Windsurfing Victoria, in conjunction with Mordialloc Sailing Club, is going to be holding some course racing clinics at the upcoming Mordialloc Sailing Club Winter Series.
We will have access to a RIB and some inflatable marks for our use in the mornings before the racing starts. Possible topics that will be covered include, basic rules, start practise, mark roundings, how to tack and gybe a longboard quickly etc.
The course racing clinics will begin at 10am, being rigged and ready to go on water at 10.30am, and off the water around 11.30am. Following the clinics, racing for the winter series starts at 1pm, which all windsurfers are invited to take part in.
This is an open invitation to any board and rig that can get around a course, a raceboard, W.O.D, SUP, anything with a dagger board! If you currently race, have thought about trying it, or use to do it back in the day, drag your old board out and come down and give this a go.
The first clinic and winter series race is on Sunday the 7th of August, and every Sunday following till the end of September.
If you are interested in taking part in the course racing clinics, please let me know so I can have an idea of numbers.
I also have a spare old equipe, and can get my hands on another mistral, for anyone who doesn't have a longboard, but would like to come down and have a go.

G'day Matt,
I'm interested however can I use either my futura 101 or even my GO 175?
I don't have a longboard and I don't think Megs will allow another board in a quiver of 5.
Most SUP's don't have dagger boards right? (my apologies if I'm totally off the mark here). So then why wouldn't a Go or similar be ok?
The other important things I forgot to mention - Mordialloc Sailing club has hot showers, heated club rooms, fully stocked canteen, and cold beer 
there is plenty of parking at mordialloc sailing club and best of all its free !!!
Guys and Girls,
Don't forget tomorrow's WV/MSC course racing clinic and social racing at Mordi Sailing Club from about 10am.
What a great turn out for a very light wind day. Thanks to all that came and for Matt, WV co-Course Racing Team Leader for organizing a great day and series. Plus thanks to WaSSuP for helping support the event with a number of SUP windsurfers.
If you would like to attend the coming days and you do not have board, there is a number ways we can help you get out there. If you have an old long board, bring it down next time. You will be surprised how much fun you will have.
Yep, I can confirm it was a well organized event, I was spewing I couldn't participate due to a nasty skin infection on my leg that I caught in Bali. Well next time for me.
Sorry fellas I could not make it in the end. These new babies just don't understand that windsurfing should have priority. Cheers
the Mordi guys will be at Mordi sailing club tomorrow afternoon hoping for some breeze for a social course race. if you like to join them ask for Matt or Ben.
Another good turn out today, but the nice weather did forget to bring the wind. Today once again had a good turn out. The clinic was more of a on-beach chat about the coming season and the different windsurfing classes. The water action was more a SUP day. Thanks to WaSSup support.
