Council have approved the Australian wavesailing titles 2015 to be held at Flatrock (between Lennox head and Ballina).
7-14 November 2015.
We chose those dates due to the high chance of good wind and waves, outside school holidays and no major clashes with other international comps (we hope).
We're still waiting on Roads and Maritime services approval so don't book any flights yet but might be time to start thinking about leave etc.
Hoping heaps of you can make it up to a great spot for what promises to be a really good comp.
Notice will be posted as soon as its 100%

Your fiancée will be disappointed your out of the wedding.
PURE GOLD!
She may as well get used to it, marrying a windsurfer and all.
Nice work, now the challenge is to get a WA crew over for the nationals. They should all be primed after spending spring chasing a few waves in the desert.
Most of the West coast crew came from the East coast and moved over here because it's too soft over there.
Flat rock that time of year is out of this world and would come close to matching some of the WA top spots, see the video for proof

Didn't they recently make a movie about east coasters going west?...,
Bring your current and former pwa sailors, world champs, board makers and sail makers...
... Local knowledge will prove the difference

Pretty solid.
Now what's the random surface explosion (top right) at 1.46?
Don't know the spot. Was thinking starboard tack might help the east(not me), until i saw the vid?

Some of the east coasters are pretty extreme!!
Cheers whyner. Spot/photo looks sureal man.
Just went back and had a look at the sic 2014 vid/photos. Any chance of getting some more vid this year
ill pay?
Lets try and get a crew from every state and crown an overall winning STATE.
The quality of riding from all states of late could mean a pretty hotly contested comp.
Can't wait
Any updates - thinking of booking a few weeks leave and coming over for a look / sail if theres an old boys division.
Just need confirmation -I think theres a few other SA crew interested as well
All on track guys. Sorry for the lack of info but its currently in the hands of Roads and Maritime for our final permit.
I just had to assure them (this morning) that no one would collide with each other, or drown.
So please don't do that.
The dates are set, team are ready to put the event together and permits looking good.
Bring heaps of people with you!

See ya in November
Small and a bit onshore, lots of fish, birds, dolphins (some in the background of one of the shots) and still a lot of fun Flattie today.
Hi Guys,
Just to keep people up to date the comp team had a meeting last night. All on track and we are firing for November at Flat rock.
For those who are wondering about conditions - Its most likely to be N-NE at that time of year (port tack) but the chance of a big southerly as well (starboard). This year is an El Nino and the last one of those we had, there was honking early season seabreezes so bring your small sails!
The website will be up and running shortly with some accommodation options, transport, social, entry forms etc. Lennox Heads town and Flat Rock camping ground have all budgets covered from el cheapo to luxury.
As for all these events its run by volunteers and supported by sponsors. Please do your bit and show some love to the sponsors! (and buy the volunteers a beer).
Cheers
Martin
