What a great day, the grins were even broader than the reaches
Big thanks to the organisers and sponsors
Thanks Ploppy,
Nearly missed me but I think I need a new mast or sail or something?
that looks sensational.
tell us more, where exactly was it, how did it come about...
great photos ploppy. thanks for sharing.
hi trousers,
burrum heads is about 4.5 hrs north of brisbane in the wide bay area. (between bundaberg and hervey bay). the strip is curved and 4.5 km long.
there are at least another 2 strips that the locals use. the water is crystal clear and warm, the sand is white and there are palm trees everywhere. (sounds nice hey )
the seasons are northerlies around oct/nov and southerlies around feb/mar. the bump and jump is also fantastic plus there are small waves on offer.
the day after the speed event i went sailing (although briefly) at high tide in perfect conditions. the wind kicks in around lunch time most days.
the event was started 3 years ago and we moved it to burrum heads 2 years ago once local guru geoff had let us know just how good the place is.
most say no need to go to fiji just go to burrum.
what stands out at burrum is how friendly and laid back everyone is. at the event we had lots of kids who also love the place.
oh, i forgot to mention, when it's not windy apparently the fishing is top notch. i think the place hosts one of the biggest fishing comp in qld over easter.
some more photos.
Cheers Gesalt.
Although some may find this a sad indictment of my life, I cannot think of a time when I'm happier than in nice weather, powered up with loads of other sailors, so those shots look like my idea of heaven.
I gotta move somewhere windier...

I would like to say it was the best weeks windsurfing holiday of my life sailing most days parties every night. Plus meeting new windsurfers & putting faces to names on the net gps site.
