Ladies and Gents,
Warren Holder (and NSWWA) would like to put together a definitive list of Australian Titles winners since the inaugural event in 1986! The intention is a perpetual trophy and a list on a website we're putting together.
I think it's a great idea to document what is key Australian Wavesailing heritage.
Please be open minded when you see this list as Warren has taken a lot of time to put it together. There will be lots of debate but please keep it friendly!
All help from you will be gratefully received and please ask others who don't come on to this forum.
Australian Titles winners
Note Masters was originally 30+ years of age until 19??
Now Masters 35+ years, Grand masters 45+ years, Legends 55+ years
Juniors Under17 years, Groms Under15 years, Youth Under 20 years

Yep, Phillip Island was in 2000, still waiting for my t shirt too. I am pretty sure Oli won the old guys at Margs.
This is some intel that Anne Pointon (thank you) has put together. Please can you have a look over it see if it all makes sense - she has raided old magazines and photo albums. Also, is it Jeremy Huritz or Herwitz and Ricky Vandertoorn or Van der Toorn?
We're getting there!
Thanks for all the input.
