Wow, what a great event. Many thanks to Glenn M for organising & Brett from Stormriders for hosting the event. 3 races before lunch & 2 after in 10-15kn was a great format. There are some very, very quick foilers around.
Perfect conditions for racing and another great day! Thanks to all the organisers and Brett and the Stormriders for a super smoothly run event, even with lucnhtime sausage sizzle, so good!! I think the conditions being so good for 'easy' foiling led to the fleet spread being smaller than usual, meaning we could really turn around the races quickly which was great.
Thanks to all the competitors for turning up. They were treated to a classic 10-15knot S-SE breeze that allowed 5 races in a relatively short space of time.
Average race was 13mins for the winner and only 17mins for the tail.
Some really excellent racing.
I have every start on film and will post soon.
Thanks to team O'Shea who manned the start boat and complimentary BBQ at the lunch break.
Good times....

Big thanks to all the organizers, especially Glen, Brett and Greg. It couldn't happen without all the people doing the work in the background and on the start boat.
Thanks also for the BBQ, made getting lunch a while lot easier, particularly at that location.
Congratulations to the guys at the front of the fleet, it's impressive to see such a high standard being displayed by so many of you!
I posted a bunch of photos and clips of the starts etc on Facebook. Storm-riders windsurfing club
Enjoy..
A great day's foiling on Botany Bay!
A tricky wind but enough for 5 closely fought races. Grae is continuing to dominate but it is close behind him. The kids are getting fast!
A big thanks to Stormriders (good to see you back!) for hosting the event, and particularly to Brett & Greg (and the whole team O'Shea). The sausage sizzle at half time was most appreciated.
A special call out to Amelia Quinlan - the first female foil competitor in NSW - go Amelia!
Results for the round (let me know if you see any mistakes);
For the series , so far (after 2 drops);
