Just as a reminder the competition this weekend is the 4th of five events – IE the penultimate event. The February event is not a teams event but the final scoring event for the 2011-12 series (as agreed at the AGM).
We will look to run the AGM on Saturday 18th February – if you want a say or provide input into the NSWWA then make sure you are in Gerroa on that day.
Thanks and see you on the weekend!
Just to let you all know that Remi from The Windsurfing Shed has donated an amazing amount of gear for the competition next weekend. Board and boom bags, sails and other very useful bits and pieces.
Come and compete and you might just end up with some great product.
Thanks Remi and The Windsurfing Shed.
See you in Gerroa (or Windang)!!
Pro’s, Ams, Ladies, Juniors, Masters and the yet to be decided, NSWWA in association with our event sponsor, The Windsurfing Shed and series sponsor Neil Pryde are proud to bring you Event 4 of the 2011/12 NSWWA season.
We are all hoping that conditions are similar to the last event at Gerroa (see our pictures to the right if you’re the only person in NSW not to have seen the pics!).
Please remember that this weekend is just after Australia Day so accommodation may be a little harder than usual to come by.
We hope to see the regulars and as many new competitors as possible.
See you in Gerroa! (or Windang if Southerly).
Luckily the NSWWA get to demo some of the absolute latest equipment from the best shapers in the world. Recently, we have been fortunate to demo a “hexo” board, shaped by an underground, boutique group of wavesailors who call their brand OKJE (pronounced Oak-Gee) after the four key sailors – Oli, Kai, Jason (not Polakow) and Ed. Before we get in to too much detail, we should point out that a “hexo” is what OKJE are phrasing their 6 finned board (as in hexagon). The design brief was straight forward, yet very hard to find the right solution that could be programmed into CAD. The brief was “design a board that had the lively feel, straight line speed, big drawn out turns of a single fin, the super snappy, exciting, brilliant frontside ability of a twin and the loose, grippy drive with top turn slide of a quad”. The one thing that wasn’t in the brief was to emulate the “fat boys” board, as OKJE had been reassured that this was covered off with a Gerroa specific 99ltr thruster.
Notice to competitors.
Due to the current forecast (very light ENE and storms) we have cancelled todays competition.
Next comp is the 28th/29th January at Gerroa – this is the Australia Day “Long Weekend” so book accommodation early!
See you on the water.
Due to the current forecast, we will aim to start the competition shortly after 11:00.
Please make sure you have signed on by 11:00 to give the judges time to rank heats and write up score sheets.
You must be ready for the start of your heat – we don’t wait.
Check white board in the carpark for latest details.
If you want some Red Bull, there should be some promo girls/guys at the comp from 10:00.
See you all there!
What a start to the season. Two events down, both 3/4 mast high with plenty of wind; it couldn’t have been much better. It’s now time for Wanda to deliver the goods!
