As with previous years, shops from around Australia have added to prize kitty, with thanks to KA Sail for the major prize, Caloundra City Sailboards for lots of small prizes, Surf Sail Australia for $500 in gift vouchers, RPS The Boardstore, Windgenuity for 5 DVD's, Craig Hollins for the various GPS and fin cases, Peter Johnston for the dozen home-brew beers and to all the sailors for making the event bigger than ever.

Some results so far...

Saturday
----------
First day for some, a bit early for others... some of the guys went out in the arvo in the NW. Not much to report, but a good few runs with peaks from Kato.

Sunday
---------
What an epic day...!!! I'm not going to say anymore... you've probably already seen the the various forum posts, the Whitecaps Photography pics and the Drift media video... The day was awsome!

Congrats to Spotty for the 50.01 on the dial, and to all the other guys that achieved their PB's.

No sailing today – but we headed off to the local go-kart track. Way more fun than most of us expected...! This may become a tradition...
