Play Safe at the River Murray

John Rohde — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:18:27 +0000

Easter is a fantastic time to visit the River Murray. If you are visiting the River Murray between Lock 1 (at Blanchetown) and Wellington, please be vigilant for the potential signs of riverbank collapse.

Riverbank collapses are dangerous and can happen quickly, so be vigilant to the signs of potential collapse, including:
• Cracking on the riverbank
• Leaning trees
• Bubbles in the water near the riverbank

Locations that have already been identified as high risk have been sign-posted and in some areas fenced off from public access. But other, unfenced areas may also be at risk, so be alert for the signs of potential collapse.

We want you, your friends, family and visitors to the region to continue to enjoy the river and all it has to offer, while being mindful of how to stay safe.

Call the free-call 24-hour Riverbank Collapse Hotline (1800 751 970) to report new cracking, or for further information. There is also information online at

Current Committee Nominees are:
President: Chris Dimond
Secretary: Richard Upton
Treasurer: John Rohde

Other Positions to be filled:

The Australian Windsurfing Assoc. (AWA) also would like State Advisors to be nominated for the various disciplines/classes. Such people would represent SA in discussions about where to hold the next Nationals.
See http://www.windsurfing.org/contacts.htm for current Advisory Committee members. A person can represent more than one group.

One thing that is not mentioned on the Membership Form is that, if you don’t have an AWA Registered Sail Number, you will automatically be assigned one. You can suggest up to 3 on the membership form, but check the AWA list first. You can change your assigned number to any unallocated AUS number – see the list & rules at

Pseudo One Design

John Rohde — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 01:21:51 +0000

How much diversity is there really in Formula Windsurfing?
How many of you are sailing the same board?
What is the break-up of fleets?
Do we have a pseudo one design already?

Can’t see the forest for the trees!!
