PS for those looking to book accommodation in Woolgoolga you might want to start making a move now to get somewhere to stay!
Hope everyone got a sail today - I imagine Birubi and Boat Harbour near Cronulla could have had wind and waves.
Cheers

looking forward to a bit of friendly competition,
i was hoping to get some advise re the woolgoolga event. do people generally fly up or drive, if flying how do you go with getting gear on the plane?
i know with virgin you can have up to 29 kg with sporting equip then its $10 per Kg.
any tips with accomidation? do people rent houses and split the cost?
cheers Duncan
Hi Dunko
Most drive up - 6 hours but you don't have to rent a car when you get there!
For accomm - PM me you're always welcome!
Woopi accomm - there are a few houses but getting up to $600pw and you can only access from Saturday arvo. A few people stay in Coffs which is only 20mins south - lots of cheap motels.
THere is the Diggers Rest in Woolgoolga - next door to the RSL and about $80-90 per night. There is a Caravan park as well on the water.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the info tim. Driving looks the best option, as long as you can make certain it is as good this year as it looked last year.
i think the swag will be my accommodation.
Fortunately it works both NE and SE but it's actually better when its big SE as the waves have a little more power. NE is fun but you need to rig a bit bigger than you think as the waves tend to be a little softer and crumbly when generated by seabreezes.
Looks like we will have a curry night on the Saturday night for everyone and be at the Seaview tavern on the Sunday night.
If you get the chance for a few extra days stop by Crescent Head for great point wave or book yourself for a round of golf at Bonville! It will also be whale watching season.
cheers
Google earthed Woolgoolga, looks great, where is the sailing done, on the north side of the headland??

Come south from Woolgooga, there is a little point and island called flat-top at the mouth of Hearn's lake.
Sail north of this point in anything southerly and south of it in anything northerly.
