Worth noting that you need to be a WV member to participate.

I can certainly testify to other "B graders" that last years events (I sailed at Waratah and Pt Impossible), were very good fun. And as a wave novice there was zero pressure and plently of time to sail outside the days format with other newbies.

Get into it.

Great to hear!
For next season we really want to focus on giving a lot more sailors new to waves an opportunity to come and have a sail in the waves at a spot where it’s safe, not to difficult and there will be plenty of guys around to offer a hand..
We are going to be keeping an eye on the conditions and if the wind guru’s make the call it will be good learning conditions at a safe location i.e. Sandy pt we will really try and push the point that the upcoming weekend will be a ‘beginner friendly’ day and in conjunction with one of the rounds we will have some of the more experienced guys on hand to do a quick instructional course on wavesailing in the hope to get a few more guys out there!

We want to be able to help guys out with everything they need to know from what gear to rig to how to bottom turn or even some tips for guys wanting to try their first loops etc..
Keep your eyes posted on the website & soon to be announced Facebook page!
Also working on an SMS system to get the word out when the conditions are on!!


Any more requests/comments speak up now!!

they are supposed to be over weekends so change dates accordingly i guess...

Al are you planning another trip to Marrawah this year, let me know if you're coming over, we're planning the week from Sat 8th Jan to Sun 16th

yeah i will be back down at some stage. maybe a quick trip early jan depending on the forecast but otherwise will probably spend a few weeks there after the nationals in feb/early march.

Whats the go for entering? Im not a member of anything either can I do it all on the day?

FOR THE RECORD - someone has made a mistake as the dates that have been put up on the website are from last year explaining why they are out by a day.

the dates above are correct and someone will be updating the website soon.

friday and saturday are shaping up nicely at this stage so hopefully everyone can get out in the waves for some practise before it all starts up.

zac - you need to be a member of windsurfing vic for insurance purposes. you will probably be able to sign up to the actual wavesailing comp on the day but it would be easier if you've already signed up.

Anyone thinking of coming down to Marrawah let us know on the tassie forum, it's always good to catch up with you guys and marrawah is one of the BEST wave spots in Aus

Hey guys sorry about the confusion about the dates.. all fixed up now!

So the official start to the season is next weekend - 18th or 19th
