also very happy to announce we have added SUP's to the program.

Hervey Bay Stand Up Paddle are working with us to include Paddle Boarding in the Windfest program. Graham will be conducting try paddle board sessions for the general public during the event. The finale for the SUP program is a formal race on the final day of Windfest.

Excellent! Super keen. It'll be my first if I can make it!

You should do it.

Maaate. Of course I should, but it's a question of whether I could at the time. It's a long way off still.

Right now I'm very keen and booked the time in with the boss (me).
