Come along to the FREE Learn to Windsurf/Fun Day, Lagoon Bay, Low Head on the 16th November

If you are keen to give windsurfing a crack or have a friend that's keen, come along and meet some of the local sailors who will be there to help you get started on the windsurfers provided.

All you need to bring along is a wetsuit, wetsuit boots and a life jacket Ben Wilson/Paul Tenteye/Al Cook/John Huett are organizing this event and will be stoked with anyone that can help on the day.

This day is all about fun and that's what's windsurfing is all about. If you want any more information or can help on the day please contact Ben at Ph 0400638795 or email: bearhooverpup@gmail.com Keep watching this post for more information

The day will conclude with the 3rd Annual "Taste of the Tamar" so come prepared with snags and a few drinks to watch the sun go down.

If the girlie sailor in the top photo had attended a learn to windsurf day she would have been told that her harness lines were way too far forward, as they should be 1/3 of the way down the boom and she shouldn't be able to let go with her front hand, but I am guessing you didn't notice that aspect of the photo Ben.

Sometimes I just don't have anything to say.....

Actually.... 1/3 of the way... how come I didnt know that (no answer necessary).

Sorry Gill - that "girlie" pic was my fault I can't let Ben take the rap.

It was the water colour in the pic that was closest to the lagoon sandbar colour that got my attention first... I swear!

I believe you , maybe not ... but I suppose I am in the minority gender and just wondering where the spunky lad is to compliment the spunky chick.

Hey Johnny,
Would you like me to advertise this at a local high school? Approximately 880 students.
Cheers

Hi Guys Floody and I were talking about weekend and reckon it would be a good day to include a sailboarding gear swap/sell/giveaway at lagoon might get some people into it el'cheepo who are on the fence about getting into it !! Floody has enough old kit in his to gear up half of the norths population! might be worth an add in the examiner etc .

Early long range forecast is for 10-15 knots WSW. Ideal learning conditions.

Ben do I need to bring anything else up?

Unless things change, we'll be calling it a GO mate.

Are you sure you're not going to be here to be the guest speaker tonight? We had plans for you ...

EDIT: High Tide @ 10:43am

Yep Fos - the Floods were very kind to bring down their Gemini for a few of us to give it a crack - I'm sure houston will recount his adventure face to face

Top day once again, and the Taste of the Tamar raising the bar this year - a very prestigious and very exclusive event.

Something like 15 on the water learning...


Plenty of action off the water...


Stories... lots of stories...

First time experience for me, I have never been luffed up by a tandem before and the two characters who performed the manoeuver can't help themselves bragging about it (last pic)
Mixture of old and new gear, washed 9 years of mould gunge and bird poo off the old Speed long board put on brand new KA Race 7.1 and had a great day
