With the event video now finished it's time for the thanks to all that took part and helped out. 
, i just added the last 25% of edits and did a small amount of the filming. (gotta love movie maker auto movie function 
)
The hi-def version is very nice. We've already bored one (non-sailing) visitor with it.
Do you have last year's video too? (I really should check before asking, but feeling a bit lazy today...)
awseome video, thanks for preparing and posting.
Watched Aus251 (Dave M?) gybing again and again. Truly artistic. If I am right about who it is can he not be encouraged back to posting on GTC? I imagine he is competitive at all divisions, I would love to see his alphas
dave certainly is a great sailor alright. i asked both him and john if they could do some gybes in front of the cam so we had some extra footage...... holly smokes did he light things up. those freestyle tricks he is doing on a race sail at over 30 knots. awesome!!!!!
she said, but they just sail up and back. i think that's code for back and forth.

great vid! and by the sounds of it a great event as well!
burrum looks unbelievable...even looks flat a hundred meters off shore its now on my wish list of places to sail(as well as the pit) before i take the big catapult out of life!
bugger i don't have any vids of the crashes. i can name and shame though.
especially one person who was picked up first due to a broken uni.
1 boat went out to retreived sailor and rig the other boat getting the board which went the other way. everythiung and one was brought back to the shore to discover said sailor had neglected to actually click the euro pin into the extension.
another person sheered a uni cup clean off with his leg and then put his foot through the underside of his board.
anyways, hope both you are feeling better.
hi snides, i've been there twice and only sailed for 15 minutes in total. 
first year i didn't take any extra days off so didn't have time, this year i broke a footstrap on the only board i took after 15 minutes on the water. 
next year i WILL SAIL!!!!
Some people are so careless, and yes my shoulder is still hurting from catapult later in the day. Maybe you shouldn't have given me my board back.
oh the embaressment. 
channel 7 coverage. http://exposureroom.com/7b12be5a1d7d4e9bb7c51c2e89b8bfff/
all shot on the light wind day of the event.
Gestalt,
Quite a good news article for our little known sport - the general punters would be none the wiser that we weren't going fast. Although did you see how fast that guy with the Code Red was going
BTW - what were you and Mikey chatting about in the background to Vando's piece. Nice ambiguity as to whether Vando broke the Australian Nm record racing from Brisbane to Burrum. That's one long broad reach.
...i heard Sausage was up for the part
...i heard Sausage was up for the part
that's all a bit cheesey sausage.
now for somehting a little more serious.
mikey and i were going to do some shadowing but developed performance anxiety so we ended up just loitering in the background ..... 
actually we were discussing the weather.
and very happy with the coverage. 2 minutes on prime time is a great outcome. the guys were really happy with the day also and their work.
i still haven't received channel 9 stuff but i'll do up a dvd of photos, videos etc and send them out to everyone for sharing etc. photos won't include borders or watermarks.
cheers.
pic of speed HQ taken on the tuesday before coming home. wind was 15 knots dead onshore, white caps out the back. perfect for blasting along the shoreline in crystal clear water.
oh i miss burrum.
sorry for the double post, i tweaked a few things and uploaded again.
