Can someone tell me who is in charge of L 2L? I need to contact a human but I can't find any details. This used to be when I would talk to WAKSA
Thanks guys. Any new WA girls on the breeze? Can you point them in my direction so we can get then into WACK.
cheers for being so helpful and if anyone knows the person who you told me to contact (and something of who I am) can you put in a good word for me :)

Tbh. I'd prefer that freestyle meggaloop event than a one tack race.
Looks like its the mega loop for you buddy, unfortunately I didn't hear your name called out.
Cheers Weta.
I have been in the event twice now. Tbh- I would never touch top 25.
Glad someone else has a shot.
