Big winds and big seas meant for challenging conditions at Windang but soooooo good. Fantastic DTL conditions on 3/4 mast sets with some huge bombs!!!
Outstanding sailing all day. WIN tv got some footage which should be aired Monday or Tuesday night.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to Neil Pryde for the awesome prizes!
Ams winner Ben Kirk
Masters winner Jason Cater
Pros winner Duncan Osborne
Great day

Mmm there were lots of cameras on the beach so bound to be a few good quality photos soon. They might be posted on NSW WA Facebook page
forget facebook Tim, post photos here.
I can imagine the conditions, big swell & right wind direction, what a score.
Not that you care but Longy was too rough. 2 guys managed to get out but wind was too light & patchy. Bombies were at least 3 metres, no-one surfing.
I have some lost property from the weekend - a jacket and some windsurf gear
Send me a pm if you think it might be yours
Cheers
Tim
Will upload some pics in the next fews hours.
Easily the best comp of the season, so fun . Well done to Ben, Jason and Duncan.
Come on zack, we are all stinging to see some of those shots mate.
Sick day! Good effort to get a comp done in those conditions
Cracked my board so i missed my heat - didnt want it filling up with water, then when rigging down my sail got picked up by a tiny gust and dropped on a spiked fence, slicing 1m of it open!!
Ah well, was worth it, had the time of my life all morning.
Keen to see some photos
Here's a still shot taken from the highlights reel as shot on the weekend:

We must wait till WIN run their story tonight (most likely a short voice over clip as part of a sports wrap) that will air on Wollongong's WIN news tonight which can only be viewed in the Wollongong broadcast area.
Once it has aired we will have a few more options in regards to displaying more
Here's a link to the pictures, you should still be able to veiw them even if you don't have facebook.

The best windsurfing event i have seen in years. I remember the days grovelling around waiting for the wind, or trying to wave ride chop during the old days.

PS nearly makes me want to get my gear out of the garage. (nearly)
