Longboard Windsurfer Festival

In 2009 there will be a “Longboard Windsurfer Festival” running from Jan 23-26 @ Salamander Bay, Port Stevens in NSW (north of Newcastle). This event will include the Oceanic Championships for the Raceboards as well as the Windsurfer One Designs. There will a class for the Kona One and also include a section for longboard wave sailing. 80 – 100 competitors are expected. For more information, see the 2mb brochure. I was there for a Wally Nationals, once apon a time – JR (will have to find the pictures).

Wanted: One Design boards

The Westlakes one design group are seeking spares for their aging “Windsurfer One Designs”. Centreboards, sails, masts or the complete kit are sought.

Westlakes Club Plans:
Marcus Saunders is in the process of assembling a small fleet of Windsurfer ODs as a basis for training new sailors and getting them involved in the sport. The plan being to buy one of two second hand and then on-sell them at cost as he trains someone up. So that represents an affordable way for people to get into the sport. Once they begin to enjoy it and can save up and afford it, we are hoping Kona OD will be the where people head. And its certainly looking like a good path. Obviously we’d accommodate both Wallys and Konas for the club and continue this general pattern as our approach.

So, if you have anything useful in the shed, please contact Marcus or Darrell Staight.
