After a couple of months of battling with council, insurers and other organisations in an attempt to get the 2012 Wavesailing Nationals up and running on the Gold Coast, I regret to inform everyone that the event is now cancelled.
Getting organised with permits, an affiliated organisation for insurance proved too difficult on the Gold Coast.
Apologies to those sailors who have already made travel arrangements but I assure you, we wanted this competition to take place as much as you did.
We hope to one day run the Wave Nats on the Gold Coast again, but until such time as the council regulations and public liability restrictions are loosened, I don't see it happening any time soon.
Once again, I apologise to all.
Regards, Chris Powell.
I've never been there.... but based on the surf rescue type TV shows, it appears they let thousands of clueless asian tourists run into the water in apparent mass suicide attempts....... only to be rescued by hard working volunteers.
But you can't run a wavesailing comp?
