Ladies and Gentleman, boys and Girls (and qld'ers),

Don't miss the next event on the NSW Wavesailing calendar, its going to be huge!! Flatrock September 27th-29th.

Flatrock is Just South of Lennox Head, a beautiful seaside town with great beaches, cafes and shops. Bring your family for a great weekend away. The Flatrock tent park has allocated spaces for us on the beach side so if you stay there you will be able to leave your gear rigged ready for each day. Mention that your from the NSW Wavesailing to get into our allocated area.

Flatrock - The Wavesailing State of Origin is a fun event that caters for all standards of wave sailors. There are prizes galore plus a great social atmosphere so get there. There is a friendly but fierce rivalry between the NSW and Queensland wavesailors with a shield awarded to the team that sails hard and has the most fun, last year NSW won the shield. Can Queensland come back this year?

This event is a part of the expression session series with the aim being participation and fun, come along, sail all day, party all night.

For the competitive sailors, there will be a super session final (conditions dependant) to determine the winner of the event. The super session is judged using the PWA criteria and the top 2 waves, top 2 jumps will be calculated. So if you think you have what it takes to win, come along and give it a go.


The local community is stoked to have us and we have huge support that is going to make this an event not to miss.

Sponsors are;
WindsurfNsnow
Ballina Toyota
Lennox Head Pub
Surf FX
Greed Clothing
Black Project Fins

Can't wait for the weekend fella and I am quite literally counting the days!

One little thing though, I'm pretty sure our sponsors at "Greef Clothing" would appreciate a quick edit to the start of this thread...

Had a fun sail this arvo at flatrock, over head punchy waves, 15kts cross shore.

I've only been here a couple of times and it's ideal for wavesailing.

Looking forward to this weekend. Yeeeeeww

Sailed another awesome session this arvo. A few more faces out on the water as it gets closer to the competition weekend. Tomorrows forecast looks unreal and the southerly looks like it will continue into Saturday.

Where meeting with our entertainment sponsors, Lennox head hotel, to sort out the party details Saturday night. It's going to be huuuge.

We have close to $5000 worth of cash and prizes to give away so get here!!!
