David at Gybesports would like some ideas on the best timing and best way to select the winner and give it away?
Your ideas pleas.........
The only fair thing to do other than giving it to me, I think is to pull a name out a hat. That way every participant has a chance.
who is eligible?
What about late-comers, or there other prizes.
Lot more people will participate with warmer weather...& some wind!
Names in hat sounds good

Late comers are excluded from the Board Prize at least.
I can tell that this is going to turn into a bunfight.
Give it to me now, to save arguments in the future

Do you know what it's like having such a toy in the house and not being able to use it, It's like going to one of those "See Eye Aye" jails that don't even exist
How could you expect a mature response. As we all know windsurfing keeps you young!!!!!!!!!

How about giving it to the most improved sailor?
Best posted speed at cut-off date / first posted speed = % improvement.
Highest % improvement wins!

Ok I'll try again, I'll be more explicit!!!!!!!!!!!
Thommen1 and Gybesports are giving away a $3000.00 speedboard.
That's pretty generous in my eyes!!!!
How can we hype the giveaway.... to give Thommen1 and Gybesports some desevered brand recognition and exposure for this generous offer??

Ok Hardie might be a bit hard to arrange.
But what if we get Bjorn Dunkerbeck to hand over the prize or pick a name out of a hat.
Im sure he has nothing else to do.
Hardie,
Why don't you contact Boards magazine, (or some other windsurfing mag) see if they would be interested in doing an article on the team challenge and the prize giving.
That way Thommen and Gybesports get heaps of exposure and I get my face in Boards (assuming the prize is awarded to the handsomest competitor
)
I think you should give it to the person that comes up with the best idea on how to select a winner

) I am sure that I can arrange to have a staff photographer there to take the pictures as you hand it over to ME

IMO:
Give the mast away at the end of October, the sail at the end of November, and the board at the end of the 2007 contest (December).
I reckon Thommen must be pretty happy with the exposure they've gotten, there were over 26000 pageviews for July, and every single one of them has "Thommen 1" front and centre
Good on them for believing in this competition, I hope all you speed freaks at least consider buying a Thommen now

That sounds good to me, I just worry whether Hardie will be able to control himself between now and December

Do you think one tiny little speedsail on the mandurah speed strip would be noticed?

I knew there'd be a legit reason, thanx grumps you have now given me permission to use it, and I don't have to feel guilty about it

My Vote goes to the Hat style draw with Hardie being the drawer (or Drawie)Draw it at Comp end with Magazine exposure and Trophy awarding,BUT..... as "The Pit" has the only decient speed strip better just give it to us
I vote with Vando - draw the board Sunday 30 September or for some symbolism Thursday 1 November - the first day of summer - that way the winner will get to use it!!
Stick to the original idea, everyone understands how it works. As for the sponsors they have already received heaps of exposure, maybe we could put them up on this site, as it is the worlds best windsurfing site
Draw out of a hat and get a WA champion windsurfer to do it.
Good luck everyone.
Cheers
Give us each a number, that way we can double check whether you've included us and all the hat entries dont just say hardie . Give Gybesports the number range and let em pick 1. Might I just add that if you win board then you should be considered ineligible for sail and mast to spread the joy a bit (ditto for sail/mast wins).
