Hi Wave Sailing Crew,
Lets try again for round 2 of the Starboard / Severne Winter Waves series,
We are on for this Saturday (30th July) for the second round of the Starboard / Severne Winter Wave Series
Meet at Seaford / U-Turns on the Mid Coast 12.30pm for a 1pm start Saturday 30th July
MetEye is predicting 20-25 knot Northerlies and a small 1-2 for swell
Make sure you are members of Windsurfing SA if you are considering competing, www.windsurfingsa.org.au/
Membership- membership is $35 per person, $10 competition entry (this also gets you a beer and a sausage after)
Open Mens, Open Womens, Masters (40+) and Grand Masters (55+) Hope to see you all there!
*average wind speeds across the state in May and July were the highest for 30 years, just not on Sundays!
See you all Saturday!
yep - just what I was thinking...
Is it worth starting a bit earlier though? MetEye has the wind peaking early arvo, but it often comes in before that down there, especially on those more or less sunny days???
Im thinking start later Ian, cause i cant get there to be ready till about 1.30pm

Why the mid? Wouldn't Middleton be the go, 3 to 4 foot, sounds perfect to me.
MetEye has it pretty much straight north for most of the day...

Lol Scotty, i didnt organise it. Credit goes to Scotty for organising.
F@&ked up that post. I meant to say credit goes to Lano.
Thanks to the organisers. Nice "Anyone can be a Hero!" sized waves:
Here's Kym modelling the comp vests Richard is getting made up ready for the States - sometime next month!
What a great day and a great turn out to round 2 of this years Starboard / Severne Winter Waves Series,
22 sailors on the water, 14 signed up for the comp,
It was certainly winter, with the wind bitterly cold, great for our expat sailors to be sailing in conditions that seemed like a spring day in Weymouth!
We kicked off at 1pm in 15-18 knots northerlies, cross shore, 1 foot waves if you could score one, a one hour expression session with everyone on the water having a crack. Wind picked up towards the end of the hour with a solid consistent 20 knots for the good part of the hour,
Stand out sailing from the likes of Ian Gibbins dominating in the grand masters with some great wave riding. Kym and Anthea fought out the womens with some solid wave riding and jumps on the way out, I thought the crew could have been a bit more generous to Anthea with the judging considering it was her birthday, but it wasn't to be (happy 50th Anthea!)
The Master fellas was the most represented group in the months round, with Juan scoring some of the biggest and longest jumps on the day, also winning the duck gybe tally (if there was one), Good to see some new faces out there with Simon and Rob as well as a few of the sea cliff locals, Ron, making the trip down to the mid.
Open Mens was great to watch from the beach with Brett Roberts, Dave Bond and Gareth Williams trying to out loop and out wave ride each other. Bondy with some great forwards and some good kidney slappers and Brett doing what Brett does (how he doesn't serious do harm to himself is beyond me) especially trying jump gybes in 6 inches of water.
Special mentions to Geoff Mitton for the forward loop attempt on the way in and Richard Upton for getting barrelled in the shore break (would have made for a great video)
Thanks again for all who made it down, a great warm up for states next month,
Sorry for no pics of the water action, but I was sailing for once (I think I need some lake time to get sail fit)
Dave,
It was a fun sail, and nice to have so many sailors there. It was also good to see you out on the water, Dave. And thank you for your very generous under-estimate of my age.
Yep, thanks to everyone involved in the organising. Great way to spend a winters day!
Well done crew.....wish I could be on the water as well, but that's the way it goes
