Who's going to Gerroa this weekend?

Anyone get a sail last Sunday? It was another mystery swell at Wanda, wind was a bit up and down and slightly on-shore at times but fun none the less. Gerroa must have been excellent.

Fingers crossed for a good weekend's sailing.

See you there.

At this stage the forecast is showing sailing at Gerroa for the saturday

Rego in the carpark between 9-11am and if the wind is up early enough we hope to have first heats on the water from 11.30

We trust everyone appreciates that with the great turnout we have been having that it is important to get your gear down the beach and be ready to sail early as we are hoping to get through a full round in all divisions.

If the conditions allow we will be running shorter heats with less guys to make it easier to judge, so it is vital that everyone checks the whiteboard for their heat times and assist with judging at least two heats.

Looking forward to another great weekend of sailing

I'm in - and I've been working on a new move!
I missed the mystery swell though - but got some great SUP down the coast and some awesome MTB as well.

Plenty of frogs in!

What kind of move Tim? You can't just work on new moves without telling everybody - we have to keep up the pace!

Guys, please make sure that not all the froggies are in the same amateurs heat. Thanks.

Check with the other Judges who will do the seeding for the first heats - i have to keep out of it for obvious reasons.

As for my new move...I'm calling it the "spectacular crash and burn"!

your too late with that move, I've already perfected it. Next move i'm working on is the frog hop. i think ben needed that move in his fist heat last comp.

The graph looks good but the forecast is saying SW winds for saturday, looks a bit dodgy to me

Yep I agree, keep all the french doods out of heat 1, and all the poms, and all the other skippies, just leave heat 1 to me.

Hi all, nice weekend, despite de lack of wind, I had great fun.

I am happy to share the pictures but haven't found my way around on this forum yet, what is the best way to post them ?

Can someone recommend me the best place to repair a Windsurf board in Sydney ? Made crack yesterday on the deck, not a big deal but want it repaired professionally.

Looking forward to your advice.

I haven't posted photos myself but I think you just click 'add an image to my message' when you are posting a reply and follow directions to upload it from your PC. Not sure if there is a better way for posting higher quality photos.

regarding board repair (on the nortside) I think Windsurfnsnow use John Hall for repairs, call Sam or Chris on 9971 0999 for advice.

Results have been posted - finally....

Hopefully correct after the delay, the lack of finals being run meant the points calculation was difficult, but we believe they are consistent

Results are here http://www.nswwavesailing.org/results2.asp?eventID=73

Most divisions are so close that the final event will be where the season is decided - note that approvals are in place for February 13th-14th at Wanda - also for Windang as well if Southerly

YTD Rankings here www.nswwavesailing.org/ranking2.asp?rankingID=10

A sail on at Gerroa tomorrow i think
