Hello Wave Sailors
Well it's that time again.....It's time to kick off the 2012/13 Victorian Wave Sailing Season and this year is going to be bigger and better! The event window is officially open from NOW to the end of March.
Following in the success from last year's series, this season's format very similar with a few tweaks. All wavesailing events will be on call apart from the scheduled events such as Melbourne Cup Weekend down at Sandy Point. If we are fortunate with the weather and get more than 3 events, we are going to allow each competitor to disregard their worst result. This will help the title contenders if they cannot compete at all the events. In continuing to encourage beginners and intermediates into wave sailing, we will host another wavesailing clinic when weather permits down at Sandy Point to get more people into the waves and provide a few tips to the up and comers. We are also want to try and keep pushing everyone to try new moves by spicing up the some of the expression sessions and offering prizes for windsurfers who pull the trigger and make their first loop or launch into their first aerial for example. Another thing to keep on the radar is “King of the Bay” held at the world famous break Pookipa (aka Elwood beach in front of the poo pipe!). This will be a standalone event with an event window starting after Christmas and could be any day of the week when the wind gets 25 knots plus south, south westerly.
We will notify you when the comp is on via email, SMS,
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Victoria/, Facebook & Twitter. To make sure you're on the contact list please email your name, email address and phone number to: admin@vicwavesailing.org and we will make sure to let you know when the forecast is looking good!
For all the other details, please log into www.vicwavesailing.org which is continually being updated with the latest competition format, results, sailing locations and news.
So get out your rosary beads, start your wind and wave dance or whatever you think brings the wind and waves because the next promising forecast we will be kicking off the 1st Event of the Victorian Wave Sailing Series at a beach near you!
We hope to see you there and spread the word!
