2024 SurfFX Burrum Windfest
Saturday 20-04-2024 - Saturday 27-04-24
Australia's largest and longest running GPS windsurfing event the 2024 SurfFX Burrum Windfest is on again.
Major sponsors for the event are SURF FX and the Fraser Coast Council.
More details to follow early in 2024
Windwanderers is pleased to announce that the sponsorship from DUOTONE will continue into 2024 Surf-FX Burrum Windfest. We thank them for their continued support.
Hey if anyone is wanting to book a camp site at the Burrum Heads middle caravan park for the Windfest bad news the park is under renovations so only the front river area is open, and it's booked out.
There is another campground upriver.
So, to clarify, the comp starts on Saturday, finishes on Friday, presentations Friday night, Saturday reserve day ?

I believe we have found the problem, have another try now.

Burrum Magic
First visit to Burrum for me last year and tried it alone.
As soon as i hit that magic mile it blew my hat off, and blew my mind!
I was so excited i didn't even know it was gone 
Looking forward to coming back to look for that hat April 20 
Burrum Windfest is getting closer - only a couple of weeks to go. To keep costs down we have eliminated late entry fees for the event. This may mean that that if you enter after next Monday you may not receive an event shirt.
If you want to be guaranteed a event shirt you need to register before next Monday. Our T-shirt order for the event needs to be finalized on this day. We always order a few extra but they might not be in your size,
See you at Burrum
After looking at the forecast I begged work for leave - tick
Begged wife for forgiveness - Jury is still out.
See you all Saturday!!
If anyone is looking for a spare room I have one at San Marco. Looking at $400 for 7 nights, starting Sat 20th.

The wind is looking great for next week.
Geoff,
This year, are you substituting 30 minutes for the hour discipline?

Why? if you do 2 x 30min it equals the same :) the 2nd 30 min is the proper part of the challenge and sorts everyone out, yes its hard, thats the entire point.
30 min is like running a 1mile running race instead of running a two mile :) ...heaps easier.

last few years we've never had a full hour of consistent wind, seeing a dozen or so sailors forcing themselves to dredge around to complete their hour is a pitiful sight indeed...
30min for Burrum is a good call... might also get a few unfit people (me now 100%) also having a crack.
A sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind .
good luck for the rest of the week guys ,sorry I couldn't make it .
Moonlight on the magical mile
